Hmmm... Curious...


(This was the best rights-free image I could find!)


A while back Ryan asked me to come up with 10 premises. So I did.
I think they we were meant to pick one or two to work on, but nothing ever came of it. Anyway I found them this morning and here they are.

You can be the judge - if you think any of them are worth pursuing let us know!

1. Around the world, drawings of spiders start appearing on military bases and government buildings. Nobody pays much attention until the buildings start disappearing
2. An American oil rig worker and a Filipino school receptionist have an arranged marriage of convenience, until both their pasts come back to haunt them
3. A courier has 7 hours to deliver an organ transplant, but is unknowlingly being pursued by two parties – one desperate for him to fail to deliver, the other desperate for him to succeed.
4. An aging rockstar builds a bomb to detonate at one of his concerts thinking if he survives, the publicity will reinvigorate his career, and if he dies, well it’s been a good run. When he goes to place it, he finds another bomb already in place.
5. The PA to a billionaire is found murdered. Everyone is a suspect and everyone has a motive. Only the body disappears and there is no evidence a crime was ever committed. With no leads the police have to drop the case, until all the suspects start dying one by one.
6. A prince unexpectedly comes to power in the richest kingdom in the land. Only he is really a spy for a neighbouring power. He is now uncertain where his loyalties lie when a new horde threatens both kingdoms. It is further complicated when he discovers the horde’s leader is his older brother and true heir to the throne.
7. Melanie rarely dreams, but when she does they come true. Though disturbing at first, she gradually grew used to it, until she realised she could control her dreams…
8. A criminal mastermind plots the greatest caper of her career to date. The only thing holding him back is her age – she’s 5.
9. An incompetent weather girl is taken hostage by mistake. During her capture she discovers her calling in life – something she never would have expected
10. A writer/editor was tasked with coming up with 10 premises. He only manages 9 until the 10th one proves eerily familiar...
