JOHN
STORM SEQUEL:
Thonis-Heracleion was
Egypt’s greatest port for much of the first millennium B.C. before
Alexander the Great established the Alexandrian metropolis in 331 B.C. It is unclear how and exactly why the city sank into the sea
(some time in the first millennium),
but the discoveries at Egypt’s primary customs port have been revealing,
except for the
whereabouts of Queen Cleopatra's tomb.
The Book Chapters that the draft scenes are to be based on, are published
live for collaboration development purposes, with a sequence derived from the
Chapters, supplemented with other (unpublished) writings as we
progress. The final order for the proposed screenplay may be the subject of
additional drafts to suit production of the final movie
(producers/directors/actors). To be in a position to gain an idea of style
and commercial value, please request a copy of our Kulo-Luna (draft)
screenplay. See our terms and conditions. Please note that the Cleopatra
scripts will not be published, but my be requested when completed.
