In a future when clones are a trillion-dollar corporate secret, an LA homicide detective falsely accused of murder must track down her duplicate to prove her innocence. (UPDATED)

It’s okay to use the Hollywood setting in the script, but for the purpose of a logline it’s a glittering distraction. ?It’s not the hook, the “wow!” factor that will get people to read the script.
The hook, the “wow!” factor is the cloning, ?that in a dystopic future, people are being routinely cloned. And the detective is being framed for the murder committed by her clone. It’s a hook that will work wherever the story is set whether in glamorous Hollywood, Ca or mundane Hollywood, Md. ?Focus on the hook.
And if you insist on setting it in Hollyweird, then ?leverage it for the plot. ?Write a story about a famous actress who is framed for a murder committed by her clone. ?And the female detective must solve the case. ?I suggest that this ?makes it more relevant to the Hollywood setting. And the notion that cloning has turned celebrities into a mass-produced commodity will have a stronger appeal to Hollywood movie makers than the cloning of lower life forms, like detectives. ?The script will be much more marketable.
