This is where Nemo (or others of course) note down movie ideas...
Mad Max redux
Nemo's idea to do a Mad Max inspired movie. Perhaps somewhere between Mad Max, and Mad Max II in source style.
Similarities
- Post-civilisation, pre-apocalypse
- Car-centric
- Energy scarcity
Differences
- Toyota Sera as interceptor
- As hybrid
- Rear 'tanks' are battery bays
- Bodywork covered in solar
- Scavenge for not only fuel, but better batteries and solar panels
- 'vampire' prongs to suck energy
- More city based
Outer Darkness
Idea from here: Outer Darkness on BLDG BLOG
The basic idea... space station/ship which slowly loses all internal lights, plunging the crew into darkness both physically and mentally... . Psychological drama and descent into madness. Minimal visuals, this could be made with a low budget, but requires high quality writing.
To quote my comment to the blog itself...
"
- premise
- travel to the outer planets where the sun is dimmer.
- problem
- lights going out one by one on the multi-year mission.
- visually
- the movie is increasingly dark as essential services in the 'dark' parts of the ship require work, and only a limited number of torches are available. Ambient starlight/sunlight makes for a minimal amount on screen most of the time, but with an increasingly claustrophobic feel to it...
- climax
- slingshot around (say) jupiter... the last original light fails just before the sun also dissapears from view...
- cameo reference
- next line would be "my god, it's full of stars" ;)
...mostly though, this sounds awesome, and with the right characters and buildup... damn! Can I throw this idea around to some ideas people I know? :)
