Unique ideas, Travis Seppala!
I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know I moved your post from the Screenwriting Lounge to the Your Stage Lounge because it’s promoting your scripts. Promotion can go in the Your Stage Lounge and on Your Wall.
You can post your promotion in one of the main Lounges (Screenwriting Lounge, Filmmaking/Directing Lounge, etc.) if your post starts a conversation that’s helpful and educational to the community.
Example: If you post this in the Screenwriting Lounge, within that post you could start a discussion about how you come up with ideas and asking other screenwriters how they come up with ideas. This doesn’t have to be long, just something that starts a conversation that’s helpful and educational.
You can also post your promotion in one of the main Lounges if you're asking for feedback.
Let me know if you have any questions.

"- a cop who hallucinates going after a serial killer. " Interesting, what's that all about? He just hallusinates and does nothing?!

Rutger Oosterhoff I realize now it sounds odd put that way. It's a cop who hallucinates... going after a serial killer. Going after the serial killer is not the hallucination.

Maurice Vaughan Ah. Sorry for putting it in the wrong place. My brain just decided since I'm talking about scripts, it goes to the Screenwriting section. Sorry.

... What's the halucination then,?
I can see dinosaur cops being a cartoon or live-action show for older kids and teens, Travis Seppala.

... Oh well, Travis, at some point in time, we all write our own versions of "Angel Heart." Be it a logline or a complete story.

Rutger Oosterhoff OMG, Angel Heart still creeps me the hell out, no matter how many times I've seen it.

Yes, Debbie, seen it many times too. it was a great movie! movie. Have a logline for an over the top version: "Alter egos intertwine as a confused LAPD detective puts together puzzle pieces in a quest to uncover and lock up a serial killer posing as Hollywood’s Messiah." Of course the detective is the killer, but he's "Split, " I mean really split, like detective, judge, and executioner, after finished writing this screenplay, (if I ever begin), I'm probably ripe to turm myself in to a mental hospital.

1) He hallucinates his partner who was killed in the opening. Like basically always sees her and talks to her and stuff, even though she's clearly not there.
2) I have no idea what "Angel Heart" is...

Travis Seppala OMG, find Angel Heart to watch. It was also highly controversial when it was out because of (well the ending) and Lisa Bonet's sex scene. She was on Cosby at that time, which was considered an abomination of everyone thinking she was her wholesome character on Cosby. Mickey Rourke and Robert DeNiro. Need I say more?
You can probably rent it on YouTube. Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2DBx2ca_Ck
