I have already told you my wish to make a movie on wipeout's universe. I have continued to work on it and I submit you the project as it is for moment in the purpose to receive your reactions. The idea to realize a feature film is becoming interestless according to me, because it is obvious that is very difficult to write a good screenplay (just see races' movies such as Driven, Days of thunder, Grand prix etc... the sequences are maybe impressive but stories are not really interesting).
When I tried to solve this problem has come to me the idea to change the movie's type. Instead of searching a banal story, the idea is to make a "stylish video clip" which will narrate chronologically the different stages which have allowed the rise of the anti-gravity revolution. The clip would start with Sir Isaac Newton and his famous apple, very symbolic scene. Then we would follow the other specific steps, (I will detail them later) this has the advantage to combine all the ships and race tracks from the first to the last wipeout. The clip will be seven or eight minutes long, without dialogs just one song. At this moment I use "Rowla" from Underworld, which fits perfectly. The high point of all this will be to shoot it using the most spectacular film format according to me, the great Showscan. The clip's duration and type are appropriate. For those who don't know it, it's a 70 mm film with a framerate of 60 fps. With such a thing, it will be very amazing and spectacular. It will make honor to the speed of the game.
Main steps of the screenplay :
1 - Introduction with Sir Isaac Newton (the wellbeing of the gravity, laws of the gravitation)
2 - First attempts of human fly (the intention to escape from earth gravity)
3 - First car races (idea of contest, beat speed records)
4 - The conquest of space (pushing back the limits, the welfare of weightlessness)
5 - The discovery of different sort of technologies (superconductivity, first levitation train etc...)
6 - Introducing Pierre Belmondo (library sequence, see "Fan Fiction Profile of Pierre Belmondo" from Mark Hancok. I find this similarity with Newton very interesting and I hope the author will let me his copyright !)
7 - Development of A-G technology (The World Technology Symposium, the Nevada desert show)
8 - Development of the leagues (F-3600, F-5000, F-7200, F-9000, F-X300)
