Just FYI the opening 8000 BC part was originally meant to be much longer and would have opened on hunters returning to the village. A strange shape was seen passing against the moon as they roasted the Animals they had caught for Dinner. Not saying you should incorporate this but just giving you some information.
Oh, I know all about the extended opening; I even included it in the first draft of this script. During the revision process, though, I felt it gave too much away too soon, so I decided to remove it.
There is a great chapter in the novel called “In The Beginning…” And it gives a lot of history to the Enslaved Earth people and the uprising too.
I used the novelization as a reference when working on this screenplay, so I’ve borrowed a number of concepts and ideas from it, including some of the stuff revolving around the early days of Ra’s empire.
Keep up the good work 😃
Thanks. 😃
