Film Pitch

Logline- A washed up superstar is forced to prevent the destruction of an alien planet and cosequently Earth from an evil race of red martians.Aswell as finding publicity redemption he is torn between his hearts desire between two woman.


Pitch-
Chuck Norris vs Martians is an action Comedy which in itself is unique and fun for a majority of audiences, it carries qualities like its primitive humour and its fast paced action sequences.The film will carry key stars such as Ben Stiller playing as the lead role, Seph Rogen formally renown from his latest film "the Green Hornet" and Megan Fox. These star roles give this film potential to grab the audiences attention.The film would ideally be directed by Jon Favreau who has clearly shown in the past that he is adept at directing action with comedic elements as shown in the Iron Man films. The film will be made on a budget of £150 million and by being released in the summer on a 12A/ PG-13  rating would maximise viewership with kids and adults. The film could be shot at the salt flats in Utah and Britain’s Pinewood Studios for the Mars sequences and we could film on location in Manhattan for the scenes in New York City. The film would need a combination of costumes and make up to create the Martian characters, and cgi would need to be used to make some of the film sequences involving Martian landscapes and spaceships.
