To Hell with the Blues!

Animated Blues Heroes Movie

What would you be willing to give to be the next Robert Johnson, Hendrix or Clapton .. would you take that lone walk down to the crossroads?

The Crossraoads

The Crossroads is the heart of this animated blues film project based on the legend Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil to play the blues. The struggle of the movie revolves around the lucky mojo below and soul of a blues musician.. as the story unfolds, the the two become entwined..

The plot of the movie unfolds as two up and coming blues bands meet at the IBC - International Blues Challenge in Memphis to compete for the best blues band award.. It turns out the bands know each other and can't stand each other.. they performed a few times at blues festivals and got into fights.. by chance they both wind up at the Memphis contest and decide to settle the score once and for all..

Before you know it, the bands are spying on each other and eavesdropping on conversations.. and then they both overhear something that sets their souls on fire... two old bluesmen get into a hell of an argument whether or not Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil... they're both stone drunk and start yelling at each other, "Did So!, Did Not! Did So!, Did Not!..."

And the two bands wonder, 'What the hell are they fighting about? "Did So" - Did Not" - "Did So" - "Did Not".. until the final word is whispered, "Did So" - my grandfather swore to it on his death bed.. said the devil done gave Robert something when he brought back his guitar.. like a beat up old silver coin... and Robert guarded it with his life.. if we find it, we can sell it for a fortune!"

And here's the lucky mojo they are seeking..

The two bands will use their cell phones to jump into animated action.. the good guys will enter www.bluesforpeace.com and the bad guys www.makeadealwiththedevil.com... you're there right now - don't believe me? See url above.

The main characters will be based on famous blues musicians like Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, John Mayer, Candye Kane and Buddy Guy.. they would be the voices of the animated scenes.. so now all we need is Martin Scorsese to make the film?

Wait a minute.. not so fast.. there's more... there's this black cat hangin' around that happens to see and hear what's goin' on between the two bands, the lucky mojo and the race for getting their hands on it first... little do they know the cat's also a sorceress and sometimes blues diva living in Memphis... she wants to get her paws on the lucky mojo and melt it down to make an amulet and become richer than King Tut.!

This is not the kind of movie you want to see alone.. there's a second argument over who killed Robert Johnson and why.. which leads to raising the ghost of of Robert Johnson... brace yourself for a spine chilling graveyard scene guaranteed to scare the hell out of you for months!

The opening scene has the Muezzin calling the faithful to prayer in Jerusalem at dawn as John Mayer walks near the Dome of the Rock, his guitar slung over his shoulder..

The screen goes blank.. and somebody yells, "Take it down from the fiftth" and the movie starts with John Mayer on stage at some smokey Memphis blues club playing a killer blues solo - his eyes full of lust lookin into the eyes of a lone, lanky woman in the first row...
