Script Outline for Science Fiction Movie?
I am writing a script that I hope to produce and film later in life once I attend the New York Film Academy and secure financial backing.

The Universe we used to wonder about is now part of humanities reclamation. It is through wormholes that the Military continues their obsession with space.

The Equis Star Ship carrying BC a black commando and some space tourists along with a Ripley character encounter a core space station devoid of life. They dock and discover that the platform has been depressurising every 24 days i.e except from the isolation suites the whole place has been cleaned by trhowing everything out into space. They discover plasma burns on some of the ship whilst they transit it to their destination.
The Ripley character shocks the audience by reversing what you expected from such a character so early on. She now looks only after herself and leaves the crew at the mercy of the energy synced creatures on board.

(I will develop this and please do not have any illusions that I intend to have a copycat Ripley from Alien and Aliens. The whole point is that the audience feels they know what to expect and their views are quickly changed. The energy synced creatures are Aliens and this script does not become too Sci- Fi nor does it become horror. It retains the principles that made Aliens so succesful that whilst having complex ideals the screenplay retains the immense fear and action needed. The rest of the script is not fleshed out but I wanted a general idea of what people think and how I can devlop it? There are some brilliant lines but I cannot publish them as of yet

I will not be using the name Ripley I just wanted people to get a sense of the character. As a response to the second answer please do not be silly if you post such opinions clarify them please


The character will not be named Ripley I only used that name to represent some of her attributes

good luck.

ive written 4 good outlines so far.. can i get an agent... not a chance. its not as easy as one is led to believe.

and theres the subject matter. alan dean foster didnt just write teh alien quadrilogy... read enders game... and speaker for the dead... being original isnt as difficult as you think, what is difficult is getting a publisher interested... they DONT like to take risks. they hate controversy.. (remember salman rushdie) oh, they can deal with controversy, but they dont court it.

theres nothing wrong with any of my stories, theyre well written and developed..but they are controversial...

i rewrote the bible and filled in the blanks before and after, i rip darwin to bits, and show the catholic church to be a bunch of megalomaniacs on an ego trip. as chris carter said. the truth is out there.. but its getting someone to listen, who actually has some balls... thats the trick.

Being a huge Si-Fi fan myself I think your idea can be really interesting. My only suggestion is don't back away from the Si-Fi too much. Best of luck!
