Where can I submit ideas?

Postby Spark Light » Sun Jul 29, 2007 10:34 am

I have come up with a lot of ideas and I think I've finally solved how to do a lot of the awkward TF features that they shyed away from in the first movie that will please everyone when it makes it to the big screen.

I know there's often a problem with soliciting and these things, but is there any way I can get this to the guys in charge? I think even after it being a box office success, the mediocore critical reviews and Hasbro's displeasure with some of the decisions may push them into listening.

I'm thinking of writing the "Bones" of a script, a basic screenplay, too.

well i guess you would send it to the movie studio that made it...but trust me they will not take any script written by a random person. they wire ppl to write them. heck even if a persons script isnt taken they still get paid to write them. so unless its ur job there gonna prob toss it sorry ...

I know for things like media tie-in novels that the studo selects a publisher who then seeks out and asks a certain writer to take on projects.

For screenplays and teleplays, if you're going to stand a chance, you need to at least have an agent, and even then, it's not likely that your ideas will be shopped to the big fish.

This guy can be a jerk, but he knows the ins and outs of these situations and can give you the straight information.

I won't say it's impossible... but at the very least, you'd probably need an agent to market the screenplay for you. An agent could at least get a foot in the door and give you a decent shot at having the script read. With a level playing field, I really do believe talent would trump everything else in the end... but it's really danged hard for a first time screenwriter to level that field. Not to say it can't be done... plenty of writers have written a screenplay that just knocks people out, and gotten in Hollywood that way... but it would be an uphill battle, to be sure. There's even a good chance they'd send an unsolicited screenplay back unopened, as doing otherwise might open them up to a lawsuit down the road.

Of course, one thing that COULD help would be getting fandom support. I'm not sure that would be a guarantee of anything happening, but getting the fan community behind a fan script would be helpful. But the problem with that is, to do so, the script would have to be posted online. And who's going to buy something that's already been available for free? So, yeah... it would be tough.

At the same time, the thought's kept coming to me to try and do something as well, so I'm hardly one to completely discourage you. Who knows what might happen?
