THE PITCH: Raiders of the Lost Ark/Jurassic Park/Consipracy Theory/The Right Stuff/Total Recall type thing. More to be added later. (isn't that enough? - NO WAY - we want a blockbuster here. Let’s throw in the Titanic as well. Now that’s the ticket! Our intrepid archeologist is excavating the pyramid in China (or some other archeological site—this is put in just to cover all bases) when a helicopter with his benefactor aboard lands and he is shown a close up picture of the ruins of the “Face” so he drops everything (sound of an ancient Chinese vase breaking) and they fly off to Houston for astronaut training. Next he finds himself at the Mars Artifact Recovery and Storage facility (M.A.R.S.—the “Trailer Park”) which is filled with sinister men in black and military types. He is overjoyed at the research he is able to do but then he finds out that the “bad” guys (the government—who else? “Martians?”) intend to blow up the face and the ruins of the “city” before NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor arrives to take pictures. The government got what it wanted—ADVANCED MARTIAN TECHNOLOGY!!! Like transistors, rayguns, flying saucers, chewing gum that doesn’t loose its flavor, teflon and computers that DON’T crash (no Windows monopoly on Mars). Our hero has to try to stop them—LOTS of explosions, death by asphixiation, a thrilling mars buggy chase, and a crashing spaceship with not enough escape pods (Men in Black versus the D.I.A for who gets into the pods). The red planet will run red with blood! This is a family picture folks. I’m keeping the ending TOP SECRET. I hope Spielberg will give me a percentage. Does this qualify as a copyright on the movie treatment? |
