My brother recently came to me and told me he was resurrecting an idea he had a long time ago. Although he is not a writer, he was working on a screenplay. I was of course intrigued, and he told me it was about a game. He kept being as vague and vague as possible until I remembered years back when he concocted this idea. The movie for ..... Telerobxer. I'll say that again because it bears repeating, Teleroboxer.
The plot: My borther travels to a post appocolyptic future where the world is in ruin and all technology is lost, or so he orginally thinks. After a bit of wandering he comes to a giant arena with a silent crowd, the silence only broken by gasps and screams of terror. Upon opening he finds the population of the world, watching, and WORSHIPING a lone virtual boy with a Teleroboxer cart installed. One after another the device is strapped to a persons head and the person, confused, punches and flails wildly at the empty air in front of him, and then upon losing is beheaded. My brother of course being the only human left alive who knows to use the controller, vows to rule the game and free the people from it's grasp. However part way through a Teleroboxer priest fears his victory and severs his hands. Now He must train a young boy to finish his quest and save the future from Teleroboxer.
My god ....... if you people could hear him talk about this "film" with such passion.... I swear you'd almost want to watch it! I thought the premise was too funny to be left between the 2 of us. What do you people think? If he actually pulled off getting that into the box office .... would you go? If only to make fun of it, still, would you dare pay money for it? He swears you will.
