Let me do this Hollywood pitch style.

Think of " Friday the 13th" meets "Se7en" meets "Get Shorty". No, no. Hear me out.

So we're in Hollywood, right? And there are these celebrity MURDERS happening. Like, fucking violent-ass gory-as-shit Hard R murders. And they're ironic, too! Like, Shaw and Marlon Wayans are drowned in a vat of boiling bleach after being castrated -- now they really ARE "White Chicks". But there are these lessers guys being murdered, too. Just random Hollywood nobodies.

So we've got a cop, a grizzled, world-weary Stephen Dorf kinda dude. He's investigating all these killings and he slowly figures out that the "lesser" murders all involve people who worked on this one movie (you can name it whatever the hell you want!). Like, the writer/director disappeared and was later found dead and all these people are dead by association. So the cop, he starts to crawl his way up the seedy underbelly of Hollywood to figure out what the hell is going on.

Now, this is great. See, we've given you a red herring, because it turns out that the killer is the dead writer/director who's come back to life after being murdered by the Bagel Brothers, the producers of the movie. In one spiraling "twist" you get the whole ugly backstory - the writer was an indie who dreams of making it big. The brothers bought the script and let him direct, but then cut it to SHIT and reshot a lot of stuff. Naturally, the director got pissed and started slamming the film in the press, leading to his arranged murder by the brothers. Of course, now he's an undead maniac, and he's getting revenge on all of Hollywood, which is why all these awful "celebrities" are getting axed, too.

To keep the audience in suspense, though, you don't unveil the undead thing until like the last ten minutes. The cop has figured everything out and knows that the Bagel Brothers are next. He races to the studio only to find them already captured by the undead director. But by now, the audience almost sympathizes with the guy, because you realize how badly he's been fucked over. So he kills the brothers IN FRONT OF the cop and then moves in on him, too. You close unsure of whether the cop dies or not. Instant sequel.
