FILE: Rigor Pass 1866 - Ideas DATE: 2010-06-19 ARCHIVE: 2020-08-20 (c) Copyright Brett Paufler # # # # # # # # # # # # # # As follows are Celli's story notes for Rigor Pass 1866. Remember, it's a movie about a play done as a sequel to The Dragon Bound Series, as written by Celli to take place in a Gold Rush Westernized Rigor Pass: Circa 1866. These are simply ideas for a project never pursued... and at this point are rather meaningless to me. Though, if you want to think of them as the hyper-short notes to a book (say, as notes to a book report) one might not be too far off. It's a fun read to me. But then, I do sort of know many of the underlying assumptions. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Rigor Pass 1866 The Manna Boom Years Copyright, Brett Paufler 10-9-09 Perhaps Start by Condensing Story Notes as the "Working Script Book III Rigor Pass: The Manna Boom Days # 1 # There's a Sequel in Them There Hills It is foggy. The Celaphopod has lost his way. What's this? A strip a manna? Then another. Walking knee deep in the stuff, it's a manna blow. It's worth a fortune. He could keep this to himself. But who is he kidding? With a mighty cry of joy he says, "They bought it. We're gonna do a sequel!" And as his cry echoed through the hills, all the characters pack their bags and head off to Tim's Time travel Emporium, hoping to make their fortune in the next instalment of the Dragon Bound Series. We couldn't sell it as a fantasy, maybe we need to change genre's, maybe a Western.
