Plan for a UK (low to no budget) zombie film.
Okay, well its a plan for a film, still dont know if itll be a short or a feature, im looking to shoot it next year sometime and am planning on taking out a loan to film this and various other short film ideas.
Syndrome
Story follows a reporter trying to expose the governments dodgy dealings , it centres around the gulf war and gulf war syndrome, a meeting is setup between the reporter and a rogue scientist who feels guilt over what he and his team have done.
Gulf war syndrome is the result of a cheap concoction of drugs that were thrown together at the last minute before the war began to protect the soldiers against biological weapons, the vaccines aim was to protect the immune system from foreign bodies, breaking down the toxins before they could take full effect.
In the scientists haste 3 variants were released for military use, 1st does its job as intended, 2nd leads to gulf war syndrome and the 3rd is where the trouble lies, the 3rd variant actually breaks down the immune system instead of the toxins, as the immune system fails a virus takes over the body, killing the host and then using the body as it sees fit, creating your common "zombie"
An agent is sent out from the government to dispatch the reporter, thus avoiding a public relations nightmare.
The reporter is chased by the agent and manages to lose the data in the panic.
2 schoolboys find the data and try to figure out what it actually is, when they do, they realise that they are in a whole lot of trouble.
After that it gets abit sketchy, hence why im not sure how long it will be, im going to try and take out £4000 about $8000 for you americans, its not much, but im going to rope in as many friends and family as i can, if anyone would like to help with scene ideas or would be able to help with crewing or acting, please feel free to get in touch with me (Stew) at admin@lorefilms.com if you could header it Syndrome that would be much appreciated.
