Movie Idea. Ten people stuck in an elevator?

Question

Yeah sure, why not. You could call it ELEVATOR!
Now just come up with the synopsis.

There's a pregnant woman who's just gone into labour. Her husband is there, but so is the guy who got her pregnant. There's a girl scout selling cookies and a nun.
There's also a serial killer, a senator, an investigative journalist, a hippie chick and a guy with chronic flatulence.

Answer 1

That is such a good movie idea. you should make it a drama between the pregnant women, her husband and the other man. Maybe like have her know that it really isnt her husbands and have her unconfortable. Then have the husband be frantic but so excited that his first born son is being born. And then have the actual father be kind-of confused. Like thinking to him-self he knows that girl from somewhere and then in the course of the movie finally figure it out and totally blab to the husband but the father doesnt know that that is her husband. then in the beginning of the movie haev them all have a purpose of being in that elevator. like have it in a huge mall. Like have the baby's actual father be a sells person for a cellular phone company. And have the husband and pregnant wife be shopping for last minute baby things like dipers,clothes, etc. Have the Girl Scout be selling cookies but she got lost so shes freaking out. So in the elevator have her asking everyone if they have seen her troup leader so something like that. I dunno what you could do for the nun. And maybe it would be to contiversal. The serial killer might be a little to much to but i dunno. For the senator you could have them making a speech and they have to get to the second floor so something. And in the elevator he/she could be like handing out flyers and buttons and maybe even be rehearsing her speech. I like the journalist idea. She could be covering the birth and all the drama you could even have it so it looked liek it was her taping the movie. The hippie could be trying to deliever the babyanda get the good energys flowing. Maybe she was getting incense at a store in the mall. And you could make some moments funny with the person with bad gas. And have the hippie trying to help him out in taking all the "bad" energy out and also trying to mask the smell with the incence. I dunno it sound like you got a good starting point and theres some ideas. Good Luck on the movie and if it ever comes out in the theaters count on me coming.

Answer 2

there had to be snakes on the elevator so you could have it be called snakes on an elevator with samuel l jackson as the serial killer so he can say get these motherf***ing snakes off this motherf***ing elevator. that would have even lower box office ratings than snakes on a plane. actually it would be kind of cool if the serial killer had a gun and was holding them all hostage and had stopped the elevator. then it goes into flashbacks of why all of those people happened to be on the elevator, it would end in a huge gunfight and the people end up getting off the elevator in one peice. they would add scenes of dialouge in the elevator between flashbacks, as the serial killer talks to each person it goes over how all of the people are connected in some way, if they were related or had seen eachother before, and each person has a secret that they are keeping, the serial killer knows each of them has a secret and decides to turn it into a game of some sort. it turns out in the end that the killer really was not the one who planned it but really it was an outside source, kind of like the movie phonebooth where the guy like walks up to him in the end and basically says hes still out there. the guy who really planned it would walk through the crowded lobby where the gun fight had taken place, it would actually be a cool movie if you made it correctly with the right kind of action and have flashbacks and stuff. of course you would have to make the title a bit more catchy, a movie named elevator would make me think my god, what has the world come to, another movie with a bad title. Have you seen some movie titles, here are examples, keep in mind these are actual movies.
The Lemon Grove Kids Meet the Green Grasshopper and the Vampire Lady from Outer Space
Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D
I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Hung Her on a Meat Hook, and Now I Have a Three-Picture Deal at Disney
The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies
I might put it with those movies if it was called elevator, somethings in this world are to funny.

threat a million: genuinely each and every man or woman interior the elevator is a member of a tonteen. A tonteen is a primitive coverage scheme the position all the individuals placed funds right into a pool, held, frequently through a nil.33 party. The very last surviving member of the tonteen receives all the money. Who receives off the elevator alive? Possibliity 2: you've 3 divorced married couples who separated with various stages of hatred and conflict. The very last man or woman is a wedding ceremony counselor attempting to get domicile after a tough day on the place of work, and now he has to pacify six rabid cats in a burlap sack. threat 3: blend possibilities one and a pair of so as that genuinely each and every man or woman is both attempting to surrepticiously kill some different person for the money or basically because they hate their ex. There are various possibilities for plot twists with reference to the money and the marriage counselor. threat 4: The 7 human beings basically imagine they are strangers. Their lives were subtly interrelated for years, though no man or woman has standard about it. show the interrelations gradually through flashbacks. It seems that the unifying rigidity between all of them (would not actual be counted what it really is) has delivered them mutually to be stuck interior the elevator and now all conflicts will one way or the different be resolved. Violence and sex are popular approaches for resolving differences in video clips. threat 5: the elevator has stopped because genuinely each and every man or woman outdoors has been killed in a large image voltaic flare, knocking the flexibility out. between the elevator's inhabitants became listening to the information on his Ipod's FM receiver at the same time as it occurred, so he's the basically one interior the elevator who's conscious, for particular, what occurred. something else of the movie will be a psych drama about countless the elevator's inhabitants (microcosm of society) operating through the various states of trauma (denial, rage, attractiveness, etc.) until eventually they are in a position to rescue themselves and locate out what's really waiting outdoors. All of those possibilities can exceptionally a lot be blended and coupled. regardless of you do, do not do the only the position evidently genuinely each and every man or woman interior the elevator has been useless for the full movie, yet did not recognize it until eventually the perfect scene. that would want to easily sooo suck.

Answer 4

I don't know if you could make a whole movie out of it,maybe a sub plot to a movie.
The characters that you described probably would be believable realistically in a big city hospital where a sudden power outage had just taken place.
I also would throw in a janitor or someone who you would never expect to be the hero in your movie. A guy that most people would not even notice or pay attention to,but turns out to be the super hero that saves the day,perhaps having experience in mechanical or electrical devices,or computers...like a "geek" in disguise..a "George Plimpton" character maybe.

Answer 5

sounds interesting, but it could get old fast, unless you made a large part of the movie mostly flashbacks to show how all of the people in the elevator are related in some way (not family, I mean). Even if it just be the girlscout passing the seriel killer on her way to someone's house... they all have seperate stories that brought them to the elevator.

Answer 6

Take a lead from Twelve Angry Men - you'll need lots of character development and an intriguing story line for conflict.

Answer 7

make it so it's kind of existentialist.
during the course of the movie everybody reaches a stage of redemption and confesses their sins and promise to give up the ways of the past and open a new page of their life.
then the whole elevator loses control and crashes, everybody dies.
