Why this movie would be successful?
Sometimes you have to look at it from a business point of view. What do people nowadays want to watch? What movies stick into people's mind and never being forgotten? I think it is comedy. The thought of having an adventure, science fiction movie with also comedy is priceless. Also this movie isn't like most movies. Movies that are science fiction tend to be boring. So if it was comedy more people would like science fiction and the overview of science fiction won't be as terrible. One last point is that people love Kevin Hart films so if he is in the film then more people would want to watch this movie. The whole movie would be comical and funny. It is a journey that brings people closer together and have a fun time. The main reason why I love this film to become real is that I believe that people would say " What a film!" or " That was so funny!" after they watch this movie!

  1. Hi Hussein
    I really liked your strong pitch, well done! Your group worked well together although you contributed the most to the actual pitch so maybe next time ensure that everyone contributes.
    WWW- Your film idea is original and I like the fact that you have recognised the need to tap into Kevin Hart's current popularity as a crowd pleaser. I liked the hybrid genres. You have also shown exactly how you split up your budget.
    EBI- You could have gone into more detail to justify WHY you have spent in the areas where you did rather than talking more generally about its success.
