Idle Riches is a screenplay and upcoming film by Garrett Minks exploring morality through completely the completely hedonistic self-centered American upper crust.. The script is complete and ready to go into pre-production. If you would like to discuss the project with me all of my contact information is available on my personal page.
History
The idea originally started in early 2006 and has evolved into a 98 page, 1 hour and 45 minute quick reading blast. It is in proper studio format down to the tee thanks to my copy of the Pulp Fiction screenplay and various other famous scripts circulating the internet. After one year of diligent work the dialogue is honed into pop culture venom.
Estimated Budget
After researching the budgets of similar looking films I've assessed my budget based on-
- Actors/talent - Young for-the-most-part undiscovered young Hollywood mixed with a big antiquated powerhouse in a small part. An experienced crew is even more important especially a skilled cinematographer and set/costume designers.
- Special Effects - See if any CGI or other expensive effects need to be deployed
- Location - How much it will cost for multiple locations and exterior shots.
After taking the big three costs into consideration I found four films that exemplify how much money will need to be put forth to make the film.
- Cruel Intentions (11 Million)
- 28 Days Later (6 Million)
- Harold and Kumar Go To Whitecastle (9 Million)
- Pulp Fictions (8 Million)
None of the aforementioned films needed more than a surface level of special effects however all were shot in professional grade 35 mm either in classic print or a digital medium. Pulp Fiction spent 5 of its 8 million on the cast but as a rule a cast of relative unknowns with huge talent can be procured rather cheaply. Each film had their share of exterior shots and locations but managed to do the entire process for under ten million. With the advent of the DVD market nearly every film with a nationwide release becomes profitable unless they have an astronomical budget (Cut Throat Island), even Waterworld broke even eventually. With the amount of sex and witty banter in my film it is an absolute guaranteed moneymaker with relatively little money by Hollywood standards needed.
