Mobile devices

And not only down Internet but all mobile telecommunications because today all devices are conected to Internet.

Idea

I think it's better to not show any main characters. Just to get the point across and the audience excited. So I would focus on The Idea. Which is cybercrime.

And a teaser that focuses strictly on cybercrime will be better than a teaser that follows a character we don't see or know. A short montage of different problems around the globe would be awesome - stock markets plummeting, street lamps going haywire :), etc - but I don't know how feasible that would be.

No phone @ home

As a brief side note, there should be no land line phone in Griffins posession. Having one could imply ability to go on line via a modem.

To use a phone, he will have to go out to a phone booth across the street...

If the plot requires him being contacted, they can utilise a pager, prompting Griffing again to go out to a phone booth across the street to call his contact.

And when he inevitably gets tangled with something illegal (to him), in order to avoid eavesdropping, he will have to go find a random phone booth someplace to make his call.

This would bring some nice and cosy 50's agent movie look-and-feel about this movie - and maybe facilitate a humble bow towards the Old Masters too...

Infected computers

Got one idea: if we show Griffin's daily routines as a POV shot, we could show infected computers lying around here and there.

Few examples: Griffin writes a letter (or a post card) by hand, takes it to the post office, pays for the stamp (with cash) and at the same time notices a computer behind the counter with someones e-mail account open... And another one: Griffin steps into a library, looks at the tall bookshelves, sees the librarian tapping his computer - and G. picks up a heavy encyclopedia from the shelf.

I also see the camera movement always slowing down/stopping when G. notices a computer, sort of emphasizing it. And there could also be something weird/funny happening on the computer screen...

Idea

Riku Pyhälä gave me the idea.

Griffin walks through the streets carrying a letter, and sees computerscreens with flashing advertisements (in the shops), he enters the post office where on a few computerscreens the anti-virus says that the computer is infected by a virus, before the screen shuts down. Giffin smirks a little when he sees the computer technicians stand clueless and helpless.
He gets pulled back to the reality when the man/woman behind the desk yelles next.
As he leaves the post office he sees the same computerscreens in the computer shops crashing one after the other)
A moment later he enters the library and gets a book. When he get's to the librarian the computer crashes and the librarian runs away (cursing perhaps?) Griffin smiles when he sees that the security camera crashes puts the book in his pocket, says thanks 'gov' and leaves
thanks 'gov' can refer to thanks government and to the more obvious one: he thanks the librarian for the (free) book

Music for the Teaser

Me, too! :)

When you have the idea..

I'm available for music wise if needed.

First person

We could shoot this in "first-person format", so we wouldn't have to reveal the face of the actor, but we could still follow his actions.

An inspiration for this might be dragged from the good old Prodigy music video "Smack my bitch up" - but maybe change the concept a bit :)
