How do I sell this movie idea?
Question by : How do I sell this movie idea?
I have a really great horror movie idea, I really want to make some money off of it. How do I come in contact with a studio that would be interested? If any one I want Wes Craven to write the script since he’s like the God of horror movies.

Well, don’t bother sending it to anyone because most Agencies and Production companies refuse to accept ‘unsolicited material’ as it opens them up to lawsuits. Filmmakers are constantly being sued by writers who insist their ideas were stolen from a screenplay (or idea) they sent in the mail, or gave to celebrities in the street.
Put up an enquiry in Facebook or Twitter asking for a writer. You can also put a post up in schools, colleges, etc. Pick the best writer and develop the script together. Once you have your idea in script form you can copyright it and PITCH it to film companies, actors, directors. You can do this online .
