“After a struggling writer’s sister is kidnapped by deranged script writer, he’s given 24 hours to create the perfect logline for the maniacs new screenplay, or his sister dies!”

I really like the steaks at play here, it sounds like a classic Hollywood thriller. With so much forward momentum will there be a point to fully develop the Characters? Maybe the Antagonist is a former Hollywood exec or failed child Star trying to recapture former glory? I think the Antagonist's connection to show business would raise the stakes even more.

I've got 150 million close friends lined up with a dollar each to underwrite this puppy! Let's go for it!

Also ... maximum points for "Life's a pitch ... and then you die!"

Fucking. Amazing.

I was going to ask why the deranged screenwriter would kidnap a shitty writer to write the logline for him ... but then someone done swooped in with that "famous novelist" shit and all my fears were alleviated.

It's a done deal.

Somebody get me Hollywood on the line.

Great feedback Valentin!

For Tag line 4 you could add: Life's a pitch... then you die!

It is if he is asked to write or die, lol

Looks like 'the perfect logline' to me.
Do we need a flaw? Is writer's block a flaw?
