Presenting my latest set of movie-film ideas, numbers 73 – 77*
Untitled Horror/Thriller
A blogger commits suicide on a live webcam chatroom, shocking the entire web community. But mysteriously, her blog, Facebook profile and statuses are kept updated with cryptic messages. An elaborate prank? Or digital messages from the afterlife?
Untitled Romantic Comedy
A man with a rare speech disorder falls in love with a lip-reading deaf girl.
“KL Berhenti” Action/Drama (tentative title)
Due to a freak calendrical coincidence, the Hari Raya, Chinese New Year and Deepavali holidays are scheduled back to back. Last minute shopping spree craziness causes the problematic KL traffic system to buckle, engulfing the entire city in a rare mass bumper-to-bumper traffic jam. Watch as the normally disparate lives of Malaysians collide in the sizzling heat of KL streets.
“Strikeout” Action/Thriller (credit: original idea co-authored with Azim)
A psychotic fundamentalist threatens to blow up every single modern Malaysian landmark, from the Petronas Twin Towers, to the multi-million dollar Eye. An ex-bomb technician turn CID investigator, Johan Jufferi join forces with sultry TV reporter Sarimah Sarini to hunt down the KL Bomber. Will they be able to stop the madman before Malaysia is bombed back to the pre-Mahathir agricultural ages?
“Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan” Action/Crime (tentative title)
Four young Accounting BA graduates enter the job market, to find a highly competitive world. Jobless and desperate to make money, they unwittingly join the KL underworld – becoming Ah Longs. Follow the yuppie-wannabe middle-class suburban quartet as they journey into the underbelly of Kuala Lumpur, asking people for money – and making sure their taxes are properly accounted for.

* The numbers 73-77 are not literal numberings representing any sort of real list, just a random set of numbers pulled out of my ass to signify the metaphorically long list of unfulfilled thoughts occupying my rarely explored, suppressed creative subconscious.
