  • "Dream House" - 600G against 1 mil?

    It sound like your basic haunted house story:


    Title: Dream House
    Log Line: A man moves his family into what he thinks to be the ideal residence in the country, but ominous things are going on there.
    Writer: David Loucka
    Agent: Jordan Bayer of Original Artists
    Buyer: Universal Pictures
    Price: $600,000 against $1 million dollars
    Genre: Supernatural Thriller
    Logged: 8/12/05
    More: Spec, purchased in a preemptive deal. Bobker/Krugerâ€TMs Ehren Kruger and Daniel Bobker will produce. Stokely Chaffin will executive produce.


    Anyone know details about this?
    Advice from writer, Kelly Sue DeConnick. "Try this: if you can replace your female character with a sexy lamp and the story still basically works, maybe you need another draft.-

    If the house is located in Amityville, I'm going to be very disappointed....

      I'm sure it is the "ominous things" that is what makes the script worth buying.

        Maybe the cesspool backs up?

            From that logline, it sounds to be yet another run-of-the-mill and mediocre horror film. Doesn't sound to be anything overtly interesting.

              Probably some stupid twist ending where the "dream house" is really inside a snow globe or something.

                Let's hope that the ominous things happening in the house don't turn out to be just a dream!

                  Of course it's worth $1 mil.

                      Nope. The Citizen Kane of movies in which there are snakes on an airplane.

                      I for one, can't wait. SNAKES ON A PLANE. Just say it a few times. Let it roll around your mind...

                        That's what happens when a well-liked writer gets a group of top notch producers attached to a script. These guys can get anyone to star in the movie and anyone to polish the script. that's all.

                          I think the logline is too vague to hate this out of hand.

                          And the title might be better than you think. What if it's not a wryly ironic haunted house title? What if the concept deals with the dream world?

                          It could be good. Probably not, but it could be.

                          Anybody read "The House of Leaves?" There's still gold left in the "spooky house" mine.
