I’m currently working on an original action-thriller set in Saudi Arabia that blends high-stakes intelligence operations with deep personal drama.
The story follows a retired officer returning home for his sister’s wedding—only to discover a covert attack that threatens his family and the country’s most critical infrastructure. It starts with mystery and builds into an intense, cinematic showdown involving drones, submarines, and elite military units—all with an emotional core.
I’m looking for feedback, co-writing interest, and even just good conversations to help sharpen the structure, character arcs, and final act. The goal is to create a non-routine action film that feels real, dramatic, and thrilling—something fresh from the Middle East, with global appeal.

Falcon's Dive sounds interesting, Omar Ammari, especially "covert attack that threatens his family and the country’s most critical infrastructure" and "cinematic showdown involving drones, submarines, and elite military units." I haven't seen an Action Thriller movie set in Saudi Arabia before.
You could also make a co-writer post on the Job Board (www.stage32.com/find-jobs).
Looks amazing Omar Ammari and love the movie poster!

Maurice Vaughan Thank you so much, Maurice. I really appreciate your thoughtful feedback. That balance between personal stakes and national threat is exactly what I wanted to explore. And yes — drones, and even covert family dynamics all come together in a way that I hope feels both grounded and cinematic. Would love to hear more of your thoughts as the project develops!

Mark Films Thanks a ton, Mark! That means a lot — I put a lot of thought into the visual tone, and I’m glad the poster resonated. I’m really excited about where the story’s headed and how it blends action with deeper emotional layers. Would love to stay connected and hear your thoughts as I move forward!

You're welcome, Omar Ammari. Ok, no problem.
Hi Omar. Intersting story. Like the personal edge. But it feels too big budget maybe? I would be keen to discuss with you. Writer living in Oman.

So I developed a story a bit like that: When a former Homeland security agent learns of a planned terrorist attack on the US president-elect, he must stop the suicide-bomber -- his estranged daughter.
In other words, the first thing you do is look for a good hook and some irony.
So I just checked out a screenplay from David, and I would not hessitate for a second and eccept his offer, set up s video call, and take it from there.
About the budget, a few years sgo this film, made by a studio ,(yes, it's a studio film,,l) would cost 50 mil up. Now with smart producing, it could be made for about 30 mil, mabey!! But that's what you're looking for. But having a submarine in your film, now idea what the costs are?!! Do your research!!
