A new, better movie?


Well, for starters I'm currently in college for Video Production and CGI Coordinator of Ethics. I'm also in an English class for scripting.

Thus far, I have a script 72 pages done of a new take on the Anaconda world. It's far better I think.

I was wondering, of your guys' opinion, if this should be another movie in the monstrocity of a series, or should this be a fresh start?

I know Anaconda is a...poorly made movie. So are the 'sequels', but I feel this new take I have will be an extraordinary thrill.

Death's aren't as predictable. Seventeen people have died thus far in that 72 pages as mentioned before. And - It's not something like man-slaughter just for the bloody gore scenes (like the 3rd and 4th)

There is a rather strong-hearted girl for the lead. That b!tch in the 3rd and 4th edition, wasn't a "ripley" (not that that's what I'm aiming for, but I love to compare strengths to Weaver...always)

The lead is a girl we can actually confine in. The beginning of this perhapsed movie, she is a simple loving mother and wife. Later, she becomes the strong-hearted bada$$ everyone enjoys to see.

The threat of "more" has always been the main code of ethics in these snake movies. But - my movie is only consistant with one *beep* I know everyone believes more than one is better. But - they've ALL been killed too easily in my opinion. My one could out-do anything you throw at it.

Killer ending. Just because I haven't written it, doesn't mean I don't know what I want. It takes time to write of all the video shots, etc. Anyways - my ending is unstoppably insatiable. It's something to die for. Even Good Morning America, who I talked to to sponser the movie, said my pitch of an ending was "out of this world" and I quote them. I'm not going to say anything about it, spoilers aren't my thing. But I will say this... every snake movie I've seen, they can't kill the snake with a multiple rounds of ammunition, but somehow they manage to work something out in the end. That's insane. And - something I'm avoiding. Definitely.

So, now then... I want you to comment, quote, etc on anything. Plus - answer my question about a sequel or a new series. If I decide on a new-series, I'm thinking of MUTATION as the title.

P.S. The snakes aren't goverment made. Or made by a plant (Andaconda 2 reference). I hate using the same idea over and over. Every snake movie thus far had something to do with a goverment plan. That's just...idiotic. And boring nonetheless.

No, it's copyrighted. You can't just make a new Matrix movie unless you only plan to show it to a few friends or of it so terrible bad the people behind Matrix won't notice it. It's not possible to just continue a series without contacting the owners.
