I'm a newbie to this forum and further so, practically new to screenwriting (wouldn't know the first thing, do know the formatting though which I learned a couple days ago, so that's a start).
Anyways, been brainstorming Ideas and I think I've touched on an excellent topic which hasn't been dabbled into (not to brag), not with seriousness at least.
Here we go:
A man captures an Extraterrestrial on his recorder with much detail (not your typical blurred video) and a small time news crew is willing pay big bucks for the footage to be displayed on their channel (hoping they'd reach the big time with such content), he gladly agrees to do so and a day or so later after he finalizes the deal with the news station. A few black suited men storm the station and reap all the footage, leaving the crew with not an once of the video left to show. The men then make their way to the originator's home (man who originally captured the footage) and ask him for the final copy of the film, the man himself is somewhat knowledgeable of these black suited men (hint, hint: Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones played these guys), he's a real conspiracist and makes a run for it with film in possession. A wild chase ensues throughout the film and somehow the Extraterrestrial, the true identities of these Men In Black, the news crew and underground government/secret operations are further involved and shown.
I don't know how the last sentence will be executed but it's only been a few hours since the idea popped into my head, so I'm not exactly all on details but think the basic plot is fine.
what'd do you guys think?
