Project Redlight
Consider these movie pitches: "Jerry Maguire" in a wheelchair. "I Am Sam" meets "The Goonies." "Like Friends, except everybody's homeless." Think they're outlandishly, undeniably awful? We agree. But that didn't stop some sorry sap from lobbing them through the air of a Hollywood meeting room. What Radar magazine wants to know is: "Could you do worse?"
To find out, the pop culture source has thrown out a challenge: Come up with your own appalling cinematic proposal. Submit it by the end of the year. Whoever wins will "get the elusive reward sought by all budding screenwriters—a personal response from (Harvey) Weinstein, along with a stack of DVDs that he produced." It will be like God suddenly turned and, for a brief moment in time, took notice of you poor peon of a scribe. The real Hollywood treatment!
