EDITED: In Victorian London a ruthless spy battles a fanatic telepath to thwart his plot to kill the Queen and plunge the world into war.

No worries at all. Does this have to be a movie? Could it be a limited series? It sounds like the episodic structure would lend itself really well to the format. I love watching a show where an entire episode diverges from the main plot and shows us more of a specific character - see Mike's episode in season 1 of Better Call Saul.

Hi Mike. For some reason I can't reply to your comment further down, so I'm replying here.

I would be glad to show you the synopsis, but I'm putting the script down for a bit. wrote the film script directly from my comic script and the more I read it, the more I see major problems with the structure, What worked (really well) in a comic that is spaced out from month to month does not work (extremely does not work) in a movie. Essentially I've got a kind of flashback telling the villains story. In the comic that sequence takes up an entire issue. It's not just a flashback, it's a story telling device it works really well. If this were cable series, it would be an entire episode and it work just fine. But in a movie? You can't pull a fourth of the film to do that. I've got a solution, but I'm going to sit on it for a month or two as I've got other fish to fry and those fish have deadlines.
Thanks!

Last one is perfect! Hahaha. That being said though, I love loglines - once you nail a really good one you suddenly have something that can be a vital tool throughout both your writing and marketing process. It can tell a producer potential budget, locations, theme, tone, number of actors, etc etc. It might seem like a pointless task to appease lazy producers, but actually once you embrace the format, being able to distill the essence of your plot to a single sentence is a far more valuable skill than most writers give it credit for.

I like zealot - but I want to know what his belief is. I want to know why killing the Queen will start a world war. Why does he want to start a world war in the first place? See Richiev's comments. We need to know the endgame to understand why it's so important. Richiev just referred to the bad guy as a "telepathic assassin"... I think that works and needs less explanation (other than the "why" issue).

If you want, message me with your synopsis. Happy to take a look.
