REVAMPED MODELS

REVAMPED MODELS
By Joseph Andrew Killeen

GENRE: Horror, Thriller
LOGLINE:

A naive girl, eager to enter the elite fashion industry, discovers a dark, cutthroat world. Surrounded by evil, blood-sucking colleagues and the literal boss from hell, she must ask herself if she's willing to sell her soul to get ahead. 

SYNOPSIS:

'Revamped Models' is a high concept vampire tale, revolving around several eternally young women working in the New York fashion industry. Visually, it has the glamour of the "Sex & the City" movies mixed with the dark grit of the "Underworld" movies; a potent mix of fabulous glamour and blood soaked horror.

Thematically, "Revamped Models" is "The Devil Wears Prada" meets "Queen of the Damned", where the villainous fashion industry characters similar to those in "The Devil Wears Prada" are now literal incarnates of evil; the boss from hell, the girls that will kill for the job and the cutthroat industry take on much more lethal meanings.

While the new girl struggles with the hellish work, more vehement conflict arises when one of her co-workers, sick to death of working for an eternity and never being able to get ahead, betrays her superior and sets off a violent chain of events that leads to the resolution of overcoming her submissive position and personal weaknesses by breaking free to revamp her identity and career.

I believe this unique supernatural concept with timeless professional themes has widespread appeal, film franchise or television series potential and inherent merchandising capabilities such as dolls, fashions and beauty products.

Below are snippets of a 'Revamped Models' screenplay review.

"...Revamped Models definitely has an original, intriguing, and fun idea as it introduces vampires into the youth-obsessed world of today’s modeling industry. The story has a really unique character in Angelica Eve, the head of Rogue whose empire consists of ageless vampire models and youth-enhancing beauty products. The idea definitely gives this script a really unique hook. I also really enjoy the idea of bringing a mortal protagonist into the Rogue family, who is unaware that her new company is ran by vampires. Another interesting twist in Revamped Models is the unconventional ending...

...I absolutely love the idea that in a cutthroat fashion industry that there’s more behind the perfect faces and bodies that they all possess. Even though it’s a vampire/horror satire, there’s true heart here (apart from the ones that are ripped out) and that’s definitely appreciated in a story where human nature’s authenticity could easily be brushed aside...

... It’s so intriguing that the two characters we identify with the most end up dying and the audience is left wondering what’s next exactly. The culmination with double fights going on in the office works so well. With the witchcraft in play as well, anything could happen so the stakes (no puns intended) are extremely high, as is the tension. In the end, Julianna harnessed power that not even Angelica Eve knew she could logistically possess. Sometimes you have to make deadly decisions to get ahead and for Julianna it’s what has shaped her new lifestyle."
