I wish to make a feature film script for the Black James Bond.
About this project
My goal with this project is to create a black super-spy film script. He won't be named James Bond, obviously. I haven't figured out a title for the film or a name for the main character. But the script will be 114 pages long and set in Chicago during the 2000s.
My greatest skill, other than reading, is writing and as of this writing I have just completed my first successful Kickstarter, which was "Unified Field Theory Discovered."
Overall, I have enjoyed creating these "Ten-Dollar Triumphs" and hope to create more affordable Kickstarters in the future.
I've been sitting on this idea for a movie since there was all of that controversy about why Ian Fleming has never cast a black man as James Bond. At the time, I said, "Well, why don't we just create our own super-spy?"
Nobody else stepped up to the plate, so I figured that I would put my keyboard where my mouth is and get to work. I'm NOT selling the rights to my script here. This is just a script reading. If you wish to make the movie yourself, you can change it to make it your own or buy the script from me.
Stretch goal 1: If we make it to 300 dollars, I will add in a script for the sequel. It will take a lot longer to write, but I can deliver.
Risks and challenges
This is my first ever film script. I've never written anything longer than a short story. Also, I am not a member of the Hollywood establishment, nor do I live near Hollywood, so I won't have any real voice to get this film made. But my idea doesn't fit the Hollywood formula, so they never would've made it anyway. Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge fan of Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnans' Bond. But this idea breaks with a lot of conventions, with a very unique "Bond villain." Just one dollar buys you the completed script. Disclaimer:He doesn't just have sex, drink booze and shoot people in my first film. Maybe in a future iteration.
