Look Who's Talking Pitch

Dear M.C.E.G Virgin Home Entertainment

Hello, how are you? I hope this global recession has found you well. I myself have been making several cost cutting moves. Did you know for instance that for $2.25, half the price of a big carton of milk, you can buy a smaller carton of milk? I buy two every time, it just makes fiscal sense.

Let’s get down to the meat and potatoes though, shall we? I write to you today to talk about a very worthy addition to an unfortunately neglected powerhouse brand in your cinematic empire. Yes, I’m speaking of course about the Look Who’s Talkin’ dynasty. For over a month now I have kept my ear to the pulse of society and culture. The people are screaming for something to talk to them that can’t actually talk. And who can blame them? Maybe whatever talks next will talk softly and give them a break from all the screaming. No matter though, I will count myself a lucky deaf man to be on the ground floor of what I’m sure will become your sole focus for the coming sixteen months of frenzied production. Virgins, I give you Look Who’s Talkin’ Funny.

Look Who’s Talkin’ Funny will follow the original cast of the Look Who’s Talkin’ franchise. With my connections into Scientology I’ve already begun to line it up. Kirstie Alley was originally asking for payment in thirteen pounds of horseflesh a day but I got her down to eleven and a quarter. John Travolta’s in for constant eye contact. I’m willing to slaughter the horses but you’ll need to get one of your guys in for Travolta. The premise of the movie is that Alley and Travolta’s characters are moving to a new place on the south side of the Bronx. The twist? Their accent walls talk. I’ll give you a second with that one, let it wash over you. Not only do they talk, but Alley and Travolta can’t hear them and the walls each have a different accent. Accents for accent walls! I know, I know, how hasn't this already been done? It's a blockbuster piece. The movie will draw hilarious cross cultural truths into an introspective look at society. For example, the Asian wall will be very smart at math!

Let me give you a sneak peak of Look Who’s Talkin’ Funny.

Reginald

"I say there, good sport, wot wot and all that. However did you come to the Bronx?"

Min-Lo

"My chil-ren needa food. American wonder country."

Rocky

"IT’S THREE IN THE GAWD DAMN MORNING! SHUT YER MOUTHS."

Now I don’t want to rush anything, but let’s have you call me. We’ll talk sequels.
