Title: FS2 thinking films(N.B: THIS IS NOT A REAL FILM)
Post by: thegreenmonk on January 04, 2007, 01:42:08 pm
Hi guys, my mate and I are doing a assignment for a-level english where we have to produce a script of film scene. We are both freespace fans and were gonna attempt one in the freespace universe.  However, we felt that we needed some help figuring who we should hypothetically cast. 

Please stick to serious suggestions, although decent comic suggestions will be taken onboard. :):)

Alpha 1 - the dude
Alpha 2 - the best mate
Alpha 3 - teh experianced vet
Alpha 4 - some random but cool ass pilot
The classic female lead (ok so i watched wing commander the other night)
Some random expendable pilot 1
Some random expendable pilot 2
Bosch
Bosch's manservant
Command
Vasudan 1,2,3,4,5 voices (this should be fun)
Admiral Petrach
Random Aide
SOC commander Snipes
Shivans voice (i know they dont speak, but neither does chewbacca. so humour me :) )

Thanks for helping guy (this thread may get me shot :P)

you cant do shivans, since you never actually see em, unless your going for the "Aliens" approach

Anyone remember that guy that came by, posing as a real screenwriter who was going to write the FS2 movie?

if your thinking a film,
a plot = NTF unleashes the shivans via knossos and the NTC Trinity, meanwhile while the shivans are gathering strengh and momentum the ntf starts to finish its research in the end the shivans have contact but the shivans think otherwise.

a storyline =
Chapter 1
- End of shivan conflict cutscene, lucifer.
-the GTVA Formation and assembly.
-Deneb ancient artifact that opens the knossos.
-the start of the NTF rebellion.
-NTF exploration of the Knossos.
-the Retirment of the GTD Bastion and the Launch of the GTD Aquitaine
-the uprising of one pilot in the GTVA.

Chapter 2
-the pilot and his/her life so far.
-the Quarterdeck master and breifing room.
-the first fight and the NTF icenci is discovered from within a rock!
-debreifing.
-the pilot is his/her life after the conflict.
-a cutscene and the pilot talking about several more fights with the NTF and the discovery of the knossos by the GTVA.
-the first sight of the Shivans and the NTC Vigilant at the Knossos.

Chapter 3
-Adimral of the GTD Aquitaine makes a speech against the shivans
-more fights against the shivans and friends lost, witch make alpha 1 more determined than ever and a huge dogfight ensues in emotions.
-the NTF Dies.
-Vasudans discover a communication from the SC Raphaim and the NTF Iceni (onboard action from both shivan ship and the iceni).
- the suicide wing in SOC check out the shivans
-the Shivans start their final conflict at Capella.
-the bastion conflict and destruction.
-capella supernova.
-adimral of the Aquitaine presents his final speech about the losses including alpha 1.

characters=
Adimral Petrach
Captain Roemig
Lt Rusk
Adimral Koth
Adimral Bosch

Vasudans
Terran pilots and ship commanders
Lt Commander Snipes
Female commander of the GTCv Lysander.

Sean Connery for Alpha 3 - the experienced vet.

I would just pick a few people from  BSG too.  Yet another sci-fi crossover, just like FarGate.

All you need for a cast is Bosch, Mr. T and Carl.
