    Hello manager,
    I hope this message gives you a brief but intriguing idea on what the next blockbuster movie will be about. I will let you judge of the concept.

    The story revolves around a world where memories are no longer personal. A guy named Bob invented a powerful tech corporation that can allow people to extract memories, buy memories, sell memories and even steal memories. A protagonist was haunted by the amount of loss memories his wife loss. He went to the black market to see if his luck would appear. On the way he found lots of memories that should of been forgotten and some that should be kept.

    He saw a man walking way to a little town , holding a memory in a see-trough plastic bag. He chased the man and had to pay a large amount of money to get the memory. He had no money so he worked 10 jobs a day and finally got the memory. There was one problem, the memory had become black. May be it was cursed by the man. May be it was to late. There was so many unanswered questions.

    He walked and walked to the professor of the invention and recovered the memory and the wife got the memory back.

    That is a brief short idea of the story. What should i name it? if you have any questions or comments please ask.

    Warm regards,
    Camilla.

  2. Here are 100 words to add to your blockbuster concept, Ayaan, focusing on escalating tension and the unique nature of the underwater civilization:

    Enhancements to Your Concept
    The city’s emergence triggers unprecedented seismic activity and bioluminescent phenomena, hinting at its immense power. Its inhabitants, the Hydro-Sapiens, possess an ethereal beauty masking their ferocity, with advanced bio-luminescent technology woven into their very being. They communicate through sonic pulses that disrupt modern electronics, intensifying the feeling of helplessness on the surface. The marine biologist’s team, initially awe-struck, soon encounters their chilling defense mechanisms – living architecture that shifts and ensnares, and creatures engineered for warfare. This initial contact establishes the Hydro-Sapiens not just as an enemy, but as a deeply alien, formidable force, making their eventual war even more terrifyingly inevitable.

  3. Subtitle: A New Movie guaranteeing crowds.
    Genre: Underwater Adventure / Eco-Fantasy

    Hello Sara, I’m writing with an electrifying new blockbuster concept that I believe has the potential to be hit this summer. In a market hungry for fresh, high-concept thrills, I’ve developed an idea that promises high results this summer.

    My idea is simple, I’m sure your familiar with the idea of the lost underwater civilisation as been used in many high end films…. As global sea levels rise and human civilisation struggles, a mysterious, ancient city long believed to be myth suddenly rises from the deepest trench of the ocean. It’s a technological and biological marvel, but its inhabitants are not friendly. A brilliant marine biologist, whose family was lost to the rising waters, must lead an expedition into this new, alien world, only to discover it’s not a sanctuary, but a harsh weapon about to unleash its fury on the surface world.

    Its inhabitants, the Hydro-Sapiens, possess a beauty masking their ferocity, with advanced bio-luminescent technology attached into their very being. They communicate through sonic pulses that disrupt modern electronics, intensifying the feeling of helplessness on the surface. The marine biologist’s team, initially awe-struck, soon encounters their chilling defense mechanisms, living architecture that shifts and ensnares, and creatures engineered for warfare. This initial contact establishes the Hydro-Sapiens not just as an enemy, but as a deeply alien, formidable force, making their eventual war even more terrifyingly inevitable.

    For centuries, these creatures have harboured deep-seated hatred, and their leader, the son of one sacrificed to the human world, is back for vengeance. Throughout the movie, ominous messages and warnings will be sent from the underwater civilization, threatening humanity. However, the full-scale war must wait until the end to have the utmost impact. I’m thinking the marine biologist and the clan leader ultimately bond over their common losses of family. The biologist explains that these destructive acts weren’t representative of all humanity, and that the ancient sacrifices occurred centuries ago, urging him to re-evaluate his views on the surface world. This powerful human connection amidst the escalating conflict offers a compelling emotional core.

    I’d be more than happy to direct this and hope that this finds its way into being produced and thank you for taking the time to review this.
    Best Regards, Ayaan.

    SUBJECT: An incredible block buster movie

    Lights, camera, action!!! Editing has always been my passion since I ever started clipping films. I want to sprinkle some more creativity to my films. A way that I can catch my audience in an enchanted world of mystery.

    A type of movie like a BLOCKBUSTER!! An amazing and interesting way to keep audiences entertained for extended periods before it’s time to crunch on another kernel. Although there needs to be major requirements to make such a stunning movie with excellent cgi.

