Since Ouija, a
board game, has now been made into a movie, it’s becoming pretty clear that
lots of common household objects now can and should be made into films.
You might think
that the stunning failure of the movie version of the classic game Battleship would
have served as a sort of a cautionary tale, but, guess not.
Probably there
are lots of folks who keep remembering how successful those darn Transformers
flicks turned out to be, and those were based on toys.
So just in case
there’s someone out there looking to take a chance on a great idea for a movie
about an inanimate object, here are my pitches:
Glade Scented Candles
I don’t know I if
you’re aware of this, but these candles are, and I quote, “Inspired by the best
feelings in the world.” The best feelings…IN THE WORLD. That’s hard to argue
with. And then we have the drama of the multi-layer candle: one candle. Two
smells. It’s pretty epic. Maybe this film could finally be the one that brings
smell-o-vision to the multiplex.
Pumpkin Spice
Lattes
This film has
holiday classic written all over it. And, obviously, some smell-o-vision, as
well as cross promotional tie-in possibilities.
Wite-Out
This may seem
like a harmless little item sitting in your desk drawer. But consider the sheer
power. Once something is written, it’s
pretty much there forever, unless you apply WITE-OUT. What if the power of
WITE-OUT spread…what if feelings could be erased…or thoughts? The very fabric
of reality is pretty much in danger.
This idea is
gold. Well, it’s white, but you get
the idea.
A Waffle Iron
This isn’t really a dramatic movie…just more like comfort food for the eyes and
ears, perfect for that movie-release dry spell that hits right around January.
Better yet, go straight for the taste buds and just scrap the whole filming-the-movie part, get a bunch of waffle
irons, and have a waffle feast right there in the theater. I, for one, will buy
a ticket to that show every time.
