I've long been obsessed with the concept of fighting, be it in real life, movies, or video games. I'm a martial artist myself, and a huge fighting game fan. This passion has influenced a lot of my story ideas, and I've even written plots to my own video game concepts. However, I'm no programmer. And so, film is a much more accessible outlet to express this passion and bring my story to life. If any of this piques your interest, please look over my plot synopsis and character profiles below. Any and all feedback is appreciated:
"Project Dragon" (working title) concerns the seemingly disconnected lives of various fighters going about their individual business, who are slowly drawn together by outside forces. Chief among these forces is Crimson Lotus, a Nazi splinter group formed post-WW2 and headed by an occult researcher obsessed with harnessing "Ki" or life energy, as a means to advance human evolution and create utopia. The organization is funded by front conpanies and criminal operations, and has ties to various crime syndicates across the globe. When martial artists start dropping off the map and reappearing as attack dogs for Crimson Lotus, events are set in motion that will draw the ideal candidates for research into a violent tournament, hosted by a deposed prince-turned-puppet of the organization. The true purpose of the tournament is known only to few, and will be but the first step in a campaign for global conquest.
Main Characters:
Shinsei - a Japanese martial artist who's spent the last six years living at a church in rural Romania, he has only fractured memories of his past. When hints of the truth point to the tournament, that past will come back to haunt him.
Taepung - a Korean business tycoon and champion fighter bored with the lack of challenge in his life. The reemergence of a familiar face springs him into action - and violent insanity.
Veronica - a mysterious woman with centuries of knowledge and strange vampiric powers, she may hold the answers to many mysteries.
Mei-Liang - an Interpol agent working undercover both to bring a terroristic war criminal to justice, and to uncover the truth behind a deep government conspiracy.
John Thratta - a US Navy Seal mourning the loss of his CO and best friend, he attends the tournament when his friend's killer is revealed as the contest's host.
I'd be glad to answer any questions about the project or hear any advice. Thank you for your time!
