Media opening film ideas

These may not end up being the final edit, but some ideas so far:
A Slacker film: guy loses something and has to get it back
A zombie film, which takes places a few months after the initial outbreak, focussing on a small group of survivors and their quest to safety.
A gang film, where a teen who witnesses the death of a friend decides to take revenge on the youths who did it.
A Cop film, where an officer has to solve a case, despite memories of his fallen wife, who he saw die in a hostage situation.

The first idea would be an action-comedy, the second a horror/thriller and the 3rd and 4th would be psychological thrillers
