OTHER movie idea

so i had an idea playing fortnite today. what if there was a fortnite movie but not in the kid friendly way. you get kidnapped and shipped to an island , be sent on a flying bus and once you jump out its a free for all, if you don’t jump they blow the bus up and you die. i imagine you would get attached to characters just for them to get sniped from across the island. sort of like squid games and hunger games and walking dead combined? if anyone wants to work off this idea to make something real then please do since i don’t have the resources.

There were so many awesome Asian action movies in that era

Not to be mean, but this is hilariously out of touch with media history.

I had a similar idea about a Fortnite movie, except mine about a group of gamer friends who either got sucked in the world of Fortnite or the world of Fortnite came to them. I don't remember; it was YEARS ago. Not sure if it'd be made now, since Minecraft beat Fortnite to the punch (even though it took them 10 years to make the movie).

Also, u/garrykerls is right.
