A few months ago I thought of an interesting concept for a movie idea. I mean, it's far from original per se, but I believe it hasn't been truly replicated like this. The idea is sort of a modern day musical. The songs being popular songs by the artists of the day. I have placed my Mp3 player on random and started just listening, writing down song by song, making the movie up as each next song continues the plot line.
I currently have nine songs, out of the twelve to fourteen I would like.
The current plot runs as so...
Trevor Campton, a thirty-something business man who is at the end of his rope, tries desperately to make over his life. His love life is non existent as he explains in his song "Paralyzer" by Finger Eleven. He almost feels his life getting better as he reaches for a new promotion, but is quickly destroyed by a younger businessman. He goes crazy in his song "Brooklyn is Burning" by Head Automatica and explains that he is quitting his thankless job for something better.
He moves Los Angeles to make a better life for himself. However, Hollywood is experiencing a change. A rising revolution, lead by Derek Valdesk, is taking place to destroy the current Hollywood movie industry, saying it is corrupting the American public, as explained in his song "Good People" by Jack Johnson.
Trevor, not involved in the war in Hollywood, falls deeply in lust with Leah Mayor, the twenty-five year old Hollywood 'it' girl ((she sings "Glow" by Nelly Furtado)), when she tries to avoid the paparazzi. They start to hang out, out of the public eye, for a few days. They share everything about each other. She tells him about her lonely child life as the younger sister of another Hollywood 'it' girl in the song "Shadow" by Ashlee Simpson. He explains how he truly feels in "I Only Wanna Be with You" by Hootie and the Blowfish.
As rumors of their love start to appear in the tabloids, Trevor becomes famous for his apparent relationship with Leah. Rex Talsdak, a middle-aged multimillionaire Hollywood producer, tracks him down and strikes a deal with him. Rex wants to use Trevor as a way to calm the storm with Derek. As Trevor busies himself with work, Leah becomes jeleous in her own way as she explain in her song "Fell in Love with a Boy" by Joss Stone.
Trevor meets Derek for the first time, in order to get some information for Rex. As Trevor enters the world of Derek Valdesk. The latter man sings "Slow Cheetah" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. They argue about Hollywood lifestyle.
Leah, upset after breaking up with Trevor, sings the song "Littlest Things" by Lily Allen...
There is much more to come... as that was my 9th song
