UPDATE 1/4/10: We're setting the deadline for this contest at Noon on Friday, January 8 as well. Prize is the same as the other Worst. Logline. Ever. Contest: A free month's subscription to www.itsonthegrid.com. There's a bunch of good ones so far, but it's still anyone's game.
UPDATE: Just to clarify the below, the contest is to come up with a better logline for the Untitled Mel Gibson/Leonardo DiCaprio Viking Fandango mentioned below. Best suggestion (judged solely and capriciously by me) gets a free month's subscription to www.itsonthegrid.com. KGMadMan has suggested an equally worthy contest on his blog, Deep Thoughts of Great Importance (of which I'm a big fan, and I know you will be, too), so in the spirit of the holidays I'll kick that off separately tomorrow. But for the purposes of this post, let's focus on this hapless Viking project. There are some good suggestions in the comments, and I'm looking forward to the rest of your contributions. - scoggins
Mel Gibson will direct and Leonardo DiCaprio will star in an untitled period drama set in the world of Viking culture. William Monahan is writing the script.
Finally bit the bullet and paid for Variety (their new paywall is incredibly irritating...and remarkably effective) specifically so I could do this post:
"...[U]ntitled period drama set in the world of Viking culture" may be the worst logline I've ever heard. And in the spirit of the holidays, I thought we should do our best to help refine it a bit. First prize is a free month's subscription to www.itsonthegrid.com. Here's my entry. I know you can do better.
ALMOST FAMOUS meets THE REMAINS OF THE DAY. But with Vikings.
