Film Pitch Homework

Homework- Chuck Norris vs the Martians.

Logline- One washed up action star will make the comeback of a lifetime when the safety of the galaxy is threatened by an evil race of red martians and the world turns to him as the only one who can save it, aswell as finally believeing in himself and where his heart lies between two women.

Pitch-
Chuck Norris vs. the Martians is an all new action comedy that general audiences will love for its fun action and crude humour. The film will star households names such as Ben Stiller in the lead role, as well as Seth Rogen   and Megan Fox . The plot leaves the story open to potentially turn this film into a franchise, with various chances for at least a two more sequels. The film allows for various tie- ins in media such as video games and in toys. The film would ideally be directed by Jon Favreau who has clearly shown in the past that he is adept at directing action with comedic elements in the Iron Man films, as well as full blown comedies such as Elf with Will Ferrel. The film would be made on a modest budget of $150 million, and by being released in the summer on a 12A/ PG-13  rating would maximise viewership with kids and adults. The film could be shot at the salt flats in Utah and Britain’s Pinewood Studios for the Mars sequences and we could film on location in Manhattan for the scenes in New York City. The film would need a combination of costumes and make up to create the Martian characters, and cgi would need to be used to make some of the film sequences involving Martian landscapes and spaceships.
