Blog Entry #10 Awards

Awards and Success of Related Film

The Lottery Ticket is a movie about a young man named Kevin Carson who lives in the projects and has to survive a three-day weekend after his neighbors find out that he won a $370 million lottery ticket.  This movie is somewhat related to our film but it won't be a comedy.
To begin with The Lottery Ticket was not a very successful film... The movie did not win any awards and its ratings were not that well either. It received 4.8 stars out of 10 from IMDb and 34% from Rotten Tomatoes. The idea for the movie was good this movie could have been very successful and may have possibly won some awards. However there were unnecessary actions used that could have saved the movie makers money to enhance the content of the film.
First of all, the movie could have saved money by using undiscovered actors (lesser known). This movie starred Shad Moss as Bow Wow (Top 500),  Ice Cube (Top 5000). These are famous well known actors. Starring famous actors will cost you hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. All in all the actors could have made this a hit movie, they just didn't play well in their position of the characters in the film.  The movie made $24,708,699 Gross in theaters in the United States

Our movie will star a teenage boy playing a young adult barely getting through paying bills for a house after college. Our movie will save money as we will not have to pay well known actors. We will work around that film to see the problems we saw and will better our film off of their problems.
