The Art of the Pitch

We've all heard the stories about how movie ideas are "pitched" in the boardrooms of Hollywood.

Sometimes the person doing the pitching has two minutes to summarize the movie's plots and selling points:

"Donald O'Connor and a talking mule have wacky misadventures in a haunted house and uncover a nest of Nazis!"


Sometimes they have a few seconds to spit out a phrase:

"Jim Carrey - Animal Orifices!"

Now it appears all one has to do is spit out the title of a previously existing entertainment entity and just add two words to the end of it:

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS - THE MUSICAL

THE PRODUCERS - THE MUSICAL

HAIRSPRAY - THE MUSICAL

So, here are a few ideas I'd like to pitch:

BOWERY BOYS - THE MUSICAL

HARVEST OF SHAME - THE MUSICAL

SNAKES ON A PLANE - THE MUSICAL

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL - THE MUSICAL

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 - THE MUSICAL

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 - THE MUSICAL - THE MUSICAL

Another "sure-fire" pitch technique appears to be taking something and adding "THE MOVE" to the end of the title: e.g. JACKASS - THE MOVIE.

So...

CAP'N CRUNCH - THE MOVIE

QWERTYUIOP - THE MOVIE

CHOCOLATE MILK - THE MOVIE

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 - THE MUSICAL - THE MUSICAL - THE MOVIE

C'mon, gang, let's be Hollywood producers. Pitch me your ideas!
