American Movie

A Hollywood player named Jason Pritchett who frequents Warren Ellis’s Forum on Delphi posted this a while ago...

Sometimes, checking the fax machine first thing in the morning can really make your day! I was the first one in the office today, so I had the pleasure of pulling this wonderful letter to me off of the fax machine:

PARENTS LEAVE.
MEN WANDER.
A GIRL ALWAYS HAS HER STICK.

Introducing... CHICKS WITH STICKS

Dear Mr. Pritchett:

We are preparing an action/drama in which we welcome your involvement. "CHICKS WITH STICKS" are delinquent girls who fight with sticks for the pleasure of rich men.

Trained by a retired woman martial artist, the girls stage these bouts for big bucks in erotic, underground performances. But the fighting turns horribly real when the old woman is killed, and a power struggle erupts between good girl and bad girl. We have produced a four-minute trailer which displays the style of fighting we intend to use. At your request, we can send you a VHS copy along with a synopsis.

May we send you the materials?”

How can anyone turn THAT pitch down??

Who indeed? But don’t take my word for it—because, beauty of beauties, the trailer is online...

If some visionary has the guts to make this, This Will Be The Greatest Movie Ever.
