When in 800 AD a business magnate frees warmongering breeders of Raptors to conquer the Holy Roman Empire, only the Charlemagne's elite troop Scara (minus those who joined the Raptor army) stands in their way.

Sometime ago I had the idea for that movie and starting writing the script for it, but did not finish it yet.

I have not found a good for the script yet (it should be historical and dinosaur-y, like “Raptors against Charlemagne”).

Thank you for your feedback.

So, using your and elbigelow's advice, what about something like this:

"A dinosaur army is conquering the Holy Roman Empire and only Charlemagne's handpicked elite troop The Scara stands in their way."

I dropped the year/epoch, Charlemagne should be enough indication of the historical setting.
Also, I could use more species of dinosaurs, I only had some breed of Utahraptor in mind, so far, but why not a second one?

While the business magnate is the main force behind the whole event, without more information she does not add anything to the logline.
Maybe like that:

"Charlemagne's elite squad The Scara have protected the Holy Roman Empire for years, but can they defeat an army of dinosaurs, lead by the richest woman in the world - who pulls some of the Scara to her side?"

That some of the Scara yield to the temptation of power is an important plotpoint - still, I'd like to do better...

I'd also recommend clarifying that the raptors are dinosaurs in the logline. Especially with your usage of the term Raptor army.

Interesting subject. I would lose the "when in" part and find a way to rewrite the last line without using parenthesis.
