Am I killing my own script / treatment? Whenever I start my treatment I always get stuck at about 4 scenes in
I came up with a list of ALL of the things the movie can't have, and can have. I set them up as rules.
The premise of the movie is. There is something in the Cargo hold of the HMHS Britannic that both the good
guy and the baddie wants. I havent decided what yet. The only way to get it out is to Bring the ship up from the bottom og the sea... I have even taken in account the Damage the ship suffered during its impact to the bottom. The good guys do some repair work (Its talked about but never seen)
I'm following the william c martell made for cable formula keep all the big action outside, that can be done with Miniatures, or VFX and stock footage, keep the big drama/smaller action inside. since I plan on making this myself.
they dont make many good old-fashioned adventure movies anymore, its all any movie that ends with the word "man" or "woman" or a toy line movie... i wanna go back to erroll flynn, three musketeers, and victorian literature type movies. stuff with sophistication, class.
1. The hero cannot have superpowers/ paranormal powers such as flying, telekenisis, superstreinght etc.
2. a comic book feel (within reason of course)
3. a disembodied villain (head on life support
4. a villain or hero with a defority hiding/life supporting mask.
