Working title: Slipstream
A horrific automobile accident throws two women from different walks of life into a case of mistaken identity. One woman, an Undercover Agent, fights for her life in a coma. The other women mistaken for the Agent discovers this was no accident and must fight the Agent's adversaries to find out why they are wanted dead.

Hi Tigerlilysummers,
Your plot smells as good as NORTH BY NORTH WEST
“A woman mistaken with one unknown in a car crash discovers it was not an accident and must fight the latter’s enemies to understand why they are wanted dead”
If the reason “why they are wanted dead” is not that the agent was unmasked, you can use:
“A woman mistaken with an undercover agent in a car crash discovers it was not an accident and must fight the latter’s enemies to understand why they are wanted dead”
Jean-Marie gives two great logline choices.
The reason being; in your logline you concentrate on two characters, the woman who is mistaken for the agent and the agent herself.
But since the agent is in a coma clearly the woman mistaken for the agent is the lead character.
Jean-Marie does a great job concentrating on one character in the logline thus telling the story and keeping the word count down.
I think this is a great idea for a movie, good luck with this!
Hi Jean-Marie and Richiev,
Thanks so much for your feedback. It is really helpful. Only recently conjuring this one in my mind, I hadn’t quite figured out how to detach from the second character 🙂
Great tips! I hadn’t seen North by North West and when I IMDB’d it the logline was inspiring:
“A hapless New York advertising executive is mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies, and is pursued across the country while he looks for a way to survive”.
My intention is to make a martial art film, so will work on revising this one and re-post it when I figure out how to bring that into it too!
Thanks again!!
Cheers 🙂
