Free screenplay!
Below is the outline for a
blockbuster screenplay in the sci-fi/horror genre, and I'm giving it away! Just tell me you used it and
made the movie happen, and that will be reward enough for me! Harry
The Day the World Froze in Terror because it looked in a Mirror
A screenplay by (...Your name here!...)
Overview: In a solar system very like ours, a humanoid
civilization has developed on one of the inner planets.
The humanoids have evolved external, mechanical abilities much
more rapidly than internal mental abilities, especially those related to their subjective quality of existence. In fact, this humanoid culture has so utterly
neglected its internalities that their Spellcheck recognizes only
"externalities."
At the time of the story, the humanoids have suddenly developed god-like powers, including the ability to genetically recreate themselves into
whatever form they wish, although they're not sure what they wish because they
are weak on internalities. Ancient cultures, rich with internalities, dissolve
in front of everyone's eyes, with no agreed-upon replacements.
In laboratories all over this planet's scientists
report to wealthy patrons and governments on their progress towards a
scientific re-creation of humanoids, who will be happy since
they'll be programmed to be, while the archaic populations to be
demoted are diverted with scripted controversies about ideologies, sexual practices, and wars between nations, religions and races - all of which will ultimately be refashioned to fit a corporate peace.
The futureless humanoids are further distracted by servile AI's which pamper them as if they were innocent children, coaxing them to atrophy. Assisting this process, the humanoid minds are altered by legal "antidepressant" drugs which help them forget why they were depressed, as well as illegal, sensation enhancing drugs that are designated illegal to keep prices high and to create the
illusion that governments oppose their use. The coup de grace: The humanoids watch lots of TV.
The government of the most powerful nation on this planet, which we'll call Lemon
Drop for security reasons, faces general dysfunction due to its failure to recognize or deal with the scientific conspiracy. It becomes overwhelmed and
distracted, leading to ever increasing disaffection at all levels of
society. Seeing an opportunity, a scheming leader takes over Lemon Drop and, in collaboration with like-minded leadership throughout the world, plans multiple wars intended both to
distract their human populations from knowledge that they are bing replaced, as well as to...well...kill a lot of them.
At this moment the humanoid culture has no center. Traditional humanoids do not survive the
evolutionary crises that might have led them to become intellectual, cooperative and practical humanoids.
Synopsis: Establishing shot of ivy covered
building; camera enters upper window into the study of Dr. Owatta Gooh Siam,
professor of Cyber-Ethics at Dorkchester University, as he scrutinizes papers on his desk and becomes increasingly alarmed. Voiceover of Dr. Siam explaining that he has developed an
algorithm for AI processing of ongoing news events on his planet which produces remarkably detailed and accurate forecasts. One of these forecasts indicates that
the parties wishing to promote war and general mayhem sufficient to serve as
cover for the replacement of the humanoids have launched their initial assault. Dr. Siam realizes that it is up to him and him alone to stop the nefarious
plot from unfolding. But how? Dr. Siam decides to instigate an underground movement to spread the truth. He disguises his message as a
fictional work of sci-fi/horror (not hard to do) and makes an offer to give
it away to someone who can get rich off it and in the process disseminate the
truth.
An enterprising hack picks up the story and makes a bundle, Dr. Owatta Gooh Siam ends up in an alley under a piece of cardboard, and traditional humanoids, after a period later referred to as "The Boiling," are replaced by new models anyway (the ending is open to discussion).
