I want to do something that takes place in the early 1900s. I want old-fashioned car chases, tommy-gun shoot-outs (with gangsters), etc. This was inspired by Lackadaisy.
[Name] is accused of allowing the [special item of power] to be stolen. To redeem himself, the elders say he must find and reclaim the item within 2 weeks, right before some strange event happens. [Name] is about to embark on his quest when a historian/scribe looking to make a name for himself asks to join. [Name] accepts, and they start traveling. He meets a long lost childhood friend, who is a skilled woodsman. The friend joins them and they continue on. The heroes continue to travel and discover new places, fight villains, and finally fight the master villain.
The story needs some work. But I'm happy I even got an idea and developed it this far (I know it's not much).
The Mummy's Curse
Based in 1922,when Howard Carter released the 'curse' from the tomb of Tutankamun'The Mummy's Curse
will hopefully uncover the mysteries of the Curse...
What'd you think?
Kinzcove's idea sounds awesome. Vik's sounds awesome too.
...
I suck at feedback.
EDIT: Me and my friends are making a short film about a were-duck, called "The Quackening". No CGI, just old school special effects. should be fun.

i just found out a sorta fun way to create a story if you have no other ideas. just put all your minifigs, accessories, and other stuff you might want- then close your eyes, and take a small handful. then place them in the open- and create a story concerning those piece! this is how i got an idea for a film which i might make.
Damn you Interbrick, I had something quite similar to that idea. 
Because it's really quite original...
Anywho, how about a mystery thriller about a cop who is trying to work out who a specific serial killer is who is targeting his friends and family before he gets to his wife and only daughter.
All his life he has suffered from amnesia, and confusion which makes his job a lot harder.
Unfortunately, as he gathers evidence it becomes increasingly clearer to those around him that the killer is the last person he expected...
Himself.
That's kind of a Memento ripoff.
Another idea of mine, I am in my disco mode atm:
The Crystal Unicorn Horn
In modern day NYC, where fashion is dominant, a fashion model is murdered. She is a perfectly symmetrical
human being and she was stabbed in the center of her body with a crystal unicorn horn and she was hung. The day of her death she was part of a fashion shoot. Days after he murder, photographs of a private fashion shoot she participated in that day surfaced. More models over time are murdered and soon the fashion world of New York City is on-edge and anyone is suspected of the murders. But as the murders progress, more and more 'private' photographs surface and the killer is slowly giving his identity away through little details in the dead eyes of the models in the photographs.Note: The film would be like a disco slasher.
I like it, it's not one of those brainless slashers.
Ah...
I've never seen Memento so I didn't know.
Thinking about making a Lego F1 series...
I have thinking on a kinda spy/agent film.
Maniac (Inspired by the funky song)
A lonely hearted woman sits in a bar in NYC. Male men take her back to their place but they do not know she is a female serial killer with a strange mental disorder which causes a hatred of men. This seductive, seemingly lonely woman, kills for fun and to satisfy her need for male blood.
A group of space marines are crashed on a hostile alien world.
Their leader/commander/captain/whatever decides to tell his team there is a way off, but they must fight for it.
The truth is, there isn't. No-one is looking for them, no-one even knows where they are, but he believed that if they die in hope, he would at least have granted them that.
One day while on their trip, the leader gets a signal come through.
A rescue ship has landed on the planet, and now he must change their course and fight to free them.
Maybe one of the marines could go rogue at one point and try to fight against his ex-leader?
Sounds cool, Bricky!

That's pretty clever, and surprisingly original! An awesome idea and an intelligent twist, you should work on that!
Perhaps the rogue marine realises there isn't anything worth fighting for? Or maybe he thinks that the leader is trying to distract the marines, as he has a way of getting off the planet and wants to keep it to himself?
One night, a mother goes missing while in Manhattan. Years later after a failed investigation into the case, the children of the missing mother decide to look into the case themselvsles and they recreate the fateful night she dissapeared.
I got that idea in a dream last night.
I've gotten some of my ideas from dreams. I might post one I had 4 years ago...
Synthetic
An orphanage is short on hands, so a robotics company donates a "boy" helper to take care of the orphans and to assist the runners of the orphanage. However when parents come to adopt, they choose the Boy because of it's perfect nature, but the Boy must decline because his job restrains him from going, thus, the other children begin to grow a extreme distaste for the Boy and abuse him physically and verbally. This continues until the end.
Feedback?
Blood Thick Bonds
A clique of teenagers, lead by a rich teenage girl who is not exactly the 'nun' like type and hates her parents. She and her friends go into a bad, gang filled neighborhood. This decision was made by the rebellious rich girl who has a liking to bad-boys. She runs into a gang of Latinos and purchases drugs from them and hangs around with the gang. But they still owe a big sum for the drugs and they keep stalling paying it. The rich girl soon is being followed by the gang on a weekly basis and stops by the neighborhood to 'hang out' with them every now and then. Her friends refuse to go with her, fearing they will run into trouble. The girl keeps getting harassed about the drug money and to get the gang off her back, she goes to the police and claims the gang attacked her and etc. Due to the police's racist judgement they beleive her and arrest the gang. They are put to trial and the girls series of lies win her the case, but the gang is only put in prison for around a month or two since the charges are small. The girl now is suffering major abuse from her parents who know question what she was doing in the bad neighborhood.
Time passes and her friends now hang out with the girl more knowing the gang is behind bars. Time passes and the gang members are released from prison and now go after the girl. The girl now goes out partying late once more, now that her parents restrictions softened. The girl and her parents forgot about the gangs release. The girl continues to go back to the bad neighborhood secretely to hang around with the bad-boys to anger her parents and fuel her never-ending rebellious behavoir. One night upon returning home, her dad is furious and kicks her out of the house. While packing, gang members barge into the home, rob it, and that is only the start of the terror that would continue. The rebellious party girl now finds herself stuck as a slave to the gang members and must escape soon before she meets the same fate as her parents.

Kinzcove, I cannot see that idea in Lego. Live action TV series, perhaps, but not Lego.

How is this?
Exposed
A man is simply driving home from his workplace when a seemingly out-of-control car slams into the rear corner of the car, sending it head-on into a truck. He then wakes up in a hospital to learn that the car had been driven purposly and that the "accident was really a murder attempt made by a criminal thought to have died in a office building fire 7 years ago. Being given a fake Identity by the Witness Protection Program, he feels determined to learn more about the criminal and why he tried to kill him. But can he do this with an over-protective police captain breathing down his back, and can he perform this opperation without exposing his Identity?
Escape to Reality
The military has been expirimenting with virtual realities and artificial atmosphere creation since the end of 2047. And it is the beginning of 2056 when Cedric Whitney is asked to test the first virtual reality in hopes of sucess and possible use for containing prisoners and criminals by mental imprisonment. But when the generator faces problems due to a power shortage and the main computer refuses to continue the expiriment, the man is unable to leave the reality properly, is he now doomed to live his life in a cubic room with only a projector showing footage of his real life, or can he get out, and alive.
