Let me run this by you....

I realise that I havent been on the forum long enough to create a thread but you guys seem to be very honest so I want to ask your opinion.
I am currently a trainee accountant so I'm expected to gain at least SOME money in my life. The job search to get into this is not going so well but...meh. This isn't what I realy want to do though. I've always wanted to make movies.
The one I'm thinking in particular is something I call Deadlands which is a post-world war III western set in a war torn desert. It's a 'wastern' one might say (ba-dum-tiss). The story revolves around a man (who I havent thought of a name yet for him) who lives as a scavenger in post war mid-west USA in the near/mid future. World War III was not in fact nuclear it was simply a war between NATO and China whereby China invaded USA. Anyway he lives a peaceful life with his wife and children. The wife however witnessed a murder by a local militia planning to ambush their vilage. The militia therefore makes a pre-emptives strike and rape and murder his wife and the village. Upset obviously he plots revenge. He leaves alone, furious that no one besides him had attempted to stop them.
A year later the man approaches Vicemetal a town in Southwest USA after gaining a reputation for slaughtering any of the militia he can find. Upon approaching the local bar he is approached by members of the militia who he promptly kills. However during this time he has become cynical of humanity and kills everyone in the bar believing them to be collabourators. He is imprisoned for this. The town believe him to be a member of the militia and agree to exchange him for the militia to leave them alone.
This is what I've got so far. This would compose of the first 30 minutes or so. I'm thinking of giving it a classic rock soundtrack including Cherry Red by the Bloodhounds and The Weavers Answer. So what do you think so far? Any feedback would be welcome!
