Author's note: All of these are plot synopses of real movies in varying stages of development. I didn't make them up.
Author's note 2: Well, okay, I made ONE of them up. See if you can guess which one.
"Welcome to Woop Woop"
Teddy is an irresistible New York conman who flees to Australia hoping to escape his troubles -- and winds up with more of them that he could have imagined.
When Teddy meets a sexy, hitchhiking Aussie tomboy named Angie, he winds up a prisoner in the remote town of Woop Woop -- a bizarre Outback empire run by the iron-fisted Daddy-O, whose rules include the absolute insistence that the local radio station and movie theater play only "Rogers & Hammerstein" musicals and that no one, including the reluctant groom, who enters Woop Woop can ever leave.
"You've Got Mail"
Kathleen Kelly owns a children's bookstore in New York City. It is a small but profitable labor of love -- until Foxbooks, a mega-chain of super-sized bookstores, begins building across the street. Joe Fox, an executive with the family-owned firm, is directly responsible for this particular branch. Kathleen despises Joe and everything he seems to stand for because the future of her very livelihood is in doubt. When Kathleen and Joe aren't working in their bookstores, they're logged onto their respective computers where they've each met a wonderful new friend. No one else is aware of their intimate, anonymous electronic conversations that begin with the magic words 'you've got mail'.
Little do Kathleen and Joe know that they're writing to each other.
"Godzilla"
She's the daughter of top corporate executives; he's the son of factory workers. They meet and fall in love in Tokyo, just before Godzilla strikes. Following in the footsteps of megahit Titanic, this heartwrenching tearjerker disaster movie has something for everyone: A touching tale of forbidden love and a humongous lizard who likes to chew on skyscrapers.
"Alien Love Triangle"
This time the aliens come to earth not to conquer, but to learn about the birds and the bees. Courtney Cox plays the alien of the title. Kenneth Branagh plays her earthling husband who finds out some bad news and some bad news. The bad news is that his wife is an alien; the other bad news is that his wife is an alien male. Don't you hate it when that happens?
Baby Geniuses
All babies are born knowing the "secrets of the universe" and with the ability to speak with each other. What adults hear as baby-talk is actually sophisticated conversation. But when babies reach two years old and begin to speak our language in full sentences, they "cross over"-- forgetting their secret language and becoming "one of us."
In BABY GENIUSES, Dr. Elena Kinder is an intelligent, scheming and wildly ambitious woman. She heads BABYCO, the world's largest corporation that manufactures products for babies. However, what the public does not know is that she also funds a secret research lab, together with her partner in crime, Dr. Heap, devoted solely to cracking the code to this special baby language which she is sure does exist. It will mean enormous profit and power if she is the first to do it. But when Sly, the best and brightest of these baby geniuses, escapes from the secret lab into the outside world, Drs. Kinder and Heap have to get him back before he blows the lid off of their secret forever. Sly organizes the babies in the outside world to invade the secret lab in order to free the baby geniuses and bring down Dr. Kinder's evil empire.
"Rush Hour"
When a Chinese Ambassador's daughter is kidnapped, a lowly FBI agent is assigned to keep the ambassador's security chief out of the situation -- except that they're chasing the kidnappers in the middle of the Los Angeles rush hour commute...on the eve of a long weekend. Yikes!
"Holy Man"
Eddie Murphy pulls out all the laugh stops and delivers another comedy home run. In this sharp-edged, high-octane comedic look at life, love, and television home shopping, Murphy is an inspirational televangelist who hilariously proves his message -- that, in today's world, shopping by television can be a religious experience. Only Eddie could so completely become this over-the-top marketing genius who takes a home shopping broadcasting company -- and the country -- by storm.
