A young Nicholas Claus lives on the streets of a small town in Turkey around the year 1895. Nicholas wasn't the most wealthy, but yet he was known for being generous to those less fortunate by giving them handmade toys in their shoes at night, along with a handwritten note. The children of the town came to know Nicholas by the nickname “Sinterklaas”. After a night of giving gifts to the children, he was trudging through the snow, when a young girl named Anna called out “wont you have some bread? You look awfully hungry” Anna was the proud owner of the quaint bakery of the town. Nicholas reluctantly took a piece of bread from Anna. Anna invited him inside the bakery, to keep warm. While chatting, Anna put the pieces together and realised that Nicholas was the famous Sinterklass, but she assured Nick that his secret was safe with her. Before Nicholas left, they shared a look, deep into each other's eyes. Nicholas left the bakery and went to his small setup in the attic of the town hall, where he carved a wooden replica of Anna's face. Nicholas began going to the bakery every night he visited the children, and gradually over time, Nicholas and Anna fell deeply in love, and they eventually got married and Anna became a Claus. One night when they were strolling down the road together, they noticed a small man with a hunch scurrying around under a house, they called him out and he crawled out, he was no taller than Nicholas's waist. He was looking around sharply, his long pointed ears twitching, nicholas asked him what was wrong and he said that he was looking for a place to hide, and explained that he was on the run for days, running from a anti-magic cult known as the sable order, who had been hunting his kind, the elves, and had already captured over half of them. Nicholas and Anna decide to help the elf who told them his name was Elowen Ivory. Trying to get Elowen to safety, they gathered the remaining elves and hooked up Anna's carriage to Nicholas’s trusty steed, Dasher the reindeer, and made their way towards a deserted snowy wasteland they called the North Pole. Elowen and Nicholas worked together to create a small shelter where everyone retreated to. They lived there for a month before Nicholas started missing the children, and giving gifts to them, so he and Anna came up with a plan to deliver presents to all of the world with the help of Elowens magic. Nicholas adapted his nicknames “Sinterklass” and “Santa Claus”. Around 120 years later, Nicholas and Anna had created the most popular holiday, and even had their own daughter named Christina. Unfortunately, even though elowens magic kept them alive all that time, they still aged and became quite frail, so they retired and christina became the new santa.

As the result of an unrelated divorce and court battle, a Neo Nazi has to live with a Jew. The Neo-Nazi (played by Willem Dafoe) has to own an apartment with a Jew(played by Kat Dennings). Kat Denning's character is more sympathetic even if she's dumb as rocks. Also, they end up lovers.

Short film ideas: A man trains his Dalmatian dogs in puppy kung-fu and they take over the streets of California with an iron fist.

Obviously this will need to be heavily green screened and possibly shoddy CGI would be necessary. Creative measure to have the Dalmatians seem to be using nun-chuks and throwing stars would be necessary. The great crescendo happens when the Dalmatians have completely closed down entire streets and an elderly group have closed themselves into the bingo hall, gathered weapons and are ready to fight back.

Ok hear me out on this zombie movie parody movie. I swear it’s not racist I hope!

Ok things of it similar to the famous and beloved movie white chicks!

Call it Whitepocalypse!

A virus is spreading rapidly throughout America then the world. The government claims to be “working on it” but as the president sees fit to his future plans he halts any research on curing it.

The virus spreads out through every one turning white Americans horror zombie like, without the dying ofc. And whoever gets bit by them turns into a white person too.

There will be some kind of moral of the story I can pull out my ass for this but I’m at work bored as the only poc here wondering who’d hide their white bite or what.

As our main characters of every race or whatever trying to save the world you know the usual.

I feel like if that ever saw the light of day and what’s in the movie the wrong people will like it for the wrong reasons. Or maybe vice versa but who knows right

Shitty horror movie idea

The title would be Plants vs. Zombies. (maybe change up the spelling to avoid copyright)

The whole idea of the movie is that music industry plants are trying to survive in the studio during the zombie apocalypse. Have a bunch of 4th wall breaks and meta references to real life, and have all of the main characters loosely based off of celebrities that a lot of people believe are industry plants.

The budget should be no more than $10,000.

Hollows Night

A former assassin or hitman has retired into a small town, away from civilization. He enjoys his life in the town until one night he gets a cryptic call similar to the first Scream movie. The slasher killer breaks into his house, hunting him like he would other victims. The assassin kills the killer before stepping outside to realize hundreds of slasher killers have descended upon the town. He has to kill them all before they ruin his peaceful life. action/horror.

A freaky Friday type idea

A popstar who is all cheery and bubbly (Ariana Grande is perfect for this role as she’s pretty and makes catchy music) swaps her body with a selfish, mean tycoon(Bryan Cranston) who is obsessed with his daughter’s(Brianna Hildebrand) wedding (to a woman: but he’s fine with that, the conflict is unrelated to her gayness) because she’s marrying a retail worker and he wants her to marry well.

Santa dies along with all the reindeers. the elves must figure out how to deliver all the presents on time for Christmas. this is a dark humor/action, rated R.

Empty Baron

Totally fictional movie idea.

The son of a disgraced public figure finds out his dad owed billions upon his death and his entire upbringing was a lie.

His Eastern European mother uses the funds she embezzled while married to him and takes him back to her home country.

He has to learn humility and make friends in a foreign land where people hate him because of who his father was.

Maybe he stays an asshole? Starts a right wing movement and solidly loses his first race in the new country. We can figure that out in post.

Disney makes a DIFFERENT Cinderella 2

This time, Lucifer returns and he actually wins this time by eating the mice. It is rather grim, dark, and bloody. It also features digestion scenes that look more at place on South Park than in Disney.

A dumb lesbian falls in love with an athlete

The main character, played by Chloe Mortez, is a waitress with a HS education. She makes basic mistakes about geography and other incredibly obvious things to most people. She falls in love with a swimmer, who is played by Cameron Esposito. The romantic comedy is R rated and rather raunchy.
