The Maverick
10-25-2008, 02:09 PM
Well, as it seems as of now, Project: Connection (which has no relation to my other project Ridpath: Genesis- a WIP) is now picking up speed, after hitting the ground running- and fast. The catalysts were the receiving of J. Latham's script, and, interests from a few people, most notably Marvellousguppimovies, who was going to do it, but now, he decided to turn it down. He was the director of K4/Mustachio's Conquest: Beginnings.
I would have put this thread in the Production Help forum, but this is still a production thread, and has more information to show then looking for help.
I do have another thread up for proofreading volunteers.
But, I'm desperately looking for a director for this project now that Marvellous had to drop out. I will make a synopsis sometime in the future, but for now, just look at the character descriptions below.
The codename is still being used until I can confirm a definite title, but, it's based off of an already favorable title that I made up.
Anyways, here's a brief overview of the story's characters- their bios pretty much paint a hinting picture of what's to be expected in the final product:
Main Characters:
Marshall Haber – The lead law enforcement officer on the space station Acadia. Having a very simplified view of his job- stop criminals, no matter what- Haber has been shunted off to Acadia by superiors who tire of his rejection of authority and his unorthodox-perhaps even brutal-methods. Having an aversion to the almost claustrophobic station, 48 million miles from Earth, Haber is simply trying to figure out where he belongs.
Dr. Bridwell – Inventor of a process which uses exhaust from machines and reconverts it into energy, sort of like a mechanical respiration and photosynthesis. Before he is able to patent the idea, he is pursued by numerous corporations wanting to capitalize on the trillions this discovery will generate. Wanting his discovery to benefit everyone, not just a corporation, Dr. Bridwell has come to the Acadia station to hide. But when you’re being chased by men with money to throw out a window and not care about, there’s nowhere to hide, not even in space…
Lt. Toschi – The second-in-command in the law enforcement office. Toschi takes his job seriously, and ends up being the man Haber best identifies with in the department, which is made up of the Marshall, three senior officers, and several junior layabouts. Though he allows for the occasional mistake to be made by his men, Toschi usually demands the best from his officers, which makes him an unpopular leader- but Toschi cares not about popularity, he cares about subordination, which his men always have.
Sgt. Montone – One of the two sergeants and the second senior officer in the department. Montone is generally the man who can appear a competent police officer, but often has no idea what the hell he’s doing. He frequently looks to guidance from the other senior officers, and specifically Marshall Haber.
Sgt. Delahunt – The third senior officer. Delahunt is a more sensible officer than Montone, but while Montone is trying his best, Delahunt seems to hold back, downplaying his superiority. He associates better with the junior officers than he does with his fellow senior officers, and so he often acts as a sort of go-between.
Alderson – He has been hired by a corporation to perform a job. What that is can’t be explained now, but you can be sure it isn’t exactly legal.
Boyle – A fellow conspirator of Alderson’s. They are both being paid very well to perform a job, but it should also be said that corporate bigwigs like to tie up their loose ends, should something go wrong. NOTE: Boyle is never seen, only referenced to.
Dr. Brewster – The head of the infirmary and pathology department on Acadia. Being the only real doctor in charge of a group of nurses and paramedics, Brewster is frequently stressed by the fact that she is the only person qualified to diagnose, dismiss, and effectively treat patients. This is not exactly easy on a station of several thousand. She has a grudging respect for Marshall Haber, and he for her, although they’re not above making smart remarks about one another.
Hirayasu – The representative of the corporation Global Dynamics. He is the man sent in when there are…tensions that must be sorted out. In a cruder sense, he is a corporate problem remover. His presence on Acadia can only have something to do with the man everyone wants…
Koepp – Assistant to Hirayasu. Not much more than an aide who provides his boss with everything he needs. Considering the line of business Hirayasu is in, Koepp might be more than an ordinary aide…
Rudd – Manager of Space Station Acadia. He is a man who likes things to be nice and orderly, but is not overly interested in enforcing the system to the letter, which is why the police force is relatively small. In the interest of keeping his station running on funding, he likes problems to be sorted out as quickly as possible.
Holton – Head of maintenance and waste management on the station. He is a gruff man who does not particularly like his dirty, low-level job, but there is little else for him to do. Maintenance is a job that commands little respect, but entails much responsibility, something which Holton resents, particularly when his monotonous routine is interrupted by “intrusions” by other departments.
From the writer of Pookashell's In The Cover of Darkness and Rough Transit: J. Latham, comes his adaption of the original story, written by me, The Maverick (Ephraim's Struggle; The Remedy; The Attack of The Chicken; Paix). Look out around the first quarter of 2009 for it's release, as I find a director (Marvellous is looking at the script, but, unless I get more volunteers to read it with an interest in directing it, then, he will most definitely get the job if he's interested), and go over together with him on how to go with the production, I'll be giving you a better release date.
Hopefully, and not definitively, I'll be giving the script to some people who'd like to co-executive producers, with my TM company, Nexus Interactive Studios, maybe K4 for example, who was indeed involved with his series first episode in the Conquest saga.
Be sure to watch the hyperlinked videos, especially The Remedy, Conquest: Beginnings and In The Cover of Darkness.
If you'd like to have a look at this 42/58 (that depends if you have word 2007 or 2003, which divides it in more pages) page script (which is subject to changes towards the ending and grammar only), then please add me, and ask me on Skype (my ID: Nexusinteract, or The Maverick), or PM me if you'd like me to give it to you, of course with an e-mail address. Salut.
Please, as long as you have made a few films, especially those that have been awarded for some contest, or any sleeper hits that you still want other people to be aware of (think Affari, Yamimarik's Redemption or Snakeeater42's Letter something movie), then please ask me to see the script, and decide if you would like to direct it- but if you're already proofreading it, then you still may ask me permission to direct it.
