FAUST

Finished  this script by Cory Byam.

This is a great example of a visual script.  I may not like the story that much but I cannot deny the visuals are impressive.  The action sequences and strong visuals are enough for me to put this into development.

Story's about Faust who's a bounty hunter for the souls of people that have made deals with the devil.  A war is brewing between good and evil and Faust finds himself at the heart of it.

The plot needs a rewrite.  It reminds me of CONSTANTINE but has a much bigger, comic-book feel to it.  Faust needs to be better defined as a character.  He needs to be fleshed out more.  The whole thing about the demons roaming about needs to be clearer.  Also, we see the guardians watching but they are not allowed to interfere.  Why are they there then?  What purpose do they serve?

Still, if you get this into the hands of a director like Francis Lawrence or Zack Snyder you could be sitting on a monster hit.
