СЦЕНАРИЙ КОТОРЫЙ Я НАПИСАЛ ОН УЖАСЕН, ПОЭТОМУ ПРИДЕТСЯ ВСЕ СНАЧАЛО СДЕЛАТЬ
Сначала фильм лучше начать в мирное время, а потом после это уже разрушительные здания. Например в фильме Эд был ученым в лаборотории. У нее жена тоже ученная. Они вместе с другими ученными поэксперементировали над крысами, чтобы сделать вечную жизнь, и вечную молодость и им это удалось. Они так обрадовались, начали мечтать о будущем, что за это станут выдающимися, популярными людьми, и заработают очень много денег. Они закрыли лабороторию и все пошли по домам ночью. Позже Эд со своей женной на машине приехали домой. Дети находятся у бабушки на пару дней, а родители развлекаются у дома, смотрят фильм, начинают общаться по поводу достижении будущего. Муж в очках начинает флиртовать, разводить ее, она накоонец-то сдается и они начинают заниматься сексом. Вскоре ночью произошло что то нехорошее, крыса умерла, после этого она превратилась в зомби, и каким то образом смогла сбежать с лаборотории. И крыса начинает заражать людей ночью. Родители в очках очень сильно запатели, издают стоны в кровати. Утром в воскресенье встают, идут на работу и они видят что крыса сбежала, не понимают что произошло. В понедельник в школах, в которых они учаться тоже заразились. Их дети пропали без вести, либо заразились. А бабушка заразилась. Родители посмотрели новость в лаборотории о том что начинается заражения в нашем городе. И они видят на улицах толпы зомби, родители переживают о детях, звонят бабушке, но она не принимает трубку, так как она уже заражена. Жена начинает плакать, муж начинает утешать, но лаборотория была почти полностью перекрыта зомбиями, в итоге зомби пробили дверь лаборотории, начинают заражать включая ее жену. Жена не успела принять вакцину, а его муж принял вакцину после того как укусили. Ему не было выхода как прыгнуть в окну, жена сказала живи или типо того, я всегда тебя любила, после это она пожертвовала собой ради его спасения. Он прыгнул в окно с очень высокого этажа, но он выжил, потому что почти полностью эволюционировал в зомби. Мир узнал о вторжении зомби-апокалипсис, начали всемирные переговоры и решили власти мира скинуть ядерную бомбу в город. Как только Эд узнал об этом в новостях, тут же скрылся очень глубоко под землю. В итоге не только все зомби вымерли, но и все люди проживающем в этом городе.
Я очень плохо описал часть сюжета для начала так как это было мое виденье, но попробуйте как то преобразовать получше, так чтобы было более детально и просто.

Allow me to take you on a journey through our research. These milestones are not just scientific achievements, but stepping stones to our future.

The audience watches intently as images flicker across the screen: a petri dish, cellular divisions, time-lapse footage of the rat showing reversal signs of aging.

ED (CONT’D)
What started as a pursuit of knowledge has become a beacon of hope. This is not science fiction; it’s science fact.

Maria watches from the front row, a surge of pride swelling within her. Her eyes are fixed on Ed, her belief in their work unwavering.

Suddenly, the room’s attention narrows on a real-time display of the rat’s current condition. The creature is active, its movements vibrant and youthful.

ED (CONT’D)
Behold, the evidence of our success. Our test subject, now rejuvenated, previously showed all the hallmarks of advanced age. Now, it is as vivacious as a newborn, perhaps even more so.

A technical assistant carefully handles the enclosure, allowing the guests to observe the undeniable vigor of the animal.

A murmur of disbelief and awe spreads through the crowd. Ed stands back, letting the reality of the discovery sink in. His confident demeanor serves as a reassuring presence in the face of the staggering implications.

ED (CONT’D)
Imagine the diseases we will cure, the lives we will extend, the mysteries of aging we will unravel.

The screen shows diagrams of DNA strands, neatly highlighting the parts that they have successfully modified.

ED (CONT’D)
Our method is a delicate orchestration of gene therapy combined with a bespoke cocktail of enzymes and growth factors. The results, as you can see, are transformative.

He pauses a beat, allowing the weight of his revelation to permeate the room.

ED (CONT’D)
Tonight, as you lay your heads down to sleep, you will do so knowing that the dawn we wake to offers not just a new day, but the potential of a new era for all of humanity.

