In a future where criminals are punished with instant aging, when a young ex-convict -turned 70- learns about a place where his youth can be restored, he has a week to find it before the process becomes irreversible.
This is definitely a great concept, but what would happen after his youth is restored? Would he become a fugitive again? It feels like getting his youth back wouldn't be the end of the story, but a secondary goal for something bigger (proving his innocence, maybe). What are the obstacles for the proRead more

What are the obstacles for the protagonist? I think you need to include in the logline your idea about the experimentation that involves the government. Or at least mention that, in the process of finding the place where his youth can be restored, he’ll put a top secret program that involves the government at risk.
As everyone else, I see great potential in an action film starring a young man imprisoned in an old-man’s body. I would simply link the success of the protagonist (getting his youth back) with the opportunity to prove his innocence. Maybe that’s the countdown’s purpose: he must find the evidences of his innocence before the process becomes irreversible.
In any case, I’d love to see this film!

I will develop it and see where it takes me. I guess the guilt theme doesn't work so well in this story. Thank you very much for your time FFF, really appreciated!

You just mentioned the exact element that I want to develop in the script: guilt. The protagonist would feel guilty for not doing something about the killing.

You just mentioned the exact element that I want to develop in the script: guilt. The protagonist would feel guilty for not doing something about the killing. On the other hand, he would try to keep his affaire a secret, but he can’t live with the idea of a killer getting away with it (also becuase he really liked his lover). So he would be in a crossroad, until he finds a clue that puts him in the path to discover who the killer is. And then curiosity and justice would push him to investigate.
And yes, by chasing the killer he would be putting his family life at risk, but he can’t just let it go and he belives he can uncover the killer and save his own family at the same time (and this would put him under tons of stress).
From your words, I can imagine a better crafted logline like: After witnessing the killing of his lover, an unfaithful family man must find the killer before the police investigation uncovers his infidelity.
I think this sounds great, but the protagonist is moved by a selfish motivation. I like it because it makes total sense, but it’s less interesting to me than the guilt theme.
Thanks again!
