Insane Movie Pitches

[ThatNickGuy]

At work tonight, my co-worker and I were laughing it up at how often you hear the same thing in a lot of movie trailers. Like, you could count how many times someone says, "IN A WORLD..." Or in romantic comedies, it's often "He's a this....and she's a that..."

So we started coming up with our own completely insane ones, sometimes even coming up with a "decent" movie title. Here's a few that I remember:

1) She's a microbiologist.
He's...an amoeba.

See what happens when loves goes Under the Microscope.

2) He's the new kid in New York City.
She's...The Statue of Liberty.

Coming this Fall: Love & Liberty

3) In a world...where teeth have gained sentience, one dentist must pull it together to fight The Root of All Evil.

4) She's a shock rock radio jockey with a bad attitude.
He's...the second coming of Christ.

Together, they're Airing out Sins.

Keep in mind that these were created on the fly, so yeah, they're pretty stupid. Surely you guys can come up with some better ones.

Here's some inspiration for you:
