Anonymous asked: Hey DG, I need your help w/ a movie idea. Basics: a couple adopts a mutt from a shelter and enter him into a small-town dog show on a dare. Despite the dog's non-purebred status, he shows an innate talent for shows and wins Best in Show. The dog goes on to win more shows and become a star -- but the dog-show establishment hates his mutt-ness. On the eve of the biggest show, he's kidnapped. Hijinks ensue and the dog escapes just in time to make the show and win. Needed: title and more details.
Okay, I’ve thought about this for a while, and I feel like it should be a sequel to tie into an established market. That’s our best shot at getting this made. From there, we can go a couple different ways:
Air Bud: Westminster or Bust - Based solely on what you described, this is the title. It will be our control. The only thing I’d add is a scene where he unlocks a bunch of cages in the antagonist’s warehouse to release other dogs that have been captured (while “Who Let the Dogs Out” plays, obvs). Then they can work together to get to the show on time.
Homeward Bound: Mixed Breed Marathon - Same as above, but the dog is named Patches, and instead of being funny, the movie will make you cry like a baby. A sad baby.
Karate Dog 2: Fourth Degree Black Collar - Same as above, but the dog can talk, knows martial arts, and is named something extremely racist like Chop Stick or General Tso. Also, the head of the dog show establishment turns out to be a cat who Chop Stick must fight in a zany final scene set in a night club.
Taken 3 - Same as above, except instead of the dog escaping on his own, Liam Neeson goes on a gratuitously violent rampage through the dog show community to rescue him. Someone gets their throat slit with a sharpened dog biscuit. Rated R.
That’s what I’ve got so far. No matter which one we go with, I vote we tap DMX for the theme song. It’ll be his big comeback.
