Looking forward to a lot of laughs today! Bring ‘em on!

Tom Firestone

When a mismatched pair of bounty hunters—one an ex-cop with a grudge and the other a fashionista turned vigilante—are framed for stealing a priceless shipment of genetically modified strawberries, they must team up to clear their names, dodge ruthless pursuers, and uncover the juicy conspiracy threatening to rot their world.

Maurice Vaughan

Hey, Pat Alexander. I like the title! Here's what I came up with.

To prevent World War III, two American secret agents—and bitter ex-lovers—search for strawberry-shaped nuclear bombs in China, the largest producer of strawberries in the world.

Starring Alan Ritchson and Charlize Theron

E Langley

When intergalactic strawberries invade Earth and turn humans into mindless slaves, an unlikely group of bickering botanists must fight back before the planet becomes a giant shortcake.

Pat Alexander

Tom Firestone hahaha love it, that's great!

Pat Alexander

Fantastic Maurice Vaughan and perfect casting with Alan Ritchson. He's a terrific action star leading man beside Charlize Theron!

Pat Alexander

E Langley I'm dying! "Earth is in a Jam" is so much better than what I came up with hahaha

Anthony McBride

When couple who live double lives as hitmen for opposing crime bosses discover each other's identity, they must rekindle a broken relationship, allude law enforcement and their corrupt crime employers while working on a Top Secret mission for the C.I.A. called "Bad Strawberries". Stars: Jamie Foxx/Taraji P. Henson or any a-lister

Norman Welthagen

When a couple fighting through a nasty divorce discover a treasure map leading to an ancient cursed treasure buried on their neighbors strawberry farm, all bets are off as to who can get to it first.

Maurice Vaughan

Thanks, Pat Alexander. Alan Ritchson and Charlize Theron are modern-day Action stars. My story is like MR. & MRS. SMITH/MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE with strawberries and a ton of secret agents, the Triads, and locals going after Alan and Charlize. TITLEPALOOZA was fun.

Michael Dzurak

When a lethal blight is discvovered in a happily married fruit farmer's crop, he's pulled into the race to stop a pandemic with a beautiful CIA agent… who's the still single high school crush he never asked out.

Starring Chris Evans & Scarlett Johansson.

Bradford Richardson

When the Strawberry Festival's prize-winning strawberry is stolen and ransomed by Hans Gruber's niece, Strawberry farmers, Barbie & Ken, have twelve hours to do whatever it takes to save the day, even if it means they'll have to be BAD.

Wal Friman

Wild poster.

A female pastor, sheltering an escaped convict while baby-sitting, has God pay a guidance visit and bribing him with truth serum injected berries makes his punishment unrestrained.

Aubrey Plaza, Ryan Reynolds

Sandra Isabel Correia

Pat Alexander amazing idea and I had lots of fun reading all the Logline :)) Good work everyone:)))

Rutger Oosterhoff

After surviving the Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and before, the 1947 Roswell landing of the Magic Mushrooms... E, you should know what you have done to my mind!! I don't dare to sleep anymore, cofee, coffee, coffee, afraid a strawberry next to my bed will turn me into a mindless slave with a strawberry face. Ough, the agony! I hope those "bickering botanists" find the human kind saving pesticide soon, before what's left of humanity has to relocate to the artic.

Or is it already too late, and I"m part of an endlessly stretching out field of mindles humans; sure the Shortcake I'm eating tasts devine, but it isn't real. Why, oh why didn't I take the blue strawberry?!

"Let me take you down

'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields

Nothing is real

And nothing to get hung about

Strawberry fields forever"

Banafsheh Esmailzadeh

Two siblings take their lifelong rivalry to the next level--whoever takes out the most mutant strawberries wins once and for all!

Giacomo Knox

Here's my take on the poster:

Bad Strawberries!

A bickering divorced couple must overcome their differences and tap into their hilariously mismatched skills to rescue their daughter from a gang of hapless criminals in Los Angeles, reigniting sparks of love and chaos along the way.

Starring Anthony Mackie as Donnie "Straws" Berry and Rosario Dawson as Beatriz "Blu" Berry

Nathan Smith

Ricky "The Chef" Berry thought he left organized crime behind when he fulfilled his lifelong dream of opening a bakery and becoming an overnight sensation with his signature Strawberry Dreamz cake which earned him an invitation to a popular televised baking contest that happens to be an elaborate ruse by his estranged wife London, looking to take control of the criminal organization he once ran.

Pat Alexander

Love it Anthony McBride and the casting there is superb ;)

Pat Alexander

Yes Norman Welthagen so down for treasure map adventure face-off. Brilliant!

Pat Alexander

Okay Michael Dzurak I'm game for the agricultural espionage angle there! Chris Evans + ScarJo = Magic, too. Please!

Pat Alexander

Wow Bradford Richardson what an IP mashup you have there! Can't say I wouldn't go watch it :)

Pat Alexander

Wal Friman Berry serum, now that's a fun idea! Love an Aubrey Plaza/Ryan Reynolds dynamic, there's so more range to them!

Pat Alexander

Banafsheh Esmailzadeh perfect angle with the sibling rivalry!

Pat Alexander

Giacomo Knox , you had my curiosity, now you have my attention...

Pat Alexander

That's terrific Nathan Smith. He thought he'd made it out, but the strawberries brought him right back into the middle of it. Classic

E Langley

Don't know if it means anything to you Rutger Oosterhoff but I spent time in Amsterdam particularly around Leidseplein Square. I loved Holland. A lot. ;)

Sorry for the nightmares.

John C. Bounds

When a bickering married couple accidentally ingests a batch of hallucinogenic strawberries, their mundane weekend spirals into a chaotic adventure of surreal mishaps, outrageous revelations, and a rediscovery of why they fell in love in the first place.

Rutger Oosterhoff

Hi E, yes Amsterdam is great, het Leidseplein is nice , also De Dam with its Doves, and Rembrandtplein. I live not too far from Adam, about 25 km. Went to school there.:)

Drakos Nox

Logline for Bad Strawberries:

A pair of down-on-their-luck private investigators accidentally uncover a black-market strawberry smuggling ring while investigating a missing dessert chef. With time running out, their clumsy antics might just be the key to taking down the fruity underground—and saving their own bacon.

Starring:

Ryan Reynolds as the witty, overconfident PI, and Awkwafina as his chaotic, no-nonsense partner.

Pat Alexander

yes John C. Bounds the psychedelic piece we've been missing!

Pat Alexander

Drakos Nox all the way in on your concept! Love the casting too. Awkwafina and John Cena were awesome together in Jackpot! last year. Think Awkwafina would crush even more next to Mr. Reynolds haha

John C. Bounds

Thanks Pat. I was thinking about what if scenarios and that's what I came up with.

Pat Alexander

Maurice Vaughan

Congratulations, E Langley!

John C. Bounds

Congrats!

Anthony McBride

E Langley Congrats. That was a great logline.

Sandra Isabel Correia

E Langley I am so happy you won :)) Besides your amazing Logline, I love the strawberry poster and your creativity:)) I had so much fun reading you all!

Bradford Richardson

E Langley, YAY! Glad your idea won. It's perfect.

E Langley

Thank you.

Wal Friman

Proves E is a pro. In her presentation she used the poster as inciting incident. Created a "what is happening"-moment 10% into the journey.

Johnny Berihu Tsige

Logline: Two honeymooners are scouted by the CIA for an operation to spy on a dangerous weapon dealer.
