I like how you've drawn upon ancient mythology when coming up with your idea, your facial expressions and the animation in your voice really conjure up the film well. Were you going for a 300 style film? Because I'm sort of thinking 300/ Hell boy sort of film... None the less I think your idea is original, interesting and well put together.

@endlessxanxiety Thanks. But absolutely fricking not! :p Nowhere like 300 or Hellboy; darker and more pensive. Not cheesy. It treats death with respect, not disdain, like The Mummy and suchlike do.

I want people to take Blockbusters seriously again. So many recent ones are utter drivel.

I came 3rd! Thanks to all who voted, and remember - Just cos it has a big budget, doesn't make it a good film :p

@nicknshirl

Thanks mate! Think I know the 2 above me, so can't whinge really :)

Have you written the script? Am also a writer and intrigued by people's processes of putting stories together :-)

[DryIce7]

@theguylambert I have yeah. Done 4 drafts, need to do a 5th. I go through phases of loving and hating it, tbh. The dialogue needs work.

But yeah it shits on Pirates :p

Atlantis. The mere word conjures up numerous possibilities. This pitch has the feel of an old maritime picture with modern blockbusting potential. Vote for this NOW and get it made. Two thumbs up dog.

A good story and sounds like the characters are well fleshed out. I'm sure I would like this movie. I pitched the 13th Zodiac and have a real interest in Atlantis so look forward to your success and the realization of this film.

[endlessxanxiety]

@DryIce7 Personally I like smaller independent foreign films... 

[endlessxanxiety]

Furthermore I must add that I personally don't like modern blockbusters.. the film Thor that just came out is such an example. Your idea seems much better.

[MrCharlieChutney]

This sounds awesome, better than most of the cr*p out there!

Get an agent, get it sold!!
