on A detective fiction writer becomes convinced her lover’s death wasn’t a suicide and must prove his brilliant wife is a killer before becoming the next victim.

Funny you said that - I just tweaked to “crime fiction writer” and “detective wife” or maybe it should be “detective widow” but that sounds kind of funny to me. I’m liking the idea of two strong female leads battling…
on Convinced by prominent comedians that marriage will make him funnier, a struggling comic takes their joke seriously and elopes only to find his bride wants a marriage so peaceful that in order to find the comedy in it, he’ll have to up his game.

Picturing this I can only see the guy coming off as mean not funny if the wife is perfect. I think she needs to have her own goal/motivation a la How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. I do…
on When a mistress learns her lover has died and his death erroneously ruled a suicide, she must untangle the true cause of his death.

Another attempt: An ex-detective turned lonely housewife feels alive again when she sleeps with an old flame, but when he ends up dead she must hunt the killer before she’s next.
on When a mistress learns her lover has died and his death erroneously ruled a suicide, she must untangle the true cause of his death.

Fabulous comments. Thank you.
on When a mistress learns her lover has died and his death erroneously ruled a suicide, she must untangle the true cause of his death.

All excellent questions, thank you.
on A space detective loses touch between fantasy and reality when she finds herself in a dystopian city to destroy and capture cyborg hunters who robbed a plane.

Maybe ...When an army of cyborgs capture a plane destined to.., (what’s special about this plane?), a fierce space detective must take it back.
on On the eve of her final night at an urgent care center, an opiate-dependent nurse practitioner must overcome her addiction to fight off a gang of violent teen junkies, fiending for the stash of narcotics.

Building on earlier comments how about: When a gang of violent junkies overtake security at an Urgent Care center, an opiate-dependent nurse injects herself with NarCan (?) to sober up and start fighting back.
on A shy movie fan and his crush are magically pulled into a 1930s adventure film and must race a power gangster to a legendary treasure in order to return to the real world.

If we knew what the treasure was would it explain why that thing can bring them back to the real world? I really like the premise but I?d like to understand the connection.
on A successful, married spends a night with a woman during a business trip, only to wake up mugged, a few days later the woman is a candidate in a job interview conducted by him and his wife.

I saw the comments but still don?t understand the story. It seems the wife is actually your protagonist and has set him up, but then what? She?s already successfully nailed her cheating husband. What?s next? Where?s the continuing conflict?
on A successful, married spends a night with a woman during a business trip, only to wake up mugged, a few days later the woman is a candidate in a job interview conducted by him and his wife.

What?s the conflict throughout this movie? Is the woman-theif now blackmailing the man for a job? What?s the job?
on When a commuters’ activist group throws the bar car onto the tracks, lonely office drone Donald Brewster and his boozy compatriot patrons must make a case for saving the raucous rail-car or risk losing their home-on-the-way-home.

I definitely like the premise of this movie as someone who used the cafe car on an Amtrak for my commute regularly. You can have a lot of characters from different walks of life in one location that?s cheap to…
on When a crew of mismatched oilfield workers stay late to finish a job in the middle of nowhere, they are attacked by bloodthirsty monsters. They’ll have to band together to fight through blood guts, and teeth if they want to live to see another sunrise.

I?m not sure if this is still in development phase but for fun here?s how I?d write it thinking of it as a Liam Neeson/Gerard Butler etc vehicle. ?A suicidal oilrigger reluctantly takes one last shift to fix a malfunctioning…
on After receiving a personality implant to find a nuclear weapon, the officer starts noticing malfunctions of a previous personality that makes it harder for him to complete his mission.

Maybe something like - ?A military officer volunteers for an implant giving him the know-how to track down a nuclear weapon. But this isn?t his first implant, and he soon struggles with multiple conflicting personalities.?
on After a mysterious attack in the inner city, resulting in weakened protective borders, A lonewolf member of the Clerics believed to be blessed by God with their abilities goes on a spree to find out who was involved to stop the attackers from invading the city.

I?m just going out in a limb here. Think this is what?s going on - ?A member of a secretive group called the Clerics must defend his city from an attack by (insert group/force) using (his special power of...).?
on After faking a criminal’s death, the CEO of a mysterious syndicate who made it happen calls upon the man to fulfill his calling to help them find a book that could destroy humanity once and for all.

Hmmm. I?ve been trying to crack this one but am at all points confused. So many questions, here?s a start: Is the man/criminal the protagonist? Why would he need to fake his death? Is the CEO is the baddie? And…
on After delivering a raped black teenager’s mixed race baby in 1950s Louisiana, a black midwife risks her life to bring the father to justice.

With the change of time period, she wouldn?t be a slave in the 1950s. Here?s a take: ?After delivering the baby of a raped teenager, a black midwive risks her life to bring the white rapist to justice in 1950s…
on Series logline: A rich, successful plastic surgeon and reformed sex addict, suffering intimacy problems with a woman who offers him stability, returns to his former psychiatrist, a manipulative woman for whom he might still be madly in love with.

I like your reason why he was going back to therapy before - to be able to be intimate with woman he actually cares about. How about ? ?When a reformed sex addict can?t be intimate with a girl he…
on Halloween decorations only in October, no flowers in the parkway ? clearly the neighborhood HOA has become tyrannical. A group of moms plot a takeover during their weekly bunco night, and the only thing in their way is the idiot president and his old white guy friends.

Here?s a another (serious) take after taking heavily from Richiev- ?When the HOA president inflicts draconian rules on the neighborhood, a fed-up mom and her friends plot a coup to takeover the HOA. They conspire under cover of darkness ?…
on Series logline: In 1961, a British double agent, retired and living under a new alias on the French Riviera, must thwart a corrupt government agent secretly leaking information to an underground organisation of Nazis, men he sabotaged many years ago.

I?m very intrigued by this premise. Love the genre myself. But still a bit confused. Is he basically being made to do the right thing (catch a Nazi)? The dark past stuff is great for a broken type hero but…
on A haunted young man must decide whether he?s mentally ill or really seeing ghosts when his recently deceased best friend asks for help solving his murder.

This is an intriguing premise and a movie I?d watch. On the Logline, can you describe the man with another adjective? If he?s ?haunted? then don?t we know he is in fact seeing ghosts? And would his goal be to…