    Our primary need is a substantial collection of fake props. While CGI handles some special effects and artificial skins, we require physical items such as robotic dolls. For instance, if we’re featuring a charged sword, a cardboard stick can serve as an effective prop. Brilliant, eh?

    After finishing filming the movie, let’s slide things into my hands. I will then add all the special effects needed to turn this movie into a brilliant woza!!! I promise I will try every effect and give my best to make this movie a real hit.

    Hollywood movies are usually big hits, right? Lets make this movie the biggest hit, filling in each and every detail required to make this movie highly entertaining and recommended by the internet. The theme could be an alien space movie. We don’ t really have much of those, now do we? Something that’s really uncommon but really amazing sparking it with the brightest light in Hollywood. An alien attack on goblin city.

    Sounds more like a comedy unless it’s an amazing incredible one. And for my consideration for this movie I say that we only need voice actors. This is because I will be dealing with the highly advanced cgi. We’d probably need about 8 voice actors and I will take part in the background music.

    I’ll make it a fun mysterious theme associated with the movie. I’ve got some pretty fun pictures of my head. We are likely to use them if all the crew and executive producers allow them. They’re pretty cheesy to be for real but they would definitely follow the movie theme.

    Thank you for reading my email and I hope you take in considering my idea for this excellent movie idea. If you want any changes made send me an email back. Thank you so much for your time and cooperation with this piece.

    Your sincerely, Ajna!

  5. Dear manager,
    hope you are good.

    I just came up with a good idea to make a new movie called spider-kid.

    First of all the movie will be family friendly. Unlike the MA 15+ spider-man , it’s going to be pg. I thought why not we give the spider-man powers to a 12 year old child. most likely we could see the child being hectic with these super powers which will be hilarious to watch. we could also see how he reacts to villains and criminals.The teen and adult spider-manis popular and kids like the character but when it comes to movies the child will be desperate to watch it but unfortunately the kids can’t watch MA 15 + in cinemas so why not we make it pg by replacing adults by kids so a child won’t be hectic after finding out he can’t watch spider man movies. This marketing strategy will be a a new concept to make a lot of money by letting many children and parents watching.

    It will also show bravery , never giving up and determination to accomplish formidable challenges. It will teach some life lessons.

    The movie will be about a child watching a spider man movie on an odd tv then a electrical microscopic web from the tv hit him giving him a power to shoot webs and stick to walls. He then could save the city while causing a bit of chaos.

  6. Dear movie producer,
    I have an astounding idea, if I do say so myself, that will make your crowds gleam with shock and thrill, and you will receive 5-star-reviews from almost every person watching your movie! Don’t you want that money? I think you do. So here is my idea: Four people discover one gem each, and each gem gives the user a power of one of the four elements!
    Then they go on to fight giant, world-ending entities and mad scientists and more. You can make that last part whatever you want, I haven’t fully planned it out yet. The point is, you are welcome to use this idea as long as you pay me a one-time-fee of $200. It sounds like a scam, but think about it; A puny $200 in exchange for thousands of dollars!
    So many people will pay for tickets, and by the end of a week, you’ll be counting piles and piles of money! It sounds unreal, but I can guarantee that you will have at least $900 by the end of this week. Also, your newest movies haven’t exactly been box office hits, have they?
    So, if you want your business saved, you can use this idea to get back on track as soon as possible. This isn’t just for me; I’m saving your career! So, you might want to get started by making some high-tech CGI. Then just hire some actors and you know, all the other movie stuff. I hope you can use this idea soon.
    Good luck with your business!

  7. Dear Harry,
    I have a fantastic idea for a movie and its going to blow everyone’s mind. It is about a super-intelligent scientist who is secretly a superhero but loses all his power when traveling to Neptune because he was attempting to conquer Sizer of the Blue spot, the beast. He then also becomes very weak but has a plan. He tries to get stronger and stronger and keeps on persisting. He works very hard and after months of training, he becomes a superhero again. He even grows extra power because he still trains extremely hard and gives more than enough power to all the weak people on Earth.

    This potential blockbuster movie is amazing because it is about persistence, sharing and helping people. These three things are the three most important things. It even shows a superhero. Everyone loves superheros. They are smart and super kind.

    Persistence is of immense importance because if we didn’t have persistence, we wouldn’t overcome our challenges and would never learn. If we didn’t have persistence, we would be as smart as we were when we were born.

