Post your idea for the next SciFi TV movie

[charlie and algernon]

Choose the plot and the washed up C-list actor as the main star



The Nazi's unleash an army of Raptors in New York City in 1945 in the hopes of turning the war. The only one who can stop them is an alcoholic traffic Cop, played by Stephen Baldwin.

1. Space: 2029 (the miniseries)

Based off of "Space: 1999" except when the moon is blown away, the focus of the show is everyone on earth and how they survive the myriad of problems that came about due to the moon's disappearance. Flood, earthquakes, people in positions of power more worried about a hangnail than how to direct people to save their society, et cetera...

[NewJeffCT]

2. I think that one is already in the works!

"Big Apple Raptors" is the working title.

j/k

How about, after Earth is rendered uninhabitable because of global warming & nuclear war, the remaining humans set up a place on Mars, only to find out that there is something else living there as well.

[charlie and algernon]

5. i wouldn't be surprised, it's got nazis, raptors and Stephen Baldwin

how could SciFi NOT do that movie, lol.


So what TV movie actor is the star of yours?

[NewJeffCT]

6. Let's see

How about the guy from Parker Lewis Can't Lose? Corin Nemec or something like that? (I've seen him in a few sci-fi movies) He can be the leader of the band of survivors, with Richard Grieco as his chief rival, with Amber Benson and Amy Acker as the female leads.

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. Someone else remembers "Parker Lewis Can't Lose"?

:loveya: :hi:

[kentauros]

25. Corin Nemec was Michael Shanks replacement

on Stargate: SG1 for about a year. He was great in it. Then again, give any decent actor good material to work with and you'll get good results ;)

3. Nessie vs. Champ!

Because of pollution and global warming mutations make both these lake monsters grow legs (think Peter Benchleys shark with legs monster) and they battle for custody of the finger lakes of NY. Starring Bruce Boxleitner (sorry Bruce, loved ya in B5 but you seem to make an appearance in an awful lot of schlock)

[charlie and algernon]

4. that has the potential of lots of awful, obvious CGI

SciFi is writing down your idea!

[NewJeffCT]

7. Bruce Boxleitner? Schlock?

You think the Bone Eater & King of the Lost World were schlock? I mean, high concept sci-fi doesn't get much better than that.

[kentauros]

26. Well, he is going to be in Tron 2.0

:D

8. Retaining a bit of familiarity

Captain Jack teams up with Sawyer and Freckles. Only they're pursued by Buffy and Spike. Mal Reynolds takes them to the Australian hideout at Drover's Run, where Lee Adama is hiding out amongst the jackeroos and hooking up with Tess - but that's another spin-off.

[leeroysphitz]

9. "Dingo Man"

Crocodile Dundee's Paul Hogan is bitten by a radioactive Dingo and begins to ravage the outback in search of fresh babies to eat and Michael Gross (reprising his role from the Tremors franchise) is the only man in a position to stop him.

The original working title was set to be "Man-Dingo" but in a move that shacked the entertainment world executives at the Sci-Fi channel, in a radical break with tradition, understood it would be a terrible idea and changed it.

[Dr. Strange]

19. Rats.

I was looking forward to Man-Dingo.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Global warming causes the grass on millions of suburban lawns to grow abnormally fast

and become carnivorous. Homeowners and lawn service people begin to disappear. Danny Bonaduce plays the first homeowner to be eaten by his lawn, followed by his wife, played by Margot Kidder, who hears his screams over the sound of the mower and is devoured when she plunges into the undulating lawn to find him. A team of scientists led by Bronson Pinchot is unable to stop the carnage, and the horror continues until the world is saved by a courageous Chemlawn guy played by David Caruso.

[TZ]

12. .

:rofl:
I'd pay real money to see Danny Bonaduce get eaten by carnivorous lawns..:thumbsup:

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. That was wonderful.

I attest to your brilliance in leaving the last two words to be the thing putting it totally over the top: David Caruso. Think of how many sunglass-adjusting moments he could have!

[charlie and algernon]

18. awsome!

:thumbsup:

[YankeyMCC]

22. You are full of ...

talent my friend! :)

[SoxFan]

27. Forget Sci-Fi. Get Shymalan on the line.

[PVnRT]

37. +1

:thumbsup:

[TK421]

14. I'm not sure...but it will most certainly star Eric Roberts n/t

[NewJeffCT]

23. I saw him in the Sci-Fi special "Cyclops" a month back or so

playing an evil Roman emperor...

