Title: pop. 1
Log line: The Omega Man meets Dawn Of The Dead.
“Some things are more terrifying than the living dead.”
70 pages.
WGA No.: 1123247
What would you do if a world wide plague turned every man, woman, and child, EXCEPT FOR YOU, into mindless, cannibalistic zombies?
What would you do if you were completely immune to the plague, and had to stand helplessly by and watch civilization crumble and disappear around you in a matter of days?
What would you do if you found a place of hope in this lonely wasteland, only to discover that there are some things more horrible than the living dead?
This is the terrifying, hopeless world Luke James must live in. Through my screenplay titled, “pop. 1”, you will experience the journey of Luke James, who just may be the last man alive in a world of the living dead.
As Luke James wanders from city to city looking for other survivors, we see a dead world that offers him no hope. When he finds a maximum security prison that is populated by the last holdouts of mankind, he believes he has found an oasis of life. But this is no sanctuary. The prisons occupants are dominated by a power crazy warden and his fanatical guards who worship him as their Saviour, and they will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Think 2004's Dawn Of The Dead. Cost= $28 mil., Ticket Sales= $58 mil., and that doesn't include DVD sales, pay per view, overseas sales, or premium cable.
The completed screenplay is available upon request. Thank you for your generous time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Cordially:
William J. Jenkins