Comprehensive applause erupts in the hall, louder and more sustained than before. Maria joins in, her eyes watery with emotion. Through the cacophony, Ed’s gaze finds her face, and their shared smile speaks volumes—the future, fraught with unknowns, also brims with possibility.

ED (CONT’D)
(over the applause)
Together, we will venture into this new horizon of hope. Thank you.

Ed steps back from the podium, and the stage lights dim slightly, a signal of the session’s end. The room, still abuzz with excited chatter, begins to dispel as attendees move towards the exits and others rush to converse with Ed and his team.

FADE OUT.

INT. GENEsis LABORATORY - PRESENTATION HALL - DAY

The post-presentation buzz fills the hall as eager attendees gather around ED and MARIA, their questions an inquisitive hum in the otherwise serene aftermath. Some hold recorders, others notepads; all seek to delve deeper into the ramifications of this scientific miracle.

ED
(eager to engage)
Yes, Dr. Abbott, go ahead.

DR. ABBOTT, an eminent biologist, pushes his way to the front, his face marked with a blend of astonishment and skepticism.

DR. ABBOTT
The implications of reversing aging are staggering. How do you plan to address the ethical issues arising from such a profound advance?

Ed and Maria exchange a look, understanding the gravity of the question. With calm resolve, Ed responds.

ED
Ethics remain at the forefront of our research. We’ve established an oversight committee to explore the potential consequences and ensure responsible application. Our goal is to enhance life, not to disrupt the delicate balance of our society.

Another hand shoots up, belonging to a young, inquisitive REPORTER.

REPORTER
Could this technology lead to overpopulation, if we’re all living longer—or even forever?

Maria steps forward, her tone measured and reassuring.

MARIA
That’s a valid concern, and we’re working closely with global leaders in demography and sustainability. We’re advocates for a measured, phased approach to the introduction of this therapy.

The questions come more rapidly now, from bioethicists, futurists, and the press. Each answer is more thoughtful than the last, portraying a team prepared for the depth of their discovery.

A distinguished PROFESSOR clears his throat, attention focusing on him.

PROFESSOR
You’ve talked about the potential for this to fight disease, but is there a risk it could be weaponized or monopolized?

ED
(transparency in his voice)
We’re acutely aware of that risk. Therefore, we’ve involved international health organizations from the onset to ensure equitable access. As for the former, stringent security protocols are in place to safeguard our work from unethical use. The power to extend life carries the responsibility to protect it.

The question and answer session rolls on, punctuated by flashes from camera bulbs and scribbling pencils.

As they continue to field inquiries, the depths of their commitment to this technology’s proper stewarding stand out against the backdrop of potential and peril.

FADE OUT.

Still, there are concerns—ethical, social. We must proceed with the utmost care.

CHANCELLOR WEST
(nodding, gravely)
Indeed. Great power comes with heavy responsibility. Eyes around the world will be watching.

CUT TO:

ACROSS THE ROOM

A CORNER where two FIGURES converse in hushed tones. One is DR. ROSENBERG, shrouded in skepticism, his eyes darting towards Ed and Maria.

DR. ROSENBERG
(whispering)
The implications… Are they fully prepared for the consequences?

His companion, MS. SHARPE, a noted bioethicist, takes a sip of her drink, her gaze sharp and calculating.

MS. SHARPE
That remains to be seen. Innovation and precaution must walk hand in hand. Let’s hope the GENEsis team understands that.

BACK TO ED AND MARIA

ED
(to another group of colleagues)
We’ve considered the ramifications. We’re not just chasing after immortality; we’re seeking to improve quality of life.

MARIA
(chiming in)
That’s right. We must ensure that this technology serves humanity, not diminishes it.

The conversational exchanges continue to crisscross the room, an interwoven tapestry of hope and foreboding.

Guests sip their drinks, but there’s an undercurrent of uncertainty that even the bubbling champagne can’t dissipate. The room is filled with a sense of destiny in the making—a feeling that tonight, the future has begun to unfold.

FADE TO BLACK.

CLOSE-UP - MARIA’S FACE, illuminated by the city lights, her eyes shining with unshed tears.

MARIA
(voice soft with emotion)
We’ve done more than I ever dreamed. Yet tonight, I can’t shake off a sense of foreboding…

ED wraps his arms around her waist, drawing her close. Their connection is as palpable as the air they breathe, their union strengthened by the challenges they’ve faced.