[TK421]

24. Yes...I watched it too, and it was very painful n/t

[Dr. Strange]

15. A man is eating an apple one day...

when he bites into a worm. It turns out that the worm came from soil next to a nuclear power plant that had a leak. So the worm is radioactive. Oh, and the ground was also an ancient Native American burial ground. So the worm is also haunted. Anyway, the guy ends up with the powers of a haunted worm. He can wiggle through the ground and scare the shit out of people. It's called Scary Worm Man. Or something more dramatic, maybe.
Anyway, he starts taking his anger out on people, but then has a change of heart and by the end of the miniseries, decides to become a crime-fighter. Starring Emmanuel Lewis as the frightening worm dude.
If ratings are good, saddle up for a regular series, to take the place of Battlestar Galactica.

[TZ]

16. is he related to the "flukeman"

from the x-files?:)

[Fire Walk With Me]

17. Rename it "Scary Worm Man Thingie Invasion" and you've got a deal.

[Dr. Strange]

20. Deal!

Now I need to go work on my idea for a superhero miniseries.

[Fire Walk With Me]

30. We can still call it an Invasion even if there's only one scary worm man thingie.

And that's a green light on your superhero series too! We'll get Queen to do the soundtrack.

[Mike 03]

21. Hell, why give it away when you can potentially make five hundred thousand with it?

Studio development right now is so desperate for good ideas that you could probably walk in there with an 800 word synopsis and a mock-up poster with a catchy title and make a deal on the spot.

[kentauros]

28. on "The Most Stupidest Night on Television" ?

:D

[charlie and algernon]

29. you mean you don't find cheap CGI Raptors and Cyclops scary?

wassa matta wit you?

[kentauros]

34. I'm more attracted to the stupider plots that actually involve some kind of science.

Like the idea that a black hole created by a particle collider would remain on the surface of the planet and not be affected by the gravity well of the planet, thus sinking to the center. And that an electricity monster would also be associated with the black hole (as if the idea of a black hole sucking all the atmosphere off the surface before it even gets to much of the rest of the matter around it and all the storm problems that would cause isn't enough for the plot alone.) And that yet another massive explosion would destroy the black hole ( :wtf: ) and everyone would be saved.

I wonder if a truly depressing, no hope for survival at all, actual end of the world scenario would sell? Would they go for no one living through it, maybe even all of humanity dying off quickly, and the world actually being utterly and totally destroyed? Oh wait, that's kinda being done, only with another utterly inane movie called 2012 :P

[Taverner]

31. Half Chihuahua - Half Man - ALL TROUBLE

When a government scientist gets fused with his chihuahua dog - see the hilarity that ensues.

Starring Rob Schneider.

[rcrush]

33. Rated PG13?

[rcrush]

32. Tremors 9 - Tremors from Mexico.

Mexican chiuahua worms terrorize a border town starring that big dude that was in all the Desperado movies.

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm871997184/nm0001803

Danny Trejo

[philosophie_en_rose]

35. Coultergeist - the Miniseries

What do Stephen Baldwin, Patricia Heaton, and Gary Coleman share? Why, a body of course! See these legendary actors come back - as ghosts! - to help a challenged single woman possessed - by Ann Coulter! - in the mean political world of Washington D.C. - in 2099!

[Dr. Strange]

36. Jumping the Dark

The tale of an actor who has joined several television shows with unfortunate results: before the season ends, one of the stars ends up dead. The police suspect him after the third time it happens, but of course they have no proof.
I just got off the phone, and sure enough, Ted McGinley is available! Let's move on this!

[PVnRT]

38. Zombies In Da Hood

Hollywood-style gangbangers using ten years out-of-date slang are confronted by a zombie outbreak in south-central L.A. To make things worse, L.A. is also having it's first blizzard in recorded history. Oh, and a 9.0 magnitude earthquake hits at the same time. There will need to be some scenes of cheesy racial harmony between gang members and cops (think "Volcano").

The script writes itself, if one is even needed.

[Dr. Strange]

39. Um...

The script writes itself, if one is even needed.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[crimsonblue]

40. It's a three step story arc...

Step 1: cut a hole in the box.


Step 2: put your junk in that box.


Step 3: make her open the box.
