Please share your thoughts about my logline.

A prominent veterinarian to Hollywood's rich and famous ends up losing Mike Tyson's prized dog 3 days before a major dog contest.

L. Tom Deaver

I chuckled picturing the terror of telling an angry Mike Tyson. While on the surface it limits your casting opportunities, it could be cast with any celebrity famous for their anger and or strength. I like it.

Robert Cole

Thank you! The script is a killer! It also includes a few cameos from celebs known to have pets. I have a few very funny comedians in mind to play the lead...and plan to pitch it to them.

Robert Cole

I also have a movie deck!

L. Tom Deaver

Good luck with the pitching and may you get the attachments you desire.

Gen Vardo

I'm laughing already. I agree with Tom, Mike's funny, although a bit on the nose. I'd say Alec Baldwin would work. Or you create a character in a situation, like a serious news anchor who's just been fired and replaced by a pair of legs. Like Harrison Fords character in Morning Glory. Or simply a dictator, visiting LA.

Robert Cole

My first choice is a Kevin Hart type lead...I want to go big!

Jim Boston

Robert, I love that logline...and I wish you all the VERY BEST on the ensuing movie!

Robert Cole

Thank you Jim!

Niksa Maric

It's fresh, different approach, simple, a good hook, doable, it has potential if you ask me. Well done, Robert.

Jenean McBrearty

Mike Tyson's dog? I take it that main character dies within the first five minutes past the credits.

Robert Cole

Thank you Niksa!

Robert Cole

Well Jenean...let's just say that he has 3 days to find the dog before Mike Tyson gets back in town...so you know there's stress!

Craig D Griffiths

Three days before a dog a vet loses Mike Tyson’s dog, he must ….. before….. or Tyson will …..

Robert Cole

Exactly Craig!

Christiane Lange

OK, the dog should definitely be some ridiculous-looking small breed, like something Paris Hilton would cart around.

As for 'fear of Tyson', the best story was how Robin Givens was "dating" Brad Pitt after her divorce from Tyson. But ... Tyson still had keys to her house. So one fine morning Brad wakes up in Robin's bed to see Tyson standing there. Can't remember if Givens or Pitt told the story.

Robert Cole

Oh my....I'm sure he's still having nightmares!
