Is it normal that i come up with movie plots?

In spare time, I frequently come up with my own movie plots that i'd think would make good films. Like today, I imagined a movie where scientists create a machine that can temporarily enter people into purgatory without them dying. 2 of the scientists die, and the other 2 still alive figure out they can retrieve dead people from purgatory and use the machine to do so with the dead scientists. Its crazy plot ideas like that I think of on a daily basis. My peers think its weird for me to have these thoughts, especially since i'm not employed in any sort of writing occupation. But what do you guys think?

Is It Normal?

  • yeah its normal to dream of holywood stories. i do the same thing. just don't let anyone like the wachowski brothers do to you what they did to Sophia Stewart. They stole the Matrix idea from her. google it.

  • I want to work in the film industry. Not sure I have the confidence or skills to be an actor, but Directing and definitely Script writing are what I'd like to do.

    You should consider becoming a screen writer. If you come up with ideas all the time then you should at least write the plot down :)

  • I've done this all my life! Movies are my passion and I have big dreams to be a filmmaker some day. I have acquired a free demo of Final Draft (I don't have enough money to get the full software yet) and it's really helpful in writing scripts. There's nothing better than the feeling of being inspired to write a movie plot! Why would this not be normal?! It's great to have a talent as such, and I know that if I didn't make movies all the time, I'd be reduced to nothing.

    And you're movie idea sounds awsome! I write a little bit of every genre, but sci-fi/horror/fantasy are definatly my favorite. You should write it down and see where it take you.

  • Sure it is. If you write them down, maybe you can end up becoming a film writer.

  • Maybe you should write these down somewhere so you won't forget them. Write them as stories, or even as plays if you want.

  • How annoying is this, about 2 years ago I came up with an idea for a new Star Wars trilogy which reunited the old cast. I told my friend about it and he said it was stupid. next thing i know it bloody happened. I even had JJ Abrams pegged to direct- i'm not joking either.

  • Yeah. I watched movies feverishly since I was a kid. I write tons of movies, if their bad I throw them away, if their good I keep them. I think I have a lot to share and I could people give films to watch over and over, and give something to people to remember me by. I want to give people movies because of what cinema has given me, dreams, hopes, aspirations.

  • I had this idea once about these large blue aliens whose home is taken over by us humans because we want all their natural resources. Then this crippled veteran replaced his dead brother in this project where people control their alien like bodies while asleep. The guy then meets this alien chick and he falls in love with her and her people, making him realize he has to stop us humans. -__- but then some guy called James Cameron stole my idea. Oh well I guess, at least I still have my porn star good looks. :D

  • Yes, I have created many blockbusters in my head teehee ;)
    But I adore your idea. Would be a film that I would love. You should seriously write this down and contact all publishers possible and see where you get? May as well take a chance. If you have a talent, use it.
