Rarely do us ordinary people get to see what it’s like when a movie is being pitched to a studio. Pixelated Boat shows it can be done in public, on Twitter.
1. When you have a great movie idea, why bother trying to get a meeting, right?
Hello @netflix. I’ve written a script for a scary movie you could make for Halloween. It’s called “Jetpack Dracula”. Let’s make it happen. pic.twitter.com/hRC79b42Kv

2. But wait, there’s more.
Now, I know what @netflix is thinking: “This is great, but does it have franchise potential?” Don’t worry, I’ve already written a sequel: pic.twitter.com/X7Sc6VZCwS

3. And that makes it three.
I’ve now completed the trilogy. Part 3 recapitulates the themes of the original while showing how the characters have grown over the series: pic.twitter.com/7nWbrveXvK

4. Some fellow Twitter users chimed in with their own ideas.
"Scott Bakula *IS* four Jetpaculas *IN* Jetp4ck Dr4cul4: 4 Pete's Sake"
But where "sake" is pronounced like the alcohol

5. @gray’s suggestion is almost too good.
Goddammit.

6. Netflix has an important note.
Have you thought about making the HIGH PLACE a NORMAL HEIGHT PLACE – they have an excellent tax incentive for productions

7. This is happening, people.
My eyes are spinning around and turning into dollar signs right now

8. Other studios are already on the look out if this deal falls through.
Hi, this is Daphne with Amazon Studios. If you’re open to other bids, may we suggest a HIGH CASTLE? We already have the set & permits.

Next Halloween, watch out for Jetpack Dracula on Netflix.
