Can't wait to watch this, Corey Balbuena!

I think you're close to a solid logline. I just think your logline needs a better flow.

After a hired thief accidentally kills a beloved superhero during a robbery gone wrong, he pretends to be him in order to ensure his freedom and reunite with his daughter.

Or this: After a hired thief accidentally kills a beloved superhero during a robbery gone wrong, he pretends to be him to avoid prison and reunite with his daughter.

Or this one: After a hired thief accidentally kills a beloved superhero during a robbery gone wrong, he pretends to be him to stay out of prison and reunite with his daughter.

Thank you so much, @MauriceI have been having a hard time with loglines, I must admit lol narrowing everything down to just a few lines is an art form, I swear! I definitely appreciate the advice and will implement it to streamline and improve the logline!

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Corey Balbuena. It's definitely an art form. Both of your loglines are close to being five stars.

Corey Balbuena

Hi, Maurice! Is this better? I also took out the word "beloved". I thought it might be more straight to the point? What do you think?

I think your logline is solid except I suggest keeping "beloved," Corey Balbuena. I think beloved tells the reader that the thief is going to have a harder time pretending to be the superhero because people will probably contact the superhero a lot, visit him a lot, want him to be at events, etc. since they love him so much.

Corey Balbuena

Perfect, thank you!

You're welcome, Corey Balbuena.

Corey Balbuena I agree with Maurice. Just a little more logline flow, as in his idea: "After a hired thief accidentally kills a beloved superhero during a robbery gone wrong, he pretends to be him to avoid prison and reunite with his daughter."

Thank you for rating! And yes I agree with you and Maurice, but I don't want to steal your wording or steal his wording
