Pimp my TV (RA's bonus entry)

EXT. CORN MAZE - DAY

The camera enters the maze and flies through it, cutting around corners, swinging like a pendulum, a rapid swirl of green corn and pale yellow hay. It comes to a dead end. A pig oinks softly. The camera swings around and moves off, the grunts getting louder.

DISSOLVE THROUGH:

Literally through one of the maze walls and find the pig, running with purpose through the maze. The camera follows as the pig rapidly cuts through to the end.

Outside the maze, farmland stretches to the horizon. The camera swings back around to the exterior of the maze, swings down to the ground, and flies straight up, away from the ground.

From high in the sky looking down on the maze we see it spells out -
GREEN ACRES

Everything but the words fades to black and a title appears underneath -
CHRISTMAS 2009

FADE TO BLACK:

I heard Danny Elfman's theme to "Tales From the Crypt" in my head while reading this.

You realize there are at LEAST 3 execs greenlighting "Green Acres: The Movie" after reading this, right? ;)

You better get to work on the script, cause the trailer just sold it.

@Daisy, I was thinking of a man-made corn maze, but aliens...that would explain Arnold. Maybe Arnold is an alien emissary.
