Ha ha, genius! Lethal Tender sounds like a Bruce Willis/Sam Jackson winner complete with tagline - 'Money Can't Buy You Life'. And what on earth was the plot to Amish Thunder??

I'm sad that you didn't pitch IRA Zombies, I'd love to hear some plot details on that one! If I'm ever in a position of influence in Hollywood, Chris, I'll be selling it to Spielberg for ya.

Like the man said, the plot doesn't matter! Genius!

Type in IRA Zombies into the search button on this very site and you should find some plot details. I didn't pitch it because I decided to focus on four other projects - IRA Zombies will have its day. And let's not forget that it too, like Lethal Tender and Break Off, forms part of a trilogy.

The plot to Amish Thunder is demented. That's all you need to know.

Oh, and the full title of the movie at the bottom is actually Upgrade 2: Holding Pattern: Unlandable: With Carl Weathers.

Just wanted to clear that up.

Yeah... James pointed this out to me yesterday. No matter - there have been many instances in movie history of movies using the same name. Jurassic Park shares its name with a 1932 Austrian movie.

The plot of our Lethal Tender has nothing to do with Busey's Lethal Tender. On the other hand, we will be approaching Busey to star.
