Recently posted an fb thing of joke movie pitches. I thought I'd share here and also encourage anyone to post some fake pitches of their own. It's fun!



A Cigar for Mr Purington:

this is a movie that takes place in in colonial india in the late 1800s. An aged well-mustached british officer stands in front of a desk frowning pensively as he receivs telegram after telegram. Finally, 90 minutes later, he receives a telegram that makes him sigh in relief. 'To mr purington!" he says, and lights a cigar


Ghost Virus:

This is a movie where everyone gets a virus that turns them into ghosts and guess what the 'virus' is mortality itself


Hot Dog Cart

This is a movie about a hedge fund manager whose wife divorces him on account of shes a Leftist and didnt know what hedge funds were when she married him. Heartbroken and lost he decides to start a hot dog cart. Subjected daily to humiliation and 'The precarity of work under late capitalism' he decides to start a hot dog cart union and bring them all the way to the world series. When the leftist umpire at the world series tries to explain that unions are less about winning sports championships and more about class solidarity, he says 'yeah right tough guy'