ED
(reassuringly)
We’ve tread through the unknown, shaped the future. Any fear we feel is a reminder of our responsibility.

They stand in shared silence, their gaze on the sprawling city below—a testament to humanity’s relentless advance.

CUT TO:

TWO SHOT - ED AND MARIA together, framed against the cityscape. Ed rests his chin on Maria’s shoulder, their reflections woven into the tapestry of lights.

ED
(softly)
What matters now is that we navigate the path ahead with caution. For every miracle we’ve created, there’s a responsibility we can’t ignore.

MARIA
(turning to face him)
Our dreams could become nightmares if we’re not careful. The joy of discovery, the weight of consequence—we carry them both.

ED
(nodding)
Together, we’ll face whatever comes. Our love, our bond… it’s our anchor amidst the storm.

They share a tender kiss, a moment of solace away from prying eyes and probing questions. It’s a promise, a vow unspoken but deeply felt—an acknowledgment of their unity and unwavering support for each other.

FADE OUT.

INT. GENEsis LABORATORY - LATE NIGHT

The lab is dimly lit, a ghostly echo of the bustling hive of innovation it had been just hours earlier. Dreamlike shadows crawl across the floor as ED and MARIA, husband and wife, colleagues and conspirators, prepare to leave the place where their hopes soared and dread now begins to take root.

ED carefully shuts down the last of the computers, the glowing screens reflecting a mind burdened with the what-ifs of their creation. He hesitates at the power switch, a symbol of transition from the known to the uncertain.

MARIA watches him, her gaze lingering on the man she knows so well, the man who shares her dreams and fears. She reaches across the bench, placing a hand tenderly upon his.

MARIA
(softly)
We’ve reached for the stars, and now there’s no turning back.

ED looks to her, the gravity of their work etched in his eyes. His hand covers hers, a tactile testament to their shared resolve.

ED
(somberly)
The future is ours to shape, for better or worse. It’s a path we walk together.

INT. ED AND MARIA’S LIVING ROOM - LATER THAT NIGHT

The house is serene, bathed in the soft warmth of table lamps. They sit close on the couch, a world away from lab coats and lofty ambitions. A bottle of wine sits between them, two glasses half full, a quiet celebration.

MARIA
(in a near whisper)
We’ve dedicated our lives to this… to life itself. Tonight, let’s simply be Ed and Maria.

ED
(embracing the moment)
To tonight, to us, and to whatever tomorrow brings. Together, always.

They cling to the moment, to the simplicity of the life they’ve temporarily recaptured, a peaceful interlude to the storm that awaits. A toast to their love, their partnership, in the calm before the inevitable tempest.

ED kills the engine, and silence takes hold for a moment. They sit, gazing at their home, a sanctuary from the spinning world outside. The laughter and warmth from the car ride linger between them, a balm for the soul.

MARIA
(serene)
It feels like a lifetime has passed since this morning… Doesn’t it?

ED flashes a boyish grin, still riding the high of their accomplishments and the camaraderie of the evening.

ED
(energized)
A lifetime in a day. Who knows what tomorrow holds?

They exit the car, the soft crunch of gravel under their feet. Ed retrieves a bottle of wine from the trunk, a last-minute decision, promising a night of celebration – or perhaps contemplation.

CUT TO:

EXT. ED’S HOUSE - BACK PORCH - LATER

Against a backdrop of twinkling stars, Ed uncorks the wine with a practiced ease. They sit on the back porch, wrapped in blankets, the world around them at peace. Their glasses clink in a toast, the sound as crisp as the cool night air.

MARIA
(eyes twinkling)
To us, to love, and to a future filled with hope.

ED
With a glance towards the heavens)
And to the light that guides us through the dark.

Their gazes lock, a silent acknowledgment of all that they’ve been through together. The city buzz has faded to a distant hum, eclipsed by the domestic symphony of crickets and rustling leaves.

CUT TO:

CLOSE-UP - THEIR HANDS, entwined, resting on the table amidst two glasses delicately catching the moonlight.

Their laughter spills into the night, candid and carefree, a testament to their bond. But beneath the mirth lies an undercurrent of uncertainty, a prelude to the trials that await.

MARIA
(suddenly solemn)
Whatever happens, Ed… we face it side by side.

ED
(resolute)
Always, Maria. Side by side.

Their words echo in the still night. It’s a pledge, an unshakeable vow, as they stand on the precipice of a world teetering on the brink of upheaval.
