Crafting an ending that's both inevitable and surprising is very challenging.  In this challenge, you will have the opportunity to write an alternate ending to this film.  Select a feature film (well known, if possible) that ended in an unsatisfying way and rewrite the final scene. 

Follow these steps:

1) Give the title of the film

2) Write a logline (1-2 sentences) for the film

3) Write a short (1 paragraph/4-6 sentence) description of what happens in the final scene of the released film

4) Write an alternate ending that you think would be more satisfying and resonant, while staying true to the characters, story and world of the film.

This Challenge is sponsored by Final Draft, the industry standard in screenwriting software.
