new-cover-iAs I’m getting ready to go back out into Hollywood in the New Year with a new pitch for my screenplay/movie, what do you think is the best title?

 

Pitch Opening: Since 2004, Hollywood has been looking for the next “The Passion of the Christ”—something compelling with comparable domestic and international appeal and box-office potential. Something fresh yet familiar that will make some kind of noise. Here it is:

 

Logline: In dreadful fulfillment of Jesus’ most dramatic prophecy, a Jewish priest and army general switches sides, plays a pivotal role, and struggles with the decision to destroy Jerusalem and the Temple during the Jewish-Roman War of A.D. 66-70. (Based on a true story.)

 

Genre: A high-concept, action-adventure, historical and political epic.

 

Framing: Warriors is The Passion of the Christ meets Braveheart with a Gladiator twist.

 

Endorsement: “It’s the greatest story never told!” (Dr. Ted Baehr, Movieguide)
