THRILLER IDEA

Anne-Marie Dames

PLOT
This is a story of two men (one whom has a wife and is a successful businessman and the other being unemployed and alone with social problems) in two parallel universes. These, one day collide and both men are haunted by each others lives. Instead of seeing himself in the mirror he sees the other mans mistake or in the other case success. They are the only people in their lives who know there is a parallel world which is much harsher or more successful than their own. The hunt for these men begin to stop them from revealing the truth. They are followed by a femme fatale who is the same in both worlds and plans to stop them.

INSPIRATION AND GENRE

The inspiration for this idea came from the novel Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and also another known thriller movie, Face/Of f. These plots are all related with one of the media conventions which linked to double identity. Also Inception through the dreams and dif ferent things going on at the same time. The sub-genre will be psychological and action.

PROTAGONISTS
The protagonists will be male conforming to our audience research stating that mostly males like thriller films and therefore we want the audience to empathise with the character. It will be a mainly male cast with the exception of a femme fatale trying to turn the protagonists out of there way. Also the wife of one of the men.

LOCATION
The location that I would like to use is one house where we see both men live, confusing the audience.
