Congratulations, you, a famous producer, have just bought the rights to Battleborn. It didn’t cost a lot, to be honest, but hey, you see a bright future for this series - but how exactly you go about creating Battleborn into a movie or TV series is entirely up to you.
I’ve created a template below for a bit of fun. You can manipulate this template if you want, but I was curious as what you would do with this series if you had a chance. Do you envision it as a franchise or perhaps as something else?
You can choose either a MOVIE TEMPLATE or a TV TEMPLATE.
You envision it as a movie:
[quote]Battleborn Series: Movie
Title:
Prequel, Sequel or Reboot?:
Franchise?
(Is it a one-off or a franchise?)
Animation or Live Action?
Your Story Idea:
Director(s):
Writer(s):
Composer:
Who’s the Protagonist?
(Every film needs a hero. What Battleborn would you focus your film on? Remember, by default, your hero is being played by Tom Green. You don’t want Tom Green as your hero, now do you?)
Casting the Protagonist:
(Tom Green, folks. You might want to change that.)
Casting Rendain:
Love Interest (OPTIONAL):
(You might want to give your Protagonist a snuggle-partner/nest partner.)
Casting the Battleborn (OPTIONAL):
(You might have a lot of time on your hands - like a lot of time - and you might want to dabble in casting the Battleborn.)
The Film’s Tagline:
Trailer Moment(s)/Biggest Selling Point:
(A “trailer moment” is a part (or parts) of a film Marketing will use to include in the trailer. They’re the parts of the film that will sell the film to the masses.)
Imagine the Teaser (OPTIONAL):
(Teasers are hyped more now than actual trailers. If you have an idea what a 40-second/1-minute long teaser would look like for your film, include it here.)
When Would You Release the Film?:
(Release it in January/February, and it’ll probably be dead by May. Release it over the Summer if you feel like it’ll be a Blockbuster that can stand against your average Superhero film or release it in the prestige “Oscar Season”, near the end of the year, if you believe it has a chance of making it into the Oscars.)
Budget:
(How much would you want to spend on your film?)
Tie-in Merchandise (OPTIONAL):
(Merch = tonnes of money.)
Other Stuff:
(Yeah, I’m lazy. You might want to be super creative and add more, which you can do right here.)[/quote]
You envision it as a TV series:
[quote]Battleborn Series: TV Series
Title:
Long-lasting TV series or Miniseries?
Distributor/Channel:
(Allow Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/Hooters to release it online or allow a channel like HBO/Showtime/Cinemax etc to show it?)
Animation or Live Action?
Your Storyline:
How Many Episodes?
(This differs entirely how you approach your series.)
Genre:
(You might play this straight, or go a completely different route, like Horror or Comedy for example.)
Director(s):
Writer(s):
Composer:
The Opening Title (OPTIONAL):
(Be creative.)
Song That Plays Over Opening Credits:
(“What Is Love” for example.)
Who’s the Protagonist?
(Who is your starring Battleborn?)
Casting the Protagonist:
(Tom Green really needs some work, folks. He’s the default hero.)
Casting Rendain:
Casting the Battleborn (OPTIONAL):
(Who would you cast as the Battleborn?)
The Show’s Tagline:
Imagine the Teaser (OPTIONAL):
(Teasers are hyped more now than actual trailers. If you have an idea what a 40-second/1-minute long teaser would look like for your film, include it here.)
