LURED
By Eric Alagan

GENRE: Thriller
LOGLINE: A retired schoolteacher discovers the depths he’ll sink to, as he sets out to rescue his granddaughter from Russian human traffickers, one of whom is a psychopathic killer.

SYNOPSIS:

Not every parent is ex-special forces or ex-CIA. What would you do if they grabbed your child? (If you would like to read the synopsis - message me) “The next time you think of snatching my baby - - - don’t even think about it.”

Tsara Shelton

Wow, this sounds intense! I agree with Carolyn, I'd love to see it produced. Have you written the screenplay? Is it completed and available for folks to read? If not, it's definitely worth writing! ~Tsara

Eric Alagan

@Carolyn - thank you for your encouraging words. The character "John" does things that anyone - including me - can do. But you're right - there is plenty of (believable) action. The script is ready and I'm hopping to land some interest from gatekeepers.

Eric Alagan

@Tsara - glad that you found this gripping. Yes, the script is written and I hope to interest studio execs and agents. Yes, I'm hoping to have this produced. Wish me luck :-)

Mark LaFever

Eric - I very much like this idea, especially the transformation from mild-mannered nice guy to badass. Everybody will be rooting for your protagonist. Best of luck with this!

Eric Alagan

Thank you, Mark - I've not really marketed this but plan to do so in the next few weeks.

Jonathan Kramer

Interesting you go in the direction of thriller when you have such a good sense of humor.. I wonder how this could be spun into a comedy?

Eric Alagan

Hello Jonathan, This thriller has good doses of humour - a contest judge loved it as, according to him, the plot is so intense, he was glad for the snippets of relief. Spin this thriller into a comedy - Hmmm - did not think of that angle. I'll sleep on it - this time, I'll wear my glasses to bed.
