The film Duel will be a superhero action fantasy film with a twist - the hero has been unknowingly fighting himself throughout the film. At the end, it is revealed that when the hero goes back in time, he chooses a different path, explaining how there were two of him. The film takes inspiration from superhero movies like Superman, Batman, and Spiderman. The target audience is 12-35 year olds, and the film will be released in the summer to target teenage audiences on summer break. Christopher Nolan is attached to direct, with Will Smith as the hero/villain and Megan Fox as the love interest. The filmmakers hope it can achieve blockbuster success comparable to The Dark Knight.

throughout the film. That is the twist that the film will focus on and the secret will not
be reveled until the end. Causing an enigma for the audience Throughout the film the
love interest notices how the hero changes as people to do not appreciate what he is

3. Films That Inspired Ours
• The main films that I have inspired us to make this film are, other superhero films
such as:
• Superman
• Batman
• Spiderman
The reason that these films have inspired ours is that they are all similar to ours in terms
of genre. And that they were all released around the summer time for the reasons listed
on the slide above.
4. Target Audience
The target audience will be people from around the age of 12 to 35 year olds. The
reason for this is that this is around the usual age group of people that would go to
watch this sort of film. The films that influence our film also have similar target
audiences.
5. When Will It Be Released
The film will be released in the summer, as we hope that it will become the summer
blockbuster. And at this time of year, is when the target audience, mostly teenagers, will
be off school for the summer holidays meaning that they will have plenty of spare time
to come and watch are film. Again films that are similar to ours have been released at
this time and have been successful. An example of a film like this would be The Dark
Knight.
6. Cast And Crew
• Christopher Nolan--------- Director
• Will Smith------------ Hero/Villain
• Megan fox------------ Love Interest
7. Costs
• The Dark Knight cost $185 million dollars to make excluding
advertising, but it made $200 million dollars in the first
weekend, all together it made over $1 billion dollars.
• If our film could make even a portion of what this film made it
would be hugely successful.
