![]() Athletics staff at a small mid-West college recruit a jolly ex-Eastern Bloc coach passed over by everybody else to train a fleet-of-foot deliveryman from the poor side of town for a big State track meet. ► Comedy, Family, Sport (Rated G) ► 109-page feature screenplay ► 4-page synopsis ► $10+ million budget ► © 2011-2021 "Runs Like a Gazelle" is a fictional story in the vein of "Rocky" or "The Karate Kid", but without the fights, and with a cute romance. The sport in question is the 100 meter sprint. Oh, and you might as well throw in a little bit of "It's a Wonderful Life", because one of the underlying themes is "volunteerism" and strangers who offer a helping hand. I think it's about time a movie was made about those amazing people, don't you?! Certainly, my protagonist, Donnie Lopez - for all the effort he puts out and all the troubles he surmounts - wouldn't get too far without a little help! A fun and uplifting modestly-budgeted 4-quad story, which has a wide assortment of characters to broaden its appeal. Major Characters/Casting Possibilities: (some of whom I have already reached out to) ► Donnie Lopez, 22 years ► Joe Silopovich, 70: Anthony Hopkins ► Randy Hughson, 35: Owen Wilson ► Coach Hec Robinson, 45: Delroy Lindo, Keith David or Danny Glover ► Aina, 19; Rebecca, 32 ► Sofia Lopez, 9, and brother Seve, 5 Accolades: Quarter Finalist (Miami Screenplay Awards 2022) |
