"Life of a card" My movie idea

[samosa4u]

Or you could do a movie of a guy who starts off by working for some card dealer. He later quits and starts trimming cards, and making insane amounts of money. He revisits that dealer, kills him, and steals his pretty blonde girl.

He starts living the good life. Buys a mansion, buys his wife a tiger and his younger sister her own salon. When people accuse him of trimming cards, he gets angry and has them killed.

In the end, a large group of card collectors get fed up and storm his mansion. One by one his guards start getting picked off. In the last scene the trimmer will come out of his room with his AR-15 and he'll say "say hello to my little friend," and then he'll begin firing at everyone. However, somebody ends up approaching him from behind and shoots him. He'll fall over his balcony and land in a large pile of trimmed cards in GEM MINT slabs.

~The End~

Too realistic

I think the OP was looking for more of a fantasy laden script.

I don't think that's too realistic at all. In fact, I think it's so realistic that people wouldn't believe it. For anybody unfamiliar with cards, they wouldn't believe people would pay so much for little pieces of cardboard. And judging from the reaction to the most recent scandals, a huge part of the collecting population already doesn't believe it anyway! :P

When I first got into writing for fun, I wrote a short story called "A Card's Life" and posted it here. There was a link on the site for over a year that had the entire story on one page, but then I made some copies of the book on Lulu printing. That was back in 2007, about three years before I actually started writing as my job because I needed about three more years of writing before I was good enough to get paid for it.

The story was following the life of two Old Judge cards from the time they were produced back in 1888 until current day. Had a young kid, who owned the cards, and then his relatives who found them years later.
