Movie Pitch: K-9/11

The Pitch:
New York narcotics officer, Mike Dooley, has lost his girlfriend, the lead suspect in a murder case and his partner. But, in order to track down drug kingpin, Benny the Mule, Mike is assigned a new partner, Jerry Lee, a German Shepherd with an attitude. Just when Mike thinks his day can't get any worse, tragedy strikes in the form of a terrorist attack on American soil. Now, it is up to Mike and Jerry Lee to rescue the survivors, including Mike's ex-girlfriend. But can this crime-fighting odd couple catch the bad guy, get the girl and save New York all before dinner time?


The Breakdown:
K-9/11 tells the true story of animal rescue workers on September 11th. This film should appeal to fans of dog in action movies (Turner and Hooch, Top Dog and Air Bud 7: Parapoocher). And, while men will relate to Jim Belushi's hard-edged ruggedness, while women should be attracted to his soft-hearted ruggedness. Fans of ABC's "According to Jim" are an obvious target audience.

The Prediction:
$114 million opening five hours. $8 trillion worldwide.
