THE
IMPOSTERS
by Debora Hill
TONE:
Romantic comedy, set in New York City in 1984 (some interior
scenes set in London). Similar in style to 80's period films
like THE WEDDING SINGER and DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN, but with
a feel of mistaken identity romantic comedies like HOME FRIES
and AUTUMN TALE .
SET UP:
For the first time, a veejay is leaving MTV, and disk jockeys
across the country vie for auditions to become her replacement.
One of these is Tina Martin, a New York disk jockey who, according
to her friends, needs a makeover in order to become a television
star.
STORY LINE:
Tina's friends Ellen and Valerie make her over as a platinum-blond
bombshell in white lace. When she meets Ellens' boyfriend Graham
Davis, Tina realizes he is a dead-ringer for superstar rocker
Tommie Harley. When she convinces Graham to dye his hair, shave
his moustache and impersonate Tommie, she sets off a series
of comedic errors that leads to her landing the veejay job at
MTV and Tommie Harley. Ellen and Graham, however, end in tragedy
which is only mitigated by the fact that Ellen discovers his
deception before she marries him.
