Three Thousand Years
Joe Diamond: Christian Bale
Axe Mason: Lawrence Fishburne
Flor: Scarlett Johansson
Producer: Christopher Nolan
Director: Paul Greengrass
Genre: Action Adventure/ Sci Fi
Plot: Joe Diamond is a private detective, who has almost cracked a case he has long been working on against crime lord Axe Mason. The film starts with Joe fighting in a final chase and showdown. The chase leads to an abandoned cryogenics building, where they fight and both accidentally fall into a cryogenic freezer, which automatically shuts them in.
Joe wakes up 3000 years into the future, to find that Axe is not in the machine anymore. The future world is a strange new place to Joe, with an oppressive, crime led dictator. Joe bumps into Flor, an orphaned product of this society who is living on the streets, and knows the ways of this city and helps Joe get around. Joe feels he must finish what he has started, and becomes determined to find Axe and finish him off. Axe quickly adapts to this new environment, and continues the life of crime he followed in the 21st century, developing a new underground gang and rising back to the top of the crime world, becoming its new king.
After lots of adventure, Joe finds Axe and kills him, restoring the city back to democracy. Joe marries Flor and lives happily with her in the new society.
Setting: The city will be grey and sooty, with lots of skyscrapers and factories. There will be hovercraft flying all over the city. Most of the life will consist underground where there will be many different races bustling together in a hive of activity. There will be lots of different languages spoken, and market places and food stands, selling lots of strange meats and stews.
Marketing Plan: Follow the usual A-A marketing plan, with teasers and then full posters, as well as a website following up to the film with blogs, clips etc. An action packed fast paced cinema and TV spot trailer.
Inspiration: Futurama, Total Recall, Robocop 2, Blade Runner
