Four Little Movie Prompts #4

Step 1: Take 4 movies you've seen and list them (no matter how bad). What's important is that you remember them.

For example:

1. Wonder Woman

2. Surviving The Game

3. Fist Of The North Star

4. The Shawshank Redemption

Step 2: String together a crude plot by connecting one facet from each movie. Adapt to your needs as necessary.

For example:

1. Wonder Woman—Little girl wants to be a warrior

2. Surviving The Game—Being chased by hunters in a remote setting

3. Fist Of The North Star—Finding out your father's dead sets you off

4. The Shawshank Redemption—Framed for a crime you didn't commit

Step 3: Clean it up. Then wonder if this puppy's different/interesting enough to write out as a short story, comic, RPG, etc.

For example:

In a mystical land, a daughter shuns the comforts of her noble blood and learns the ways of war. Something of a combat prodigy, she rises in fame and rank, ending up second-in-command to her father. A general in the king's army, her father's framed for murder and beheaded. As is royal custom, all members of a traitor's family must die and everyone gets the headman's axe . . . but her.

With vengeance in her heart, she flees the king's realm with his best trackers on her shapely ass. Assuming she survives them, her aim's to return and learn the names of everyone involved in her father's death—and why they betrayed him. Then she'll "let" them die, one-by-one.

There. Done. Whaddya think?
