Hate to break it to you, but they won't listen. Please don't take this as someone trying to rain on your parade...I'm just hoping to save you a little time and effort ehre.
Producers are terrified of unsolicited submissions, so they throw them in the trash in order to protect themselves from lawsuits. People try to sue producers all the time with the "they stole my idea" claim. And the prosecution always loses, because the producers know better than to read unsolicited ideas.
It's a fine idea and if you wrote a screenplay, they might take a look...but a story idea from an unknown outsider simply will not get read.
Now if you were to make your own fan film, that's a different story all together. That's one weird area of copyright infringement that the studios and producers seem to encourage.
