			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I am currently in a Film Class through wacademy, and I'm doing a brickfilm for my main film.  I already finished the story outline, and though I'd share most of it here before I move on to the script. (sorry to put it all in spoiler tags, but if you would rather just see the movie I don't want to ruin it) 
List of Characters	
[b]Actor[/b] who thinks he is the best but is actually terrible.  He owns a small greenscreen studio (an extension of his house), which is decorated by dozens of items about himself.  He is very loud and over dramatic.
[b]A teen[/b] that works as a (DJ?  Pizza delivery?).  He is a huge fan of Super Heroes, LotR, Star Wars, and other nerdy hobbies.  He lives with his uncle, the actor.  His parents were killed in a (set up) when he was 9; his dad worked undercover in the Middle East, where he foiled an attempt to destroy the USA.  The mastermind behind that plan (main villain), was found hiding out in the USA and was arrested, imprisoned, and supposedly executed.   After his parents died he blocked off most memories of their deaths, and cannot remember them later until certain objects trigger his memory.
[b]Main villain[/b] . He is a war-hardened man, a master of disguise, ruthless, and will stop at nothing to get back the plans to the weapon he was building when he was stopped.  The teen’s dad hid a copy of the plans inside a comic book, which he later gave to his son when the original was destroyed.  The villain wants to get them back, not knowing the connection between the teen with the comic and himself.
[b]The guardian[/b] .  Nothing more is known about him/her yet.
Description of Setting	Many different locations, there will be the actor’s house where the teen lives with him.  Teen’s bedroom, along with a living room and kitchen.  The actor’s studio (?), a forest for camping, a secret hideout for the villain, a supermarket or cinema or other busy area.  A small part of a desert for the middle east.  Maybe an airplane interior (for various scenes with the villain).  

[b]Main Conflict[/b]	Teen must keep the villain from getting the plans to a (nuclear weapon, Iron Man suit, bomb??), and along the way he finds links to his past.  When some are found, he envisions them in his mind while others are flashbacks.  

[b]Exposition[/b] The teen is at the (wherever he works), when his uncle makes a grand entrance and announces that they are taking a camping trip.  When they are out there, there are many strange happenings and killings, all orchestrated by the villain.  By the time they get back, they don’t hear about them.  The villain was supposedly dead (you won’t know who he is, or why he’s not dead until later).  
[b]First event[/b]	The actor is ruthlessly murdered (by the villain) late one night, and the teen is reminded of something about his parents deaths and has a flashback of it…The teen gets a makeover and runs away, forgotten by the police and social workers in the midst of many things happening in town.
[b]Second event[/b]	The teen goes back to his former home and finds the comic book and other treasures he kept to remind him of his parents.  He finds the plans just as he hears the door being broken open, and he stuffs the plans in his sock just before thugs grab him.  He is taken to the villain’s hideout, where he meets the villain, which triggers more flashbacks.  He somehow escapes just before they come in to question/torture him.
[b]Third event[/b]	The teen’s flashback has a memory of the villain always being there at different points in his life…and he also remembers another person being near him.   He hides out, but is found by the villain’s thugs again and again.  Each time something happens that protects him, every now and then seeing a glimpse of a familiar person at the same time.  
[b]Climax[/b]	The teen finally decides to tell the police about the villain, which results in the whole town being destroyed.  The teen and the villain both have an epic fight, and the teen is thrown onto railroad tracks, where the battle continues on a large bridge over a cliff.  The train comes…they are trapped. 
Resolution (end)	The guardian somehow whisks the boy to safety…just as the train smashes into the villain.  The guardian turns out to be his (unknown brother, father, other uncle, his godfather, his school teacher who was a good friend and spy along with his parents???).  They both return to what is left of the town (many of the citizens evacuated before the town was ruined), they decide to move into the city.  As they unpack their stuff (the guardian became the teens legal guardian), the teen catches a glimpse of someone standing in the shadows across the street (the villain?).

This is what the main characters look like so far...

The on on the far left is the actor (with an alternate head).  The two in the middle are the main character, the teen, and he can be a combination of the two figs, depending on what job he ends up having.  The one on the far right is the villain.  I don't know what the Guardian will look like yet.

I would really appreciate any constructive criticism you have. Please remember, this is in the very early stages of my movie.  Thank you!
