They can choose the genre, the details of the twists and turns of the narrative and, of course, the dramatic end that should leave everyone in awe or in tears (optionally from laughter).
A set of randomly dealt cards help to determine their hero, villain and sidekick characters and the exec will outline the rough structure of their movie, the rest, however, is up to the writers. The writers have a much harder job – they must come with a whole movie. Perhaps, this would be covered in a ‘pointed questions’ part of the pitch meeting.
Most of them are a take on the usual movie tropes, for example one exec likes flashback sequences, while another wants ‘manly men being manly’… However, occasionally their wants are so specific it would be a miracle for the script writing team to guess it – for example, wanting an exec’s niece to star in the movie. These are supposed to help the player who is role-playing as an exec judge the pitching teams. The exec will also have a secret (from the other players) list of totally biased things they like about the movies.
One player always roleplays as an exec, judging the movie pitching chops of the two (or sometimes three) competing teams. In Million Dollar Script, a storytelling party game about coming up with a movie script, you can be both a member of a writing team drafting an Oscar-winning epic and a judgy executive deciding which movie idea will earn millions.
