A film that should or shouldnt have been:

[Vebronto]

I had planned a film for Elizabeth Hurley, that was supposed to be science fiction based.

She was a caretaker of a vast alien junk yeard, in a planetary system very far off in space.

This film would have revolved around the subject of survival and how a woman who takes parat junked space ships, makes it in a rude wqorld of extraterrestials, who laud it all over her, just because she is a woman.

Hurley has two at junk yard freinds, an old, but expierenced fuzzy type of alien and a nephew of that laien smae species.

Grettia, ie Hurley has to pull a ray gun, on a jerk who tries to rob her blind and also has to go to bed with a oververbose alien, who wont sell her the part, unless she gives him a peice of ass.

The warm parts of the film, are where Geeshagha, the older alien teaches her to sing and clap a certain rythem, to his stile of religion, which tells of how we learn of the universe.

I had the scene nailed and only Hurley could have done it.

She is very pretty in her black armless work coveralls and formatable as a gal that can take apeart, or fix any type of space craft, regardless of where it comes from.

The heart of the plot, is when a reclusive ship is found on a distant planet, that is half burried.

Grettia tries to tell Goulack, that something is not right about this strange and foreign ship, that is burried, but he is pig headed and wont buy it.

They use a very complex series of mathamaticle counter locks, to gain access into the ancient ship.

What they find there, in part is the core of the movie.

Grettia is also an exceptionally compatent pilot and knows how to tickle most ships, so that they can do things that they are not supposed to.

The rateing of this movie in the U.S. would range from gereral audiances, to parential guidance.

Im tired of seeing Hurley as a sex object and thought that a movie such as this, would be a change of pace for Hurley.

Maybe another actress, as Hurley seems to have gone into an eclips, since meeting her new love of her life?

Any thoughts for a backup actress?

I would ove to make this film, or a film like it, I also need more depth in the script.

your movie probably wont be seen by the older crowed. So you probably want someone a little more fresh. I was thinking that maybe Denis Ricards might be good. Thats my thought.

Dear Paul, What I was think of, is a slice of alien life, more or less as it would really be.

This would not be a shootem-up bang bang, but a serious look of what it would take to make it there, say if you had to run a junk yard, then contend with all the monsters we all have to deal with in real life.

I was thinking of shooting in Australia and have some segments of junk yard morphed in, as a false set.This would make it look as if the central charicter and junk yard were really on an alien world.

I like Hurley, as she was raised by a military father and benith that pretty exterior, is a very tough central charicter.

This is precisley why I have chosen Hurley for this role, but I don't think that Denise Richards is what I'm looking for, as she does not have the social depth, that Hurley does for this role?

Thanks for the advice, I will have to keep looking I guess.

[Vebronto]

Lets pan to still, in reference to the synopsis.

How does one make a liveing is space?

The same as here, but only differnt.And this is buying tradeing and selling.

What is there a lot of in outter space?

Right aliens and they need space ships to go from here to there.So like any vehicle they are going to break down.

Does someone make money off of this?

Test and you can find this right where you live and they are called junk yards.

Why Hurley or someone like her?

Because on Earth, everything is built lithically where a male dominance is the ideolog of the dead male lith.This is the foundation of the ruleing archatypes of this Earth based society.

However what about the archatypes of the rule in space?

Again there is a set way, however there is a vast differnce between doing busniess on Earth, as opposed to the tradeing lanes of space.

This is why I had wanted Hurley, or someone like her, who would have the social depth necessary.

The good rules of story writing and intrest holding are all followed, which entertains the viewer and this is what I want for the audiance.

There is a lot aof chavinism here on Earth, however with the universe being as big as it is, it is possable for a qualified female to hold a job, as well as any male.

Who has shown this, is the charicter of Ensign Roe, on the Star Trek Next Generation series.

Roe is a tough and nondelusioned Bajorian who has misgivins about the Federation and does not always concur with what the command strucure wants.

The actress who plays Roe, did a very fine job as a Federation plant, in finding out what the MaKee, a rebel group were up to and this is how she had left the series, by deserting the Federation officers position she held.

As Ensign Row, accross from Patrick Stweart, she had played an electrifying role and I was thrilled with this performance.

What I am looking for my freind, is a role for another kind of female star, that has to live by her wits and resources.

This is why I would like Hurley, or someone like her in this proposed script line.

The limited sex in the film, is the old attage, of you scracth my back and I'll scratch yours.

The charicter is a trader and it is known that sometimes sex-economey, sometimes decends to lower levels, so it still a bunsiness deal.

However there is a requiem for this transgressionand as you point out, even halarity, as the makeing amends to a female type of priest.

