A brand new competition is searching for the UK’s most inventive and creative cinephiles to take on Hollywood and come up with an alternate ending to a movie classic for a chance to win £2,000.
If you ever thought you could do a Scorsese, Lucas or Spielberg better, then this competition – sponsored by cartridgesave.co.uk – is for you. Whether it’s getting ET home, Bogart and Bergman at the airport, that twist in Sixth Sense, it is the ending that can truly make a movie and this is your chance to give it a rewrite. All The Alties needs is for you put pen to paper and submit 750 words, either as prose or scripted dialogue. Visit www.cartridgesave.co.uk/
There are five categories to enter: best comedy or rom-com; best action or adventure; best fantasy; sci-fi or horror; best family or animation; and best drama or thriller.
Entries will be judged by jury panel of three acclaimed industry experts: Manchester Metropolitan University’s senior Lecturer of Film Studies Andy Moor, Film & Theatre Critic Kevin Bourke and script writer Martin Paul Roche.
As well as £2000 for the winner, two runners-up will receive £250 and we will be awarding two further entries from each category a box set to the value of £30.
Ian Cowley, managing director of cartridgesave.co.uk, comments: “We are massive movie fans and love the idea of challenging writers to imagine ‘what if…?’ with their favourite films from over the years.
“It’s the ultimate director’s cut – to re-do a classic movie the way they’ve always wanted to see it.”
Closing date for entries is 4th September 2015. For more info check out:
