Hi Patrick,
Powerful setup! Reminds me of THE SEARCHERS…
Like I said elsewhere on this site, commas are your friend. You are using quite a few, but need more.
“The Gods have other plans…” may be a tad vague. Typically, you should reveal what the new direction is (at the Mid Point, I presume).
Finally, I would cut “his family” at the end. It feels tagged on, and is essentially unnecessary.
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Karel
Hello,
usually You don’t use personal names in the logline (like “Leif”), because names means nothing (unless the character is a famous real person like Mozart). The basic idea is that each elements of a logline must have a meaning for the plot (if the hero is called “Erlend”, to keep the name?scandinavian like Leif, does it make any difference?).
To understand if I would like the movie or not I feel like I need to know what you mean by “god have other plans”: I suggest to add?some details in the logline about this?-?besides you can cut some details from the setting – mother and sister kidnapped for me is enough, I don’t care a lot about the farm in flames in this context, maybe you can sum up better?- the kidnap gives enought motivation to the character. I would spend some words about the opponent too.
