CONTEMPORARY DEATH
By Artisan James
Coming Soon...
SYNOPSIS:
This is an original horror spec, a feature, and a completely New Idea when it comes to the Genre,
as this script will introduce a new horror villain and a new, scary and captivating hook,
but it can also be many other things... as Contemporary Death is more of an
action-adventure horror thriller that can also work or serve as a new kind of slasher experience!
The script calls for performances, it calls for a grittiness, a realism,
and it calls for a visionary director who could potentially elevate it beyond the pages.
I wanted to write something original and really scary, something that the genre has never quite seen
before and something that could potentially appeal to a major studio and become a new
word of mouth piece due to how scary it is almost like A Blair Witch Project... but applied to the
"Slasher" and amplified on many different levels... visuals... themes... characters... death count...
while not slacking on story either. Something that elevates the traditional slasher.
I feel that is what we and the genre need right now in a world of remakes and reboots.
Something Fresh. Something Scary. Something Ambitious.
Something Extraordinary. Something Entertaining. Something Intense. Something Cinematic.
And something that could also have sequel and new franchise potential,
as well as both commercial and universal appeal.
Title & Body of work currently copywritten under author.

Amazing Kacee
Hi there Kacee, thanks for the feedback... I do know how to write a logline but I intentionally did not include it with this synopsis because I want to hold it close and not reveal it right now...
I will say that the genre has never really seen anything quite like this script because this concept not only meshes both the slasher experience and the creature feature simultaneously in new ways...
but the script also features this new hook (which is in my official logline) that really drives the plot and is what I believe could potentially be a game changer due to it's originality and sustainability...
and the script even introduces/ presents a NEW version or portrayal of the grim reaper and it's a really scary read. I wanted to write something original and really scary.
I see what is being greenlit nowadays when it comes to the horror genre. There are a lot of remakes.
Contemporary Death is meant to be something fresh that could potentially go toe to toe with what we are getting now and possibly even go beyond... because I didn't write it as just another b horror movie, it's something much more than that, mainly when it comes to the story, the characters, and the themes of the work.
It's very ambitious yet sort of a callback to the slashers of the old but something that could also be it's own new thing at the same time. I've been kind of referring to it as a "modified slasher experience" due to it's structure, character development, themes, visuals, and new hook/ villain that I was referring to, coupled with the title...
I have yet to submit this script as I'm still preparing but I've been seeing a lot of intrigue when it comes to the title... I've even seen this engagement in people's eyes when I pitch this to them and they hear or glimpse the title...
I hope to pitch this to the studios soon if I ever get an agent or get placed in a contest.. but right now I'm taking it slow and conceptualizing sequels.. meanwhile nothing like it is being made... AJ

Artisan James - I would suggest if the series is a new original take on an old something to totally delete it from your profile as you do not want people to possibly steal it. But sometimes when you have such original content as I do sometimes and unfortunately executives have no idea how to market something so original so when you start pitching make sure you have comps which go hand in hand with what you are saying and the tone of your series. BTW I love original stuff there are too many of the same old same old things going around. Best to you and thank you for clarification I appreciate it!

Amazing Kacee Thanks for the advice, it's copyrighted so I'm not that worried. It is a feature though and not a series, although it could be a series because the concept is quite versatile, of course I would have to break the script down into 2 or 3 episodes and continue to build it from there.
