Radar asked movie producers recently what were the worst pitches they ever heard.
For instance...
Spayed in Manhattan
The Pitch: Sex and the City meets Trading Places meets Homeward Bound meets The Emperor's New Groove.
The Premise: "An heiress party girl trades places with her dog in a freak accident and is forced to make it on the streets of Manhattan," says an agent at CAA. "If she doesn't change back before she gets spayed, she has to stay a dog forever."
Suggested Tagline: You'll howl, beg, and roll over as the summer's biggest little comedy warms its way into your heart.
Yup, they're bad pitches and they're also having a contest! "Project Redlight" lets you pitch a terrible idea for a movie to be judged by the legendary Harvey Weinstein. I'm going to have to think on this. Saving Private Ryan meets Meet the Fockers? Hmmm...
