Anything Goes : Log line thoughts? by Ricki Holmes

Ricki Holmes

Log line thoughts?

this log line was suggested by a log line guru: Excavating a tomb is one thing, but when it harbors the most evil force ever known to humanity, there’s only one outcome; the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler. Any thoughts? Not sure myself. It doesn't seem to fit the paradigm of protagonist, problem and goal.

Ricki Holmes

Yes I agree. I like the pithy ones myself, however the best I can come up with is this; "A treasure hunter must destroy a salvaged tomb to prevent the unthinkable: the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler." Any thoughts.

Eoin O'Sullivan

Yeah, that logline doesn't work for me. I don't understand how the act of excavating a tomb, results in only one outcome? As a comparison, The Mummy(1999). 'On an dig in the ancient city of Hamunaptra, a smart-mouthed American faces the fight of his life when his expedition crew accidentally awakens a 3,000-year-old mummy.'

Thanks Eoin, working on it.
