Unproduced Screenplay #6: "The Powers" (2000)


The Powers was my first, and only since, attempt at writing an orginal television pilot.  

It is a drama/comedy/thriller/mystery/action/horror/suspense/romance about Daniel Larson, a Los Angeles detective, who returns home to his small Connecticut town twenty years after his parents died from a car accident.  

Or was it an accident?  More importantly, why the hell are there a bunch of evil fallen angels running around town trying to kill people and how is Daniel the key to stopping them?

Here is the opening scene, a flashback to the day his parents died. 


Next up, APPROACHING STORM, a script I was once hired to write as a sequel to The Perfect Storm.  (Yes, I'm talking about the George Clooney movie.)

Interesting. Did the fallen angels populate the town with 20 ft Nephilim via a local street walker who befriends our hero in an effort to rid the community of these abominations? Is she, the prostitute, conflicted about the plan to terminate these evil giants, as she is the mother.
Do they find an old copy of The Book Of Enoch in a local oddity shop and befriend the proprietor? Do they use the veiled references in the text to defeat the Nephilim, thus saving humanity? Does the shopkeeper die in his adventure with our hero and his wood be hooker girlfriend?
