Lifetime Thriller Pitch: "A Leap for Vengeance" (for Leap Day)

[CEDAvsFan]

A married couple (Andrew Lawrence & Kate Mansi) are horrified by the discovery of their nanny's (Alissa Filoramo) body, with the suspicion that she had been murdered. The couple are consoled by Andrew's father (Dylan Neal), who moves in with the couple on an interim basis, though all three are surprised by the sudden appearance of Dylan's estranged wife and Andrew's mother (Eva LaRue). Eva states that she wanted to be there for her family in their time of need, and offered to help care for the couple's four-year old daughter.

 

It's revealed that Dylan and Eva's estrangement was due to Eva's antipathy towards Kate, though Eva claimed that she had changed for the better of her family. However, once Dylan and Eva are dining alone, Dylan falls ill and gasps for Eva to call 911, but in a surprise response, Eva turned heel and refused to do so--revealing that she poisoned Dylan as part of a revenge plot. As it turned out, Eva's hatred for Kate reached the point of torment and abuse, and she felt that Dylan and Andrew betrayed her when they took Kate's side. The divorce took place on Leap Day four years prior, while Kate was pregnant, and in the time that passed, Eva had been stalking her family and later killed Alissa as part of vendetta. Andrew and Kate now find themselves at Eva's place, fully unaware that they are under Eva's evil mercy.

 

Additional cast includes Matthew Pohlkamp and Elizabeth Berkley as a pair of competent detectives, Joey and Matthew Lawrence as Andrew's brothers, and Jennifer Taylor as Kate's close friend.

 

Distributor: Reel One Entertainment

 

EPs: Joey, Matthew, and Andrew Lawrence

 

Director: Andrew Lawrence

I can see you put alot of thought into this movie idea. If it was made into a movie, I would definitely watch it.

I love this pitch so very much. I just came up with a Lifetime/LMN pitch of my own inspired by Wendy Williams if you'd like to check it out.

I'd watch a Lifetime movie like that, too.
