Rejected Movie Plots

I’ve been pestering the Hollywood moguls with original movie scripts for years, but all my ideas have been rejected. For instance, I had a really good outline for a sequel to Hitchcock’s avian thriller, “The Birds.” But Universal Pictures didn’t like my title: “12 Angry Wren.”

I was hopeful that Orion Pictures would embrace my comedy about an aspiring hairdresser who practices on her sleeping siblings. But eventually they declined the rights to “Hannah and her Scissors.”

More of my other dazzling film outlines and their proposed titles, all of which were, for some reason, rejected, in the Hometown Journal.

oh they obviously have no sense of humour .... compared to some of the other things they have produced they sound like fun themes

I would definitely go see "Hannah and Her Scissors!" Orion Pictures missed out!

I can't understand why they would reject your scripts!

Thanks for your humor.

These titles are hysterical!! You really ought too take one of them and rewrite the original movie into a parody. Look what they did with the Lone Ranger. You are so doggone funny, Nick.
