The Creep Next Door

Dear Jonathon Demme,

First of all, I thought that Silence Of The Lambs was a terrific film, but I have a pitch for you. My psychological thriller starts with our protagonist, a former female governor, returning to the small town in Alaska, after resigning her office. Her political enemies forced her out, filing frivolous lawsuit after frivolous lawsuit, until her family was almost ruined financially.

She thought that her tormentors would leave her alone.

Then one day, someone moves next door. An eerie, creepy man. The eerie, creepy man is actually a well-known author. He calls a press conference, where he discloses that the subject of his next unauthorized biography will be his new.....neighbor. (stinger: da da DA!!!!!!!). He slithers around town for weeks, trying to find dirt on our protagonist and her family. They repeatedly catch him rummaging through their garbage cans.

One night, our protagonist's daughter wakes up, and finds the eerie, creepy man in a tree, watching her.

That's just the start. Just give me a ring, and I'll be happy to tell you the rest of  my idea.

Let's do lunch.
