Distribution
A movie consisting entirely of questions. The only words that appear in it are in the form of questions.
Why?
  • Would you be interested in seeing it?
  • Is such a movie likely to have good word-of-mouth marketing potential?
  • Would making such a movie present an interesting challenge to a screenwriter/director?
How it works
There is only one rule the screenwriter has to follow: no words can appear or be spoken in the movie unless they are in the form of a question.
Can it be pulled off so that the viewers hardly notice it?
That's it. Now do your magic:)

I must agree with Oguntola Tobi. The movie would be very difficult to produce, but could easily go boring. Of course, if done cleverly, it could be entertaining, so I suggest using the following tools:
  • interactive - questions refer to the viewers and everybody finds their answer (or a glimpse of it)
  • yoda questions - questions themselves are said in a funny way
  • memes - questions could be made to look like memes, similar to this

We can't judge the movie before artists have had the chance to create it.
The constraints (only questions allowed) are a challenge for the artist. It's up to them to make a masterpiece around it. The challenge ends up being a magnet for viewers (curiosity, word-of-mouth marketing).
I've seen good movies that have interesting constraints:
  • most of it happens in a phone booth
  • most of it happens in a coffin
Both of these could have been done poorly. The constraints don't leave much room for action. They make it challenging for the screenwriter/producer but also interesting/memorable from the marketing perspective.

I feel like a movie like this will be interesting only to those involved in its making, in terms of overcoming a challenge. To the public, my opinion is that such a movie will get very boring fast. Even if the first couple of movies using this format succeed in exciting audiences, I don't see how it is sustainable.
