I need to pitch an idea for a short film (for a screenwriting class). I wanted to ask all the /b tards if this idea is HOT OR NOT. I turn to the Paizo messageboards because i have no where else to go.
A physicist is accidentally transported into the future durring an experiment with teleportation. The world he is taken to is apparently one giant building inhabited by horrific creatures, including predatory linen sheet-covered life forms that hunt him for his warm, sheetless flesh. He traverses a seemingly endless labyrinth of treacherous hallways in search of the sun, only to discover a sentient, telekinetic mushroom hidden inside a janitor’s closet. The mushroom tells the physicist that he is but one of the mother fungus’ many “heads”, and that his roots spread all throughout the earth. He goes on to recount that for a billion years, plants were the earth’s dominant life form, covering the earth in a sheet of greenery. Fungus could not outgrow them without special “fungo-active” compounds: Preservatives, food dyes, plastics, high fructose corn syrup and fine linens. Because these did not exist in nature, fungus created animals- at first inconsequential beasts, but then finally man- and infected them with recipes for their needed compounds. Slowly Incorporated into the fungal collective, man unwittingly served to destroy the “green tumors” of the earth, replacing all land mass with concrete and steel, blocking the sun and destroying all plant life
