I took another break from Camp Josef and my endless amount of projects to post this. It's a really old idea i got that combines my love of drifting with my love for the infinite. i call it the Space Drifter! I think it would make a decent novel. Here's the (Rough) first half of the tale.
(copy and pasted from my post in r9k)
I had this idea for a movie a long time ago set in the future where space travel has beocme public and the universe is slowly becoming industrialized by humans. The universe is starting to shape like in Futurama. There are space highways filled with massive space ships carrying various goods. And there's space wars going on over land ownerships and former military powers on earth trying to establish dominance in the universe and find a profit somewhere out there. But in all of the busyness of space there is one man, a space drifter who has lost his wife and children years ago under the idea that a friend of his from the military killed them and has been pursueing him for the last 15 years, so he's been on the run. Until one day he finds his family in a space station where he went to refuel, and he tells the story of how he become.... The space drifter.
So back 15 years ago, mister space drifter was highly decorated in some inter stellar space battles. Of course he's american, who would watch this movie if he wasn't? and he was fighting the equivalant of afghani space fuckers. So anyways, after one of the wars is over he says he's done fighting, he's going to raise his family and forget he was even involved in the war in the first place. His best friend and wingman tries to understand his case for a normal life, but when the afghani fuckers start bombing cities due to some sort of religious dissagreement among the lands then best friend's superiors demand that they bring the soon to be space drifter back into commision. Best friend goes back to friend during a space USO show where he is being commerorated to ask, but space drifter is all "fuck that noise, i got a family now." Best friend's dark side comes out and he threatens space drifter and threatens to kill his family if he doesn't join. epic space battle happens between the two and mister space drifter ends up nearly dieing, but he is saved by some old wizard fucker who nurses him back to help and gives him words of advice, since space drifter just tried to kill a leading officer(The leading officer being his best friend, and the leading officer having the upper hand of being at the reacting end of the battle, since mister space drifter tried to kill him after his threats got out of hand, and best friend can easily determine mister space drifter as crazy.) the wizard tells the space drifter to get to his family and hide. So mister Space Drifter gets to his house to find it burnt to the ground. In despair and with the idea that his family is dead and he is now a wanted man he goes on the road to find something worth living for.
At first space drifter is reluctant to even show his face in public. but he finds a job to support his running and hiding as a long distance trucker. The war rages on in the background and unfortunatly he ends up killing a dozen or so afghani fuckers who try and hijack him. This gets attention from the space police and the army. "Who in this world can take out a dozen space ships with a fucking hauling ship alone?" Well, mister best friend finds a way to track space drifter down, and oddly enough, so does the space drifters oldest daughter, who has been searching for him secretly since he heard about him being in the battle and knowing her father, he would have managed to survive it all. She goes on looking for him, but his trail goes cold when he ditches for the deepest reaches of space where he finds himself lost and scared. He then coems upon the fucking war again as the americans and the anghanis try and rape the planet he is on. Unfortunatly he becomes a POW for the afghani's and due to his aged self they don't recognize him.
The entire story would be narrated by the space drifter as he tells it to his family, his family of course asking the questions we are curious to know, and their reactions to his actions in the story.

Camp Josef
This is a low budget horror/thriller idea I've been inventing for awhile. I think I got the general plot down after a battle with writers block. here we go.
The story is called Camp Josef. Inspired by the Angel Of Death, Josef Mengele, a nazi officer known for doing human experimenting and being one of the most cinical people to ever live.
So, we start in Prince George B.C. 3 friends, Terrence Edelman, an outdoorsman and a bit of a douchey guy, but he will kill for his friends and his girlfriend, evne though he only has one friend, Ryan Canston, a quiet mellow fellow. Kind of like me, he get flustered when stuff goes un according to plan and makes brash decisions when this happens, but he is an avid hunter and so is Terrance. Terrance also has a girlfriend, Jewel, a blond bombshell who could be a model and be with any other guy in the world besides the obnoxious Terrance, but she loves him because he loves her, and he treats her like a woman should be treated. Jewel is also an enjoyer of the outdoors. Together these 3 decide to go hunting in a top secret place Terrance has chosen. Terrance heard about numerous bear sightings around an old abandoned Camp sight called Camp Josef. Ryan is half native so he can hunt anything on the land. So they head off, but Terrance gets a call from his mom and they go to her house to pick up Terrances nerdy little brother Keneth Edelman. Ken's an extremely timid young man who probably ways 100 pounds, he has little to say and he can't seem to stand up for himself, but Terrances mom treasures him because he is such a lonely guy. Ken asked his mom if he could go on one of Terrances weekend hunting trips so he could become a man by killing something. Terrance reluctantly accepts and takes Keneth along. Terrances mom is dying from lung cancer and she has a hole in her throat that she smokes out of. she's addicted, but doesn't have the willpower to stop. And i guess this personifies ont Keneth's weekness, he doesn't have the willpower to let himself be a bigger man, but he believes that if he proves himself.. to himself, then he can figure a way to cure his mom and to find a better life for himself and his mom.
