If pitching this to a Western production company, I suggest using the more familiar term “genie” rather than Djinn.
What obstacle does? the child face that could defeat the genie’s purpose?? Or what arduous initiation rite must the child pass to become the deity of the dead?
In drama, whatever a character’s calling or training,? it can’t be a sure thing he will fulfill his destiny.? Just the opposite.? In order to create tension and suspense, the odds must not be in his favor.?? I don’t (yet) get the sense from this logline that he’s more likely to fail than succeed..? Nor do I sense what, if any, are the personal stakes.? That is, what he stands to lose if he fails.
So is this an origin story for Anubis? I find this very fascinating. Just note that Anubis has the head of a jackal, not a wolf.
Also, Djinns exist in the Arabic mythology (1001 Nights etc), which is thousands of years after the mythology of ancient Egypt (Anubis, etc). (Correct me if I’m wrong.)
But these are details that you can easily fix. Just drop the term “Djinn” and use “demon” or “spirit.”
