SYNOPSIS:

Miss Palestine contest shelved over moral fears It had been billed as a beauty contest tailor-made for the Middle East: a pageant in which the contestants would not dress immodestly and the swimsuit round would be dropped. But, despite efforts to cater for cultural sensitivities, plans to hold a Miss Palestine competition in Ramallah have foundered as organisers stand accused of "spreading moral corruption'' by Hamas officials.

This sounds thrilling, Rutger Oosterhoff! The potential dilemma! I think you have a solid logline except for "he must stop." I think you need something stronger, like "he races to stop."

I love it, Rutger! Wishing much success with this storyline. I can't wait to see it in theaters!! I wrote a similar screenplay in 2010 and entered it into the Scriptpipeline contest. It placed in the semis. It was titled, "7 hours to zero". It was about a former terrorist who the CIA released from prison to help them stop his father, a tech-wiz terrorist who installed a USB-type bomb in the President's Limo timed to explode before his inauguration.

Thanks DD, somehow screenplays about preventing the killing of an American President (elect) are fun aren't they!
