Hanks, too expensive...too much bullshit goes along with someone that big...I say we go John Stamos and instead of a werewolf he's a frankenstein, our research has shown that the 15-21 age bracket is more willing to buy frankenstein merch than werewolf merch....don't know why that is but that's what it is...I'm gonna see a rewrite on that script by tommorrow and we'll see where we stand...thanks for coming in...

Ok.

Two old guys are walking the appalachian trail. They did it once back in 47 when they left the army. They realise that the world has changed so much since they last walked this great walk. They also realise they are very old. They are determined to do this. For the guys they left behind in Guadacanal.
They come across weekend walkers, black bears, foxy grad students. The weather turns bad and it's a fight for life. Lots of flashbacks of lovers, war images and grandchildren who they miss. They get to the nearest town. Press get involved. To everyone's dismay, they carry on the next thousand miles. One of them dies on the way. Long speech about friends and love before he passes away. The remaining man hobbles the rest of the way. Barely makes it. When he does, joyous scenes. Lots of flag waving. His grandchildren run at him in slow motion. People walk from the theater in tears.

Green light. Fast tracking this one.
The only thing is, we'd really be more comfortable if you changed the ages of the main characters to teenagers...we've found that audiences respond better to younger characters. We are also going to need someone chasing the characters, trying to kill them..also a love interest for each.
Other than those small changes it's perfect, exactally what we are looking for.

This is my movie pitch:

Penelope Cruz plays a stripper. A prolific stripper. All day and all night she strips... She's good at it. Maybe the best?! who know's. But she can't help it. And... other stuff happens.

I like, I like.....I am correct in assuming she'd be a lesbian also?

#pulls up a chair, turns it around and sits down#
How about this?

He was a cop, and good at his job. But then he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops - gone bad. Cops who tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands. An outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter - a RENEGADE!

I'm thinking low budget, no name actors, late-90s feel to it..