    Sharing is of terrible importance because if we didn’t share, people wouldn’t like anyone and we would be left on our own. We wouldn’t be happy and we wouldn’t have any friends.

    Helping people is of great importance because failing to help people would mean the person that needs help would fail their task. After failing their task, they won’t help you achieve your task.

    Kindness is of remarkable importance as it makes people feel happy. I f we didn’t show or have kindness, everyone wouldn’t like anyone else and we would have to survive on our own. If we did have kindness, everyone would like you and you would have loads of friends.

    This is why this potential blockbuster movie would be excellent.

    Yours sincerely, Ethan Ong.

  8. Jurassic World: Undead

    To John Tyler

    I am Abhijeet Pol, we have discussed ideas on our new release for Universal Pictures.

    I have got an idea for our company which is continuing our Jurassic franchise. The movie’s name is Jurassic World: Undead. When I mean undead I mean all the villains and heroes come back to life with help from the Ingel technology. They all team together and try to defeat the new Demise Rex. The Demise Rex will be 40 feet tall and 9.8 feet wide, It is a mutated giant with the arms of a T-Rex, head of a Dominus Rex, claws of a Therizinosaurus, legs of Distourtis Rex, and its body will be a robotic metal body which allows the dinosaur to breath flames and survive in harsh conditions. We will bring back the Dominus Rex, Rexy, Indoraptor, Spinosaurus, Gigantasaurus, and the Distortus Rex.

    We will also bring back the people who were not in the Rebirth and put them in, especially Owen and also the rebirth people will still stay. They will guide and help the dinosaurs to get familiar because they are the ones who wanted to assault the Demise Rex. The lore of the Demise rex will be that one of the Ingel people would get fired (his name is Samath) He was the head of Ingel and knows how to make dinosaurs by himself. He wanted to get revenge for the ones who defied him. So then he uses Ingels techniques and creates the ultimate Demise Rex. He has prepared this monstrosity in a hidden cave where no one dares to enter, it is covered with rocks that are as sharp as a hyena’s claw. He died of a heart attack making no one know how he created the Demise Rex. His company name was Glenl, the same letters of Ingel but in a different way. In the middle part of the movie I suggest for all of the people and dinosaurs to unite, they would make a plan and set up an ambush on the Demise Rex.

    Thank you for your inconvenience to listen to my idea for our next movie.
    Sincerely,
    Abhijeet

  10. Subject: The blockbuster movie discussion reply
    Respected Mr. Tim (Head manager of movie productions apartment foundation), I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing in regard for the next movie – Blockbuster and to discuss my progress as well as answering your question about how my plot twist will work and jump into the scenes.
    For my blockbuster movie, I have planned an unexpected plot twist and planned to give flash back on history for young tabby as you saw on Thursday. Tabby will be a lawyer in my story, acting out faith while, in the start, I planned to explain how he became the grand we know today. This will go over his harsh childhood as being a poor adventurist. Throughout the story this character faces difficulties, one being how the killer is not on leash and attempts to kill him. I put this element to create suspense and tension throughout.
    I have also finished preparing for the costumes as I told you in our last meeting and finished our plot. I will love to plan a meeting to let you know in some more detail on this new movie of mine as well as improve on the area that could make it more engaging for my audience. Kind thanks for all your support in the process and allowing to prove myself for the last time while being a part of this Hollywood production. I promise that my new movie won’t make you down. Have a nice break.
    Regards,
    Nakshita Goyal, director of blockbuster

    Title: The Blockbuster Movie Plan

    Dear Executive,
    I have an idea of the new Hollywood blockbuster movie! We can do a movie about a superhero defeating a mad scientist that wants to take over the world. I believe that people will be entertained by my idea.

    According to research, entertainment is vital for your mental health. Entertainment releases chemicals such as dopamine which increases your happiness. I believe being happy is vital because people will do their best when they’re happy. I say they do their best when they’re happy because it stops frustration and saying things about themselves.

    As well as entertainment for the Hollywood blockbuster movie, a moral is important as well because it could teach you life skills you might need in your later life. The moral will be that scientists aren’t always one hundred percent right. In reality it’s usually their closest predictions. Whatever scientists come up with they always need proof. Another moral is that anyone can be a hero. It can be helping your friends.
