Here’s an idea I’ve had for a great movie for sometime now, ever since I watched Easy Rider weeks ago.
In the near future – or the present in a parallel world – a comet from an extrasolar system comes to Earth. Upon coming upon our world, this comet breaks apart into several fragments. These fragments all strike the world; while they don’t kill the world like the comet alone would have done had it remained intact, they have the same devasting effect that hundreds of atom bombs exploding all over the world would have done, killing millions across the globe.
These comet fragments aren’t the average comet fragments, however; frozen in the ice of the comet fragments are alien microbes. Upon striking the Earth, the ice containing these microbes melts, forming vapour which billows out in hundreds of kilometres. Countelss villages, towns, and cities get envelped int these vapours, and the people breathe it in.
At least half of these people get infected by these alien microbes and these microbes infest their nervous systems. Slowly, those unimmune to the microbes slowly die as these microbes cause their nervous systyems to shut down. Once their nervous systmes shut down, they die. But lo and behold, these microbes then take control of these lifeless bodies, turning them into puppets.
Essentially, these microbe infested bodies become zombies. Unlike your typical zombie, though, they aren’t violetn brain/flesh eating monsters. They’re mindless, harmless, and just meander about like lobotmoy patients. Howver, they’re contagious; any average man who comes into contact with these zombies – or slombies as I like to call them (I got the idea to call them that from the slow mutants from the Dark Tower books seris) is in danger of becoming a slombie if they aren’t immune to the microbes.
Thus mankind becomes divided. The survivors of the comet strike become divided. Those who aren’t immune to the slombie plague wall themselves up in sheltered communes which those who are immune but remain carriers of the plague remain out in the open, the inheritors of a post-apocalyptic wasteland where the individual has to fight to stay alive.
Anyway, in this post-apocalypitc wasteladn, there’s this one man: a guy who had a beloved sister who become a slombie after the comet fragments devasted the Earth and contamined the planet with the slombie plague. He’s the protagonist of the story. He goes from town-to-town on his solar powered motprcycle, trading in mundane foodstuffs like chocolate chips for shotgun shells (because money is now worhtless in this society, see?).
Anyway, the protagonist comes to this town where these lowlives uses slombies as prostitutes – they’re not alive, y’see, so they can’t protess – pulling out their teeth and such so they can give perfect frictionless blowjobs. Our protagonists hates this, y’see – he hates seeing the dead used in such a profane manner – so he torches the slowbie brothel (which once was a church, which only pisses him off more).
Anyway, the protagonists eventually comes across a living prostitute – not a slombie – who is the spitting image of his long-dead sister. Seeing this woman treated like trash, he fights to free her from this ugly pornographic existence, killing her pimps with his double-barreled shotgun until he finally manages to liberate her. THen, at the end, the protagonists ride off into the sunset on his solar powered motorcycle, the liberated former prostitute who looks like his sister accompanying him.
The score for this movie would be written and performed by Jagori and Christian Tanna. The movie would be shot on location in New Mexico (for all those wonderous desert mesas) and Vancouver Island (for all those beautfil trees).
