Saints Alive!
Idea for a badass action film:
Saints Alive!
It’s a dark and stormy night in Rome, and somewhere deep in the Vatican a religious experiment is going badly wrong…
The world awakes to find that The Pope has accidentally (?) unleashed the Saints… and this time, they’re out for revenge.
Only one man can stand between the Saints and their mad lust for carnage. And – over ninety action splattered minutes – he will.
Imagine epic battles with the biggest names in Saint-dom, each with their own special power and weakness. Picture the scene…
St. Francis of Assisi is commanding armies of birds as he mercilessly destroys all in his path. Our hero is brought to his knees by the constant violent pecking, but somehow finds power within himself at the last moment, and convinces the birds to turn on their former master and shred St. Francis where he stands.
Our hero looks up, shattered but ultimately triumphant as he surveys the many remains of St. Francis, and in his most badass voice delivers the immortal line:
“Make me a channel of your PIECES, Francis.”
Eminently quotable, fantastically merchandiseable and with potential to grow into a blockbuster franchise. Loved by the religous – for its educational value (“I never even knew who St. Therese of Avila was, let alone how incredibly agile she must have been to deliver blows like that”) – and the irreligious alike. It’s sure to be a hit.
Right?
