"Violence increases in 2010 Olympic site, Vancouver. Officials consider moving Olympics"
Boom. That news article is practiclly the logline itself.
"Violence increases in 2010 Olympic site, Vancouver. Officials consider moving Olympics.... but hired hand, Jake "Enforcer" Mathis, plans on changing that"
I think you can pretty much guess what that movie is right there is going to be all about. I bet you can even close your eyes and actually envision the film and can even think out some scenes.
Hell here is a Tag Line:
"Before there can be Olympic Glory, there must be some Jake Mathis Gory!"
Now thats the action approach... here is the comedy approach....
" The suburban, generally quiet, town of Vancouver experiences a slight upswing in violence that could cost them "their" Olympics. The mayor panics and turns to a grizzled war hero. Enter Jake "The Enforcer" Mathis.... a man who hates crime almost as much as gymnastics."
And there you have the story of some ex Marine hard ass Clint Eastwood son of a bitch, cleaning up a suburban town from a rogue gang. He is on a limited time schedule to get back the towns Olympic aspirations and all the while he has an upitty George Costanza type mayor on his ass every move.To make matters worse, due to circumstance his sidekick winds up becoming a tiny male gymnast with Olympic aspirations and a Napoleon complex. The laughs wont stop with this one.
OR... you can make the gymnast a rather fat out of shape guy who is just trying to be in the Olympics when it hits his home town but has no shot what so ever. He could be like a Chris Farley big dopey 30 year old who still lives at home with his mom and wont stop dreaming. He loves the Olympics while Jake Mathis hates them... classic comedic bickering right there. So many gags can come from this... stuff with tights and sexuality jokes.
In first have you have Jake Mathis come in and start destroying this gang. During this he befriend the gymnast who is a hometown guy training hard. Then he find out someone is behind the gang and purposely trying to get the area to lose the Olympic Games. Maybe the reveal can be some other country or maybe the mayor for a big surprise.
Jake goes home and the gymnast goes back to training and actually makes the olympics.
Now for the finale... The Olympic games are now in the town and every things seems splendid. However, Mathis finds out there is going to be a terrorist attack against the show possibly by the first person who escaped or a different member of that group.
So for the finale Jake has to travel to the Olympics to stop the bomb or whatever. At the same time his gymnast buddy is going for a gold medal.
No one take this idea from me, I might use it.
