What is the storyline?

George Bates appears to be a

normal man to anyone living outside
of his small home in Pennsylvania,
but his wife sees a completely
different man. Forbidden to leave
the house, Jessica spends her days
doing near to nothing. George keeps
her locked away from friends and
family and won’t even allow her to
take a phone call from her worried
brother.
A more in depth look
into the movie
George Bates doesn’t let Jessica go anywhere. No one has seen Jessica for 6 months.
Leonard, Jessica’s brother, starts to get a bit worried after he tried to call her to see if
she was going to come to their mother's birthday party and George answers to tell
him that they both wouldn’t be there. Leonard hasn’t even heard her voice for 6
months. After the call ends, he makes another phone call to his best mate, Max. Max
is a detective and after a bit of convincing he sends one of his employees, James over.
James scopes the place out and when George leaves the house he knocks on the
door. No answer so he tries to look through the windows, but they are all covered up.
Just as he is about to give up hope George returns to the house. He catches James
but instead of telling him to go away he invites him into his house. After a little hello
James asks if he could meet George’s wife. He hesitantly says yes and goes upstairs to
get her. While he is upstairs James makes a phone call to Max. He tells him that there
is nothing to worry about and that George seems like a regular bloke. Just before he
hangs up the phone however, James gets attacked by George and killed. Max hears
this from the other end of the phone and is shocked. The next day, Max goes down to
the house, waits for George to leave and kicks into action. He leaps over the back
gate and investigates the house from the outside. After finding no way to get in he
looks around and notices the old beaten down shed. He slowly walks over to it and
breaks the padlock on the door. He enters and notices an awful stench. He notices a
large bulge at the back of the shed underneath a blanket. He removes it and sees
James dead body. He steps back in shock and as he does so, he knocks over a wooden
board. Behind that board is Jessica's rotting corpse. She had been dead for 6 months
and what we saw of her was just a figment of George’s imagination. He actually killed
her 6 months ago after getting into an argument because Jessica was flirting with
another guy at a party they hosted.
My cast:

George Bates: Leonardo DiCaprio

George is a complete psycho. He is

overprotective and hates when his
wife even talks to another man.

DiCaprio has won a countless

amount of awards and is a brilliant
actor who can change character in
a heartbeat. His work in shutter
island is what made me want him.
Jessica Bates: Anne Hathaway

Jessica is a kind quite girl. Very rarely

gets into any kind of trouble. She is
also a strong and independent
woman who doesn’t need a man to
tell her what to do.

Anne Hathaway has won 2 Oscars

and her innocent appearance will fit
the character really well. She will be
compelling for the audience.
Leonard Cooper: Tobey Maguire

Leonard is very protective of his

sister. He is caring and loving. At
the end of the film, we see his
angry side come out when he finds
out about his sister.

Tobey Maguire’s film, Brothers,

shows his temper and his range in
acting very well.
Max Skip: Adam Driver

Max is a textbook example of an

American detective. Action heavy
and not bad with a gun when he
needs to use it. He does his job and
is very good at it.

Adam Driver also plays a detective in

Blackkklansman. He plays this
character the exact way I see Max in
my film.
Other members
of the team:
Steven Spielberg: Multi award winning director. Mainly
known for his suspenseful films. He knows how to keep
the audience on the edge of their seat.

John Williams: One of the best composers in movie

history. He has worked with Spielberg on several movies
including Jaws which has a famous suspenseful theme.
