After having losing count of the disaster flicks and the mini cable movie series, as if there isnt enough of the Hollywood movies,
I am more than tempted to write my own disaster flick.
For starters, you need a disaster.
(My cooking which most of the time is a disaster by itself, doesnt yet qualify for a mega disaster.
We are all alive :-))
Aliens,earthquakes,meteorites,gigantic abberations,insects,animals are all out. These are ancient disasters.We need something new.
How about the magma in the center of earth stopping the rotation?Already done.Do not miss the wonderful movie The Core.
Even bare minimum knowledge of high school Physics is enough for you to appreciate this spoof of HiTech movies.
(I am writing up a commentary about this movie and will post it soon.)
How about unexplainable alien life forms, mutated creatures,alien-human combos, humanoids, machines?Done in too many movies.
Looks like the latest trend is the climatic changes that holds key..
So,
How about tectonic plates reversing...Am just seeing this usa network flick called 10.5 and its sequel 10.5 The Apocalypse. Well, to be truthful, this flick just flipped me and I lost it. How do you stop faults, create another..this is just too much.
So we are out of that one too....What more disasters can you predict?
Are we running out of disasters of global proportions?Nope..we just need more imagination.
So heres a few.....
How about the moon crashing onto earth?
Or, The sun dwarfing?
Or, Earth running out of oxygen?
Or, Big Sink - dats opposite of Big Bang?
I think I will choose one of the above.
If you have any interesting disasters, please let me know.
So now that I have a disaster, whats next?
HiTech gizmos, unbelievable gadgets, unlikely heroes, unconventional methods, untried rescue operations, sad background score, an attitude ridden male lead(s), a skinny-dont-care-about-dressing-up-yet-looking-top lady lead, some history and friction between the heroes, a scorned hero, and a last minute unpredictable(is it) goof-up in the machinery, and finally the HERO-number-UNO who sacrifices his life to save mankind.
Well if he doesnt, since technically he is also a part of mankind, he would have also perished.
So in a Die-or-Die situation, our HERO-number-UNO dies and becomes a DOUBLE HERO.
And other survivors are chosen in a lottery.
As always the core of the story line, Any disaster should first strike, the United States.
At least one thing thats a benefit is , we have scores of people re researching the geography and the history to excavate untread disasters, that there is a chance that something useful might come out.
P.S.
A guide to making a Tamil disaster movie.
Just do a remake of any hollywood disaster movie.
Half the people will not understand and rest would have already seen the original.
And you have a tamil disaster movie.
