Who thinks it would be best if they were after the same girl? – and that becomes the MP twist/hook of the logline? Curious.

Hi Savinh0, I watched the following this weekend: MY BODYGUARD. CAN’T BUY ME LOVE. (underrated - don’t care what anyone thinks.) HIDING OUT. THREE O’ CLOCK HIGH.

Hi Savinh0,
I watched the following this weekend:
MY BODYGUARD.
CAN’T BUY ME LOVE. (underrated – don’t care what anyone thinks.)
HIDING OUT.
THREE O’ CLOCK HIGH. (Kinda like if Scorsese did a teen movie.)
PRIVATE SCHOOL. (charming in the most 80s way.)
SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL.
LUCAS.
PRETTY IN PINK.
Ended up with this logline.
I considered the love triangle thing. But not sure. It is a clear hook/twist.
The love triangle thing is certainly a trope to do a homage of/celebrate/kinda mock. It occurs in SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL, LUCAS, PRETTY IN PINK, etc.
Admittedly – I don’t want my geek loner to be friend-zoned or to be this selfless saint. Or… perhaps he gets the girl and the bad boy criminal new boy turns out to be the saint.
I dunno. Be interesting if they both fell for an amalgam of KERRI GREEN in LUCAS and AMANDA PETERSON in CAN’T BUY ME LOVE.
Lastly – be great to set this in the 80s. (Won’t mention that in the logline.)
Thanks for the feedback.
