Also the concept used in 'City of Angels' starring Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage in which a woman (Ryan) and see an angel (Cage) even though nobody else can see him. It is this idea that I will be transferring over to my production.
City of Angels is a 1998 German-American romantic fantasy drama film directed by Brad Silberling. The film stars Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. Set in Los Angeles, California, the film is a remake of Wim Wenders' 1987 German film Wings of Desire which was set in Berlin, Germany. In Los Angeles, Seth (Nicolas Cage) is one of many Angels who watch over humans and protect them in unseen ways. Seth's main responsibility is to appear to those who are close to death and guide them to the next life. While waiting to escort to the other world a man who will not survive heart surgery, Seth is impressed by the efforts of the surgeon, Maggie Rice (Meg Ryan), to save the ill-fated man's life and her sincere anguish at her failure to do so.
Soon after Seth becomes human Maggie is killed by a truck whilst on her bike. Seth apparently senses that Maggie is in trouble and runs to her aid. He arrives in time for Maggie to tell him that she sees the angels who have come to escort her away. Although Seth is no longer able to see the angels, he knows they are there and begs Maggie not to look at them. Maggie tells him that she's not afraid anymore and that when they will ask her what her favorite thing in life used to be, she will say it was Seth. Now grieving and alone, Seth is visited by his former colleague and friend, the angel Cassiel. Cassiel offers comfort and asks Seth if he knew this would happen, would he still decide to become human. Seth answers: "I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss of her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it." It is this that I want the audience to feel and realise at the end of my trailer.
