Step One: Win the Lottery
Apr. 5th, 2007 05:57 amStep Two: Use money to create my cable network rival to the SciFi Channel.
Step Three: Create this teaser commercial...
SCENE: New York City, at the pits of the Twin Towers. A ragged STREET PREACHER, dressed in a ragged tweed suit and a dirty lab coat, shouts at PASSERSBY through a megaphone.
PREACHER: People of this great city, stop looking down! Stop walking in Fear! There is more to life than this monument to human hatred and ignorance! There is whole UNIVERSE around us, filled with MAD, BEAUTIFUL ideas! If only you would only open your eyes and SEE!
Scene: The passing people ignore him, hurrying past, refusing to see. A couple of COPS look at him suspiciously and start muttering into their radios. The STREET PREACHER's shoulders slump down in defeat.
KID (offscreen): Can I see, Mister?
POV STREET PREACHER: He looks down to see the KID looking up at him, in open, innocent curiousity.
The STREET PREACHER smiles down on him, pulls out a leather flight helmet and goggles, setting them on his head. Then he whips off his lab coat with a dramatic flourish, revealing a Buck Rogers styled jet back. He hits a botton on his control belt and ZOOMS off into the stratosphere, leaving the KID openmouthed in awe.
TITLE CARD: Imagination can take you anywhere.
