Topic: Pitch: Blood Prize movie series

Re: Pitch: Blood Prize movie series

This is a cool idea. What if the challenges varied based on the powers of the idols? So in order to prove yourself "worthy" of the long life idol, you have to survive the deathmatch (this should be the first movie), but in order to get the wealth idol, you're stripped of all your belongings and thrown alone into the jungle to see how long you last. You could even do some fun Twilight Zone-style endings, like maybe the winner of the fame idol had to kill a ton of people to get it, and he/she becomes infamous across the world for their murder spree.

Maybe in the last movie, someone decides that they want all the idols so they engineer a massive mashup game with all the previous winners (and themselves) that they've rigged, and the other winners have to team up to stop him/her.

Re: Pitch: Blood Prize movie series

Ooh. I like the idea that the challenges are linked to the prize. The foundation of the idea is that it's a way of choosing a great leader, and the rest become human sacrifices, so as long as that stays intact, the back story would still make sense. The prize should really be a prize, but you're right that the ancient Indian idea of a prize could be very different from ours, and infamy is still fame.

And YES the last movie needs to bring back all the artifacts at once and go crazy. The fans should be like "But they used up all five artifacts in the first four movies, so what are they going to do now? Invent a new one?"
