If we decided we were going to pen a football movie, and the climax revolved around a game that wouldn’t really be an original idea. If we wrote said movie and added a twist, one where our heroes (let’s just imagine they included the Philadelphia Eagles, a star quarterback in Michael Vick and a speedy wide receiver in DeSean Jackson) were down on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter, that wouldn’t be something we haven’t seen a hundred times either.
Here’s the thing though. Depending on how that one was written, it could be accepted by Hollywood or thrown out for being unrealistic.
