There are quite a few news stories that I've heard and read that would make a good basis for a plot of a thriller movie. I picked a few of my favourites:
The recent Terrorist activity holda some inspiration for good thriller films for example, A few weeks ago a Nigerian born, UCL student named, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab attempted to blow up a Transatlantic jet. He was seen trying to detonate a powerful explosive on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit with 290 people on board. The explosive had been sewn in to the lining of his trousers. Authorities made alegations that he might be in connections with extremist groups such as Al Khaeda. I think this could be a good idea for a religous/political thriller .
Another good thriller film idea is an article I read online about a mother killing her two young children. This is a very sad, chilling story but could make a good film. Here's the article for it: Tests are being carried out today to determine whether two children allegedly murdered by their mother were drugged with Nytol before they were smothered.
Fiona Donnison walked into a police station on Wednesday and told shocked officers she had killed her son Harry, three, and daughter Elise, two.
An initial post-mortem carried out yesterday on the bodies of Harry and Elise revealed that they had been asphyxiated less than 24 hours before they were found.
The bodies of Elise, 2, and Harry, 3, Donnison were found in the boot of a car in Heathfield on Wednesday. A post mortem revealed they had been asphyxiated
Officers are investigating whether Mrs Donnison gave the children the sleeping drug Nytol before suffocating them a few hours before they were found, the Sun newspaper reported.
However the results of toxicology tests won't be known for several weeks.
A Sussex Police spokesman yesterday confirmed that officers had had 'previous contact' with the Donnison family 'within the last few months'.
It also emerged last night that Mrs Donnison, 43, suffered the agonising cot death of a baby daughter six years ago.
Mrs Donnison and her husband Paul found their world falling apart after their first child - Mia Florence - died at just ten months.
Although they had two more children, the rows and spells of depression grew more frequent until Mrs Donnison took Harry and Elise and moved into a rented home several months ago.
Friends spoke of a 'history of allegations and counter allegations' between the couple, who had both been married previously.
Last weekend Mr Donnison, 46, an accounts manager, was arrested over claims that he assaulted his estranged wife during a bitter argument.

This would be a good Psycological/crime thriller where the mother mistreats her children, maybe because of mental issues and maybe they end up dying due to be mistreated or as a twist they could get saved by someone.
The last story that I'm going to talk about is the recent earthquake in haiti. It was tragic natural disaster that killed thousands of people.
A massive 7.0-magnitude earthquake has struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti.
The extent of the devastation is still unclear but there are fears thousands of people may have died.
Haiti's worst quake in two centuries hit south of the capital Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, wrecking the presidential palace, UN HQ and other buildings.
A "large number" of UN personnel were reported missing by the organisation. Many people have spent the night outside amid fears of more aftershocks.
The Red Cross says up to three million people have been affected.
Describing the earthquake as a "catastrophe", Haiti's envoy to the US said the cost of the damage could run into billions.
A number of nations, including the US, UK and Venezuela, are gearing up to send aid.
The quake, which struck about 15km (10 miles) south-west of Port-au-Prince, was quickly followed by two strong aftershocks of 5.9 and 5.5 magnitude.
The tremor hit at 1653 (2153 GMT) on Tuesday, the US Geological Survey said. Phone lines to the country failed shortly afterwards.
There is still no official word on casualties and the extent of the devastation is only now becoming clearer with dawn breaking.
China has already indicated in reports in state media that eight of its peacekeepers are buried and feared dead, with another 10 unaccounted for.
I think hundreds of casualties would be a serious understatement
Rachmani Domersant, operations manager, Food for the Poor
The AFP news agency quoted the Jordanian army as saying three of its peacekeepers had been killed and 21 wounded.
The Brazilian army said four of its peacekeepers were killed and a large number were missing.
A French official told AFP about 200 people were missing in the collapsed Hotel Montana, which is popular with tourists.
There have also been some reports of looting overnight.
Rachmani Domersant, an operations manager with the Food for the Poor charity, told Reuters that overnight the capital was in total darkness.
"You have thousands of people sitting in the streets with nowhere to go. There are people running, crying, screaming.
"People are trying to dig victims out with flashlights. I think hundreds of casualties would be a serious understatement."
Earlier, bodies white with dust could be seen piled on the back of a pick-up truck as vehicles tried to ferry the injured to hospital.
Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and has suffered a number of recent disasters, including four hurricanes and storms in 2008 that killed hundreds.

This Would be a good Disaster thriller, Maybe it could be a thriller where we follow a couple or a family facing the disaster and their lives after the earthquake if any of them survive.
