Main idea for a thriller , the final story line

Main idea for thriller,the final story line.

I came up with this idea at home because our group was quite stuck on final  ideas and it was taking ages for us to come up with one we all liked  and thought it would be exciting to film a mysterious kidnapping film and the unexpected nanny could actually be the antagonist.I came up with this base of an idea so that my group would not mind changing idea because often once your heart is set on an idea ,it is tricky to move on. I think we worked really well as a group and my group were keen to listen to my new idea.

It is the story of a young girl, Sophia, from a wealthy rich russian familly being kindapped, whos father Ilya Brodski, is known for his notorious buisness work. The daughter’s father Ilya already came from a wealthy ,large family, lives a luxourious lifestyle.

The father Ilya , had a wife with whom they have a daughter round the age of 11, and he has a brother, Dimitri Brodski, who is now non-existent to the family as there was a falling out between him and his brother that resulted in Ilya  banning Dimitri from seeing his realtives ever again.

Leaving Dimitri disowned and with not much money at all. The falling out with the brothers Ilya and Dimitri  was originally to do with the murder of their own father, as only Ilya knew that Dimitri had killed their father in order to receive the money he thought he was owed from the father’s will and Dimitri always felt as the least favourite child. Little did Dimitri know, that is own father would sink so low and leave the entire will  to his popular  brother to Ilya Brodski, which left Dimitri  with nothing.
No father , no money and now his brother wanted nothing to do with him.

In the household, we encouter a couple of maids, and cooks,bodyguardss  however the young daughter has one main nanny, Patricia whos been looking after her for the past 10 years and since has built trust within the family. She knows how the family functions, knows information about the fathers work, but most importantly knows the long lost uncle that Sophia has no knowledge of. Patrica and Dimitri Brodski first met 4 years ago in a bar, yet this wasn’t any coincidence, Dimitri had planned to meet her there. This was the uncle’s way of getting involved with the family and using Patricia as bait.

After having met a couple times after the first encouter, Dimitri informs Patricia of his plan to receive what he thought was owed to him. He manages to manipulate Patrica into believing that the family she works for is bad. After convincing her of the wrongs of the family, he informs her that he wants to kidnapp the daughter in order to receive the ransom, and that he’ll give her some of the ransom money and she agreess and that they can run away with eachother with the money!!!

At the end of the story, Patricia and Dimitri succesfully reiceive the ransom money and return the daughter back to the family. When Patricia demands her share, Dimitri kills her, leaves a note next to her body signed by Dimitri.

This idea of mine if just a base  idea and I am more than happy and excited about sharing  it with the group and happy  to adapt,change the plot according to what the rest of the group wants to do. It isnt a perfect idea but i really like the idea of using a russian family and someone who know Sophia to help kidnap her. 

I was inspired by the movie Along Came A Spider where someone who knows the girl who gets kidnapped , is the kidnapper ( the teacher) in our story Patricia is in on the kidnapping. I also have been inspired by its style of editing , and the mise-en-scene in Along Came A Spider. The style of Jezze in Along came A Spider ,would be suitable for our nanny Patricia . The little girl who gets kidnapped in Along Came A Spider, her look would be perfect for Sophia in our opening sequence thriller.
