I wouldn't pursue it; anyone can come up with a ''''''good'''''' ''''''idea'''''' which he cannot write. That's exactly why you can't copyright an idea, but only a finished screenplay.

''I have an idea'' literally means ''I've got nothing'' in screenwriting.

Quite the opposite actually. Movie execs will listen to a pitch of an idea and then hire you to write it if it's good.

no they'll hire you to write it if they think people will watch it

Movie execs will kick your ass out and put your name in a black notebook so that you never work in the city again faster than you can say "pitch", if they find that you're a loser with zero writing experience who has no idea what he's doing, but this one time he got high and like got munchies, and like when he opened the bag of cheetos to soothe the munchies, like he got this crazy idea for a movie where like what if every person on the planet was a cheetos.

literally being this delusional about Hollywood's good faith to fund you while you attempt to write your debut masterpiece screenplay, just to see if maybe you could personally try to take a shot at screenwriting lmao
a fucking tooth fairy this Hollywood person

There is no such thing as a great initial idea. The final product, no matter what field, is always vastly different to the original idea.
