Topic: Steampunk Heist film
I just started writing the script for a steampunk heist film. The movie will center around an aristocrat who, while serving in India, parents died, leaving him a fortune. His Uncle, however, stole the money and is too powerful to touch, so the aristocrat gathers a team of thieves to steal it back. I'm kind of basing the characters and job on the old TV series LEVERAGE.
I just started writing the script, but I'm thinking this is going to be +45 minutes. Very ambitious, and I wont even start animating for months, until I get better at it.
Any ways, I was hoping to get some help with the plot. I'm not sure how he finds his team yet. He doesn't have any criminal connections, so it can't be that way. I want this to be original and fresh, but retain enough classic heist feel to it. Any other thoughts would be appreciated as well!
