Pitch Sheet BOOK TITLE: All Quiet On The Western Front GENRE: Possibly Historical or Action/Adventure, with a little comedy TIME PERIOD: During a zombie outbreak, so beyond 2020 LOCATION(S): Possibly in the United States, in a studio. But, if I had to go overseas it would be somewhere were WWI took place, like Germany or England TARGET MARKET/DEMOGRAPHIC FOCUS: I would like to reach is young to old, anyone who wants to see it. I think that the old people would find it interesting because they could learn something they never knew a lot about and the younger kids could like because they could learn something. I think the kids would learn the most because they could probably grasp the concept of the movie quicker than some of the adults. CAST: Pick at least 5 characters from your novel and suggest possible casting choices. You may suggest friends from school, movie/television/music celebrities, professional athletes, etc Paul- Dave Mustaine from Megadeth Katzinsky- Kerry King from Slayer Kemmerich- Robert Pattinson from Twilight Himmelstoss- Lars Ulrich from Metallica Detering- Dirk Nowitzki from the Dallas Mavericks LOGLINE:
The only way that it will catch the audience attention is to have a load of explosions. The poster will say “THIS MOVIE WILL BLOW YOUR MIND” SYNOPSIS: The plot is that there is this man name Paul Baumer and it’s the year 2024 and a zombie outbreak happens and there are 5 characters: Paul Baumer, a 19 year old who is going off to college soon and wants to be in the military. Kemmerich, everybody calls him by his last name because no one knows his first name. Katzinsky, a rocker who’s favorite bands are Slayer (note the irony), Megadeth, Metallica, etc. Himmelstoss, a total stick in the mud who’s all work and no play, he considers himself the leader, but no one wants him to be the leader, and Detering, a person who keeps to himself and so there’s a mystery behind him and so all 4 are trying to figure him out. Some of the major themes are humanity, love, fighting, and etc. One of the main points is going to be Human Nature; the zombies are going to represent how we as humans can be vicious, when tempted. RELEVANCE: The issues that are being explored are relevant because it would be relevant to the conspiracy theorists that a zombie outbreak will happen and how we can fight it. This is important for people to watch because if this did ever did happen, they can learn how to fight a zombie( how to kill one, where you would be save, how set up a proper zombie plan, other than just stand out in a hoard and fight till the death, and etc.) This is also political and social because the government would keep cases of zombie outbreaks/or a zombie accident secret, so that the people would never find out about it. This is related to WWI and WWII because in a nutshell they are fighting over territory, land, and survival. You wouldn’t be able to talk to them because zombies are unreasonable and unlike Vietnam, there will be no one protesting… more than likely they’ll be dead.
