Working on a new film which is basically clips of people getting 'check mate' in films. Chess is a very versatile game and can have many meanings when brought into a film. The most common use is for an analogy, usually to associate something with patience or precision (see Independence Day, 1996). It can also be used to show a character’s intelligence (see 2001: A Space Odyssey, 1968), or a battle between two people (see Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, (2011). Another popular use is to illustrate a person’s sacrifice (see Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, 2001). You can also allow the chess pieces themselves to serve as metaphors for what’s happening in the film (see X-Men, 2000). And sometimes it can even do all these at once (see The Wire: Season 1, Episode 3, 2002).