Terrance brings the group to a small town called Bear Lake to get some supplies. Terrance asks about the town of Anzac and the old Camp Josef. The clerk warns them of the tough terrain to get out there and the wolves and Bears. Terrance smiles at this, he wants there to be rough terrain and Wolves. He drives a massive Ford Explorer with mudders and all the fancy offroading equipment. thye leave with there supplies to last a weekend. They take 2 hours to get to Camp Josef, which is an incredibly Erie desolate camp ground. a park Ranger patrols the area and warns them of the cutline roads and all of the animals. Ryan shows him his red card and The park ranger lets them go further down the road. They go for another 2 hours into the mountains, they begin to reach roads that haven't been maintained in 20 some odd years. They go down a cutline made in the 60's and set up camp right in the middle of the area. The next day they set out to hunt. Terrance kills a coyote bright and early to wake up everyone. They go out for the day and explore the area. During there endevors they find a strange rusted fence that seems to be 50 feet high and stretches around a 5 kilometer radius. They can faintly see with binoculars through the fence what looks to be an old house one kilometer in. They think it might have been an old military house built back in the cold war when American troups built a missile detection facility in the area to watch for russian rockets going over Canada. The place was abandoned and destroyed after the cold war though. Night falls and they return to camp, but Kenneth thinks he seen something beyond the fence. He goes during the night and climbs the fence at an area where a tree fell on the massive bardwire at the top. Kenneth immedietly gets blacked bagged when he hops over. He tries to scream but the guy who did it injects him with something and he falls down. This man is Berry Klehr, he is silent, he doesn't even talk. And he doesn't fuck around, and for some reason he wears hunting gear, as if he was another hunter similiar to the group of good guys.
The next day Terrence wakes up to find his little brother missing. Terrances freaks out and breaks some stuff, Jewel and Ryan calm him down. Terrance decides to make a scout party, he tells Ryan to stay at the camp with a walky talkie just in case Kenneth comes back, Jewel and Terrance say they will be back in 3 hours or less, if they aren't back, go find the park ranger, they don't need Ryan getting lost aswell.
So this is act 1. The first 30 pages.... Should be intense. I'll write out the 2nd and 3rd act in later entries. I'm really tired right now.

Walker Revised
I've been working on this script for the last month or two and I've gotten to page 25 and realized I really need to rethink some of the story. I really need to preplan a lot better, unfortunatly I hate outlining and doing treatments. But they are the best way to plan out a decent script.
so the basic's of the first 20 pages is that Walker is an assasin on his last kill of the night when he is jailed by a 14 year old girl(Katie). Instead of calling the cops, he lets her go because she killed her mothers boyfriend, who was abusing her. Walker lets her live and tells her to runaway. Instead Katie follows Walker back to his home in an industrial park. Katie ends up getting caught by a guard and Walker stands up for her before she is killed by his father. Walker and Katie are both injured in the incident and so is Walker's father(Ronald). Walker says he is taking her to safety.Meanwwhile Ronald fixes himself up at the house, Tarvin, another assasin for Ronald comes and meets hinm and takes on the task of finding Walker and killing Katie. They go to Walker's only friends house, Danny, a drug dealer who lives with his mom. Walker and Katie get fixed up by danny and are off on there way. They start walking towards the boarder. Walker ends up talking to Katie and getting to know her more, but when she needs to go to the bathroom they go to a gas station. At the gas station two gang members try and rob the place. They notice Walker and mention his father getting injured, the gang member then brings up the cost on his head, Walker then reacts when Katie comes out of the bathroom, he saves her and kills the two gang members and the gas station owner shoots at the two of them as they escape.
More to come, i'm tired right now.
