    After acceptance into a new gene-altering program, a nerdy, popular eSports gamer undergoes a risky, unknown side-effects procedure to become a NFL quarterback hoping to win a Super Bowl.

    I like the premise. Weedy gamer undergoes experimental treatment to become buff – like a Captain America type thing.

    He wouldn’t just get accepted as a quarterback though. This logline makes it sound as though the treatment MAKES him a quarterback. Sure that’s not the case but could do with clarifying.

    I think you can trim this down a lot and then add some more stuff to remove questions:

    “After undergoing a risky procedure to “pro-athlete” his body, a nerdy eSports gamer must…”

    Then tell us what he is going to do next.

    Become quarterback and fall in love with a cheerleader, only for a cheerleader to love him for his personality and he still gets her when he goes back to normal? Cliche perhaps? Body swap type things usually are a little bit… everybody always ends up happy to go back to who they were in the end.

    I think including “risky” is begging for an MPR. At the midpoint, we discover that the procedure….? something? I don’t know what. Maybe it’s only meant to be a temporary and he discovers that it’s potentially going to be permanent if he doesn’t do something he doesn’t want to do. Whatever message you’re trying to say “be happy with who you are” or “there’s no quick fix” etc, it’s worth using this to help with the MPR.

    Agree with Trix. Should it read "mysterious cult OF his own personalities"? So one of his personalities is being held captive in his mind - I kinda like this idea. Similar(ish) premise to Identity. Goal of escaping is good, makes sense BUT since all of this is happening inside the character's mind,Read more

    Agree with Trix.

    Should it read “mysterious cult OF his own personalities”?

    So one of his personalities is being held captive in his mind – I kinda like this idea. Similar(ish) premise to Identity. Goal of escaping is good, makes sense BUT since all of this is happening inside the character’s mind, I want to know what this represents in the real world. If he escapes, does that mean his true personality carries on existing in the real world? If he perishes, what does that mean in the real world? There are no stakes yet. I need to understand that to understand why I care, especially when you’ve made it clear that this is all in a character’s head.

    The girl… what does she represent? She’s another personality? Given that we know he’s being held captive by his own personalities, surely saying “may or may not exist” is redundant. She can’t exist because it’s all happening inside this guy’s head.

    My suggestion, make it so the main personality is free but discovers a girl is being held captive and he then must go and rescue her putting himself at risk. Give us a reason why. It’s his sister or something. And, as Trix suggested, don’t tell us this is all in his head. That’s the twist and wouldn’t happen until the end of Act II probably.

    Whilst the twist might be the most interesting part, a logline for The Empire Strikes Back would NEVER reveal that Vader was Luke’s father. One for 6th Sense would NEVER reveal that Bruce Willis was dead all along. I could go on. The twist and the hook are completely separate. If you think it’s a little boring without that, try and spice it up so the twist is still a secret.

    Definitely an interesting hook. A camera that predicts the future? Or a possible future at least? Agree with the others. As Richiev flagged up, this is kinda just the inciting incident. We need to know what he plans to do about it. What's his objective goal?
