| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Actually, one of our very own even gave me a valuable plot point (referred to as an 'adaptation' in the screenwriting profession) last year that I'm going to employ in my script. The idea is inspired by the movies "Equilibrium," "Battlefield Earth," "The Children of Men" and "Doomsday" and one of my favorite books "Fahrenheit 451." Here we go. Untitled Dystopian Action Thriller Story and Screenplay by Yorick Adaptation by Lamna
Now let's all try to fill in the gaps. Any ideas? Suggestions? Edited by Yorick, Oct 5 2010, 12:42 AM.

That sounds... A lot like Equilibrium. I suggest Keanu Reeves for the main role. |

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar. "The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming Tree That Owns Itself

Don't even joke! Besides, the character is in his early-to-mid twenties. |

Then I suggest Shia Lebeouf. Or perhaps Michael Cera, he's quite popular these days. |

I don't care about actors' ethnicities. Just be convincing and you'll be cast. Like I've said, the character is in his early-mid twenties. And can we try to figure out what happens in between discovery and the end where the regime is destroyed? I know the regime will be destroyed when their hypocrisy is exposed but how can we do that? |

Grrr I cannot bear to watch films set in England when the cast is american... Well i think a cool scene would be maybe a jousting tournament in the ruins of Twickenham...maybe thats how the protatgonist gets noticed by leadership as an excellent jouster Would you like some help with the english setting?
