Love a good British gangster movie? Wanna help make one? Watch the video and find out, after you consider the following. What do we consider a great British Gangster movie? Classics like, Get Carter, The Long Good Friday and Sexy Beast all provide the vicarious pleasure of living in the shadows and seeing these immoral characters get dragged through the dirt for their sins. When it comes to my own screenplay, I wrote it following a terrifying night out with real gangsters in Liverpool in 1995 and brought together other real life experiences in Amsterdam and elements such as The Nordic Biker War which to me all fit together to make the story that is, The Compromise. As such, my screenplay takes a similar sensibility of scale from The Long Good Friday, where a London Kingpin takes on the American Mafia and the IRA, but switches it up with the Liverpool gang, like a dysfunctional family out of their depth amongst bigger European, underworld gangs. The Compromise also goes further than other classic British Gangster movies with strong female characters who provide a moral compass and dare I say it 'kick ass' action to the proceedings. Not only do female characters provide a ying to the yang, in The Compromise, moreover there is a buddy element in the story too. The protagonist (Blair), a gangster, who trusts no one, buys the help of a nervous, but smart student whose girlfriend goes missing with Blairs nephew in the shadows of Amsterdam. This buddy relationship provides a counterpoint to the underworld action, anatagonism with Blair and a dark humour. Some have called the dialogue 'Tarantino-esque', which I'll take as a compliment. I'm particularly influenced any Elmore Leonard - who actually influenced Tarantino. Let's get back to it. I need your help, I need reviews, comments, feedback of all kinds for my pitch deck for The Compromise. It needs to show it has an audience, so please do grab a copy, email me for a copy, listen to the audiobook free on YouTube. If you are a producer or a production executive then please do DM me. We need original movies. This is a recent quote - STEVEN SPIELBERG: IF ALL WE MAKE IS KNOWN BRANDED IP, WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF GAS. THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN GIVING THE AUDIENCE VISUAL STORIES, AND THEY CAN BE IN ANY FORM, BUT WE NEED TO TELL MORE ORIGINAL STORIES.
