This is a film script that we hope to either make ourselves or find partners to help us make it. It is written by John Clarkson. The story is about two aliens, the Spymaster General of British India (Victorian times) a City of London banker, an inconsequential 20 year old Page 3 model from 1988, and people from history such as Jack the Ripper, one of his victims: Elizabeth Stride, and John F Kennedy - focusing on Lee Oswald and Officer Tippett.

BACKGROUND TO THE CHARACTERS


[These are all fictional characters. Any resemblance to anyone living or dead is merely coincidental.]


J G Melville


J G Melville started his career in India as a Salt Tax officer. In 1857 he was given the task of detecting any signs of mutiny amongst the sepoys or their families. By 1880 he had risen to become a Political Agent - a kind of British Ambassador to the tribes of the North West Frontier, Afghanistan and Northern India. On the wealth he accumulated from these contacts the rich rajahs and tribal warlords, he built a 68 room mansion house in the foothills of the Himalayas. Here he hosted dinners. Horses were paraded around the table for his guests. These guests were arms dealers from all over Europe. J G Melville was a tough man when young and was still very fit well into his old age.


The actor taking this role must be able to ride a horse do fight scenes.


Athene


A commander of fleets from the planet Chronoloid. She is tasked with travelling to Earth using technology that is well beyond human understanding. She is able to travel not only in space but in time. She can summon up forcefields, rays and power that is housed within her half robotic half biological core. To humans she looks like a Greek goddess, and has assumed the name of Athene. Athene's main adversary is Hera, a Dakaloid. His mission is to change human history so that human life - being the last non-computational observers of the universe still alive - is exterminated. This according to the Dakaloid's beliefs will help to create a new universe that is better than this one. The Chronoloid's by contrast believe human life must be protected and their destiny must be secured to prevent the universe from dying.


Actresses must be physically fit, be able to do combat scenes, with some mime artist type skills.


If you are applying for this role please find it on STARNOW very soon.
