[edit] Light

Nemo's idea to do a Mad Max inspired/reimagining movie. Perhaps somewhere between Mad Max, and Mad Max II in source style.

[edit] Similarities

  • Post-civilisation, pre-apocalypse
  • Car-centric
  • Energy scarcity

[edit] Differences

  • Toyota Sera as interceptor
    • As hybrid
    • Rear 'tanks' are battery bays
    • Bodywork covered in solar

[edit] 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? :)