Explaining that this alien's phalus, is as long as a good sized German Sausage, even supprises the preist, who gives her absolition, but still can believe that she took the whole thing!?

The dull pace of haveing to content with jerks and deal in ways, just to make a liveing, fades towards the end of the film, when they travel to the jungle world and try to code ket access a very old courier ship.

Grettia shows her prowess as a kind of safe cracker, in trying to get into this ship, which is both very difficult and trying on her patients, however she does get in.

The problem occurs, once they get inside of the ship, which is only known to me?

No' I feel that I have it sized up, to a tee and man if I could find another charicter actress, such as Hurley, this film would sing.

The Austrailian film, Walkabout, of the 1970s, had the audacity and gaul to take the viewer out in the desret with the nature of the film.

In a way, I want to do the very same thing and take the viewer right into the fray and really make thme think of how they are going to get out of this one?

I don't want to depend on too much violence, within this film, but to show that this world and area she works on, is an inclusive part of outter psace, which this world is not.

The manager of the junk yard is kind of a mechanic, a diplomat, an accoutant, a busniess woman and a salvage expert.

She is also very, very fluent in off-world sociology and this is what I'm looking for, to take mundane Earth people and mentally put them into toehr situations, that they can not imagine being in.

This is not a synopsis, but a rough draft.

Did you ever meet a person who had a good amount of heart and soul, that made their life work, plus that certain kindof gile, that really made you look twice.

Well thats themanagewr of the junk yard.

Whats nice about this film is I wont overshadow the other charicters, by makeing her a Luke Skywalker charicter.

All Grettia is, is one of the guys, but with that little something extra, that make you think,"What would I do, if I were in her situation"?

Thanks for the return imput and maybe Ill find that certain charicter?

Most people found the original written synopsis of Star Wars utterly hilarious:

"..the farm boy and the princess hide in an asteroid belt.."

"Why doesn't the Wookie wear trousers?"

Film is an audio/visual experience, not a written experience.

I would suggest you have an artist visualise certain scenes for you, it may make it easier to explain your vision.

Thanks Pablo, will do.

"The warm parts of the film, are where Geeshagha, the older alien teaches her to sing and clap a certain rythem, to his stile of religion, which tells of how we learn of the universe."

Don't get me wrong here (This may be an amazing movie?), but I found your synopsis to be utterly hilarious.

[pmweb]

Star Wars was probably a funny sounding movie on paper but then how many of those space sci-fi movies really made it that big. I just wasn't grabed by the script. I don't think that an alien movie that is slow and mushy is going to work. I saw a disney movie like that. You need to put some sexy actress in the film to get the guys.

If your auto breaks down and it is the middle of the night, the last thing that you want to do, is be sexy.

The new batch of avant gaurd movies, that were produced in the late 1960s and 70s, show a break from what was considered normal.

Some of these films, such as 2001 A Space Oddesey, THX 1138 and a host of other films, had shown a marked departure, from what was the established norm, which was a big production cost film.

These formulas seemed to work, as there was a strong identification with the viewer, as the viewer in the audiance was going trough social change as well.

Too much is given to the viewer now a days and what has to occur, is that same need to move out in a differnt direction again.

Goverment and the people who want to control you, want everything to be homoganized and bottle fed to you.

I think it is time to break out of this mold, as social stagnation, can kill as and dangerous device can.

Im not sporting mush here.

In the series of films that had come out of the 1960s and 70s, there was a bold move to challenge to viewer.

The film I have in mind, is a very avant gaurd film, because it shows some portion of human need and reality, not a to script ego, that will bore people even more.

Now-a-days, too much is given to the viewer.

"Film is an audio/visual experience, not a written experience."

For the audience it seems to be an audio/visual experience, but during a great film, it is a writing experience as well.
Take Stars Wars for example, (I'm going to get a lot of whining for this...), but cinematically and in overall meaning it is NOT a great film. When viewed as entertainment, a stepping stone for a new form of moviemaking, etc., yes, it could be called great, but when compared to some of the truly deep and incredible films ("King of Hearts" for example), it is only that...entertainment. Yes, movies that are merely for entertainment don't need beautiful prose in their scripts. As long as they are coherent...a production can set forth. But the truly touching films, the ones that make you think and think and think and the ones that succeed in causing inner confusion...how do you think they got to that point? A guy picking up a random camera? Most likely not. The scripts are where it's all at. A beautiful script is the best way to get a beautiful movie. Without beatific writings, all that's left are the normal dregs: special effects; hip, fast dialouge, tittie fests and other infamous patches on the knees of mediocre moviemaking.
