Superhero genre pitch


THE OUTCASTS

 PITCH.

 

Let me set the scene, it’s the year 3500 in New York. Hovercrafts roam the skies the streets are no longer the place of transport. They are merely a place of high sky silver skyscrapers thousands of stories high and between them lies forbidden “footpaths “,( because no one walks in the year 3500 why would you when you can simply beam thousands of kilometres without breaking a sweat) so the only mere life form that lives there is the outcasts of society. They live in wasteland or near the small ancient statue of a blue woman on the outskirt of town.

In one of the man made shelters next to the ancient statue lies a young boy around the age of 18-23 lying staring at the sky named Davey Jones kicked out of his apartment  as a young boy because he didn’t comply with the regulations of the new government in New York “kemtech”, they control  the town’s electricity it’s electronic appliances all the automobiles. Davy believed that kemtech run too much of his life and he saw them as an enemy but he didn’t know why he just had a gut feeling. But zemtech  didn’t care about helping all Americans make their life easier it was a scam all by the planet zong  just so they could take over America and the galaxy. Kemtech already has most of Europe in its grasp but no one had noticed or batted an eyelid at their movements.  But why was Davey told?  Because he was visited by Starman who told him of the planet Zong and their plans to rid the galaxy of humans and all other life forms apart from the rapoids who will reign supreme. Starman had escaped the planet mars just before   the rapoids had taken it. But why did he visit Davey? Because Starman knew of the future his life form had already invented time machines and he’d seen the day that Davey lead the army that would destroy the planet zong and all the evil rapoids.

 But there was one problem Starman knew he couldn’t take on the rapoids himself and he knew Davey was the only one with the willpower, strength and determination to take on the rapoids. But after being homeless for more than 4 years most of that was gone he was a young scruffy boy who barely had the willpower to get up for water on a morning . So Starman has to help him regain his stong abilities by going forward in time and showing him the day that kemtech destroy the human world. This regains his courage and he gains a team of “outcasts “ from the streets and him and Starman make superhero suits for them all (which have a super power built in by Starmans un natural ability but everyone has a different specialiy)   and they make a team called the outcasts consisting of “Starman” (is the thinker he knows how to destroy the rapoids) ( “The genie”(can summon lightning)  “Davy Jones” (leads the team)   Galactic Girl” ( can seduce the gaurds and take them out ) and “ The big unit” ( Can smash through anything ). Using their superpowers they can destroy the evil rapoids.

  1. This sounds like an absolutely crazy film (which I don't think is a particularly bad thing, considering the genre). You've clearly got quite into the whole "origin" idea of a superhero movie, which demonstrates good genre awareness. Very good!
