summary: post peak apocalypse, gas scarce. new corporation in Denver, CO has brought to the market a new supply of fuels, they are extraordinarily well financed and they are buying up gas stations everywhere to sell their bioengineered gas, diesel, or NG emulates; intrepid reporter for The Village Voice goes undercover in Colorado where he discovers that the new corporation, GGF (Green Gas Fuels) is depolymerizing people under the Denver Airport and making them into fuel.

atmosphere: a level of ultra-patriotic fever has been the public response to the crisis, there are huge posters of Lincoln and Washington everywhere, dissent is a redflag and mass arrests are occurring, the clamp-down is total.

plot twist: it turns out the GGF is a front for The Illuminati who are mobilizing the US population after a coup d'etat. New weaponry is unveilled which makes US soldiers invincible, reverse engineered at Area 51 and the plan is to reduce the global population to 950 million "well behaved" people controlled from Denver, the New World Capital. The plans are known as ORS (Operation Restore System).

That is so far-fetched. Denver, the Capital? You crazy, craka.

Seems like V for Vendetta (haven't seen though, just from comms).

And you mistook me. I was knocking Denver as being the Capital. That's why I said it's far fetched but failed to mention anything else.

have a scene where Cage is strapped into a chair in a scyscraper overlooking Denver with the beautiful Rocky Mountains in the background. The head guy of The Illuminati is interrogating him and telling why the human race needs to be culled, very thought-provoking case made why what they are doing is The Just Answer to our problems. Cage is having doubts as he is hypnotized by the Illuminati guy with the Rocky Mountains behind him. another plot twist: the Coors corporation is heavily involved.

Edward Herrmann would be perfect for the Illuminati Interrogator. btw, any resemblance to any real or semi-real persons who may or may not be members of this forum is purely coincidental.

Sorry PMS-

Nicholas Cage is already in the Illuminati's pocket. He did National Treasure which was a puff piece for the Masons.

Maybe you could go in a different like direction with this project by bringing Andy Sidaris on board? You know the One of the Great minds of Cinema. Andy's got the formula for straight to DVD and he's so low budget you wouldn't have to mess with the unions.

How about "Half a Tank To Houston".

Maybe I should explain, PM, more about this post-post-modern idea. The movie would have a gimmick, but the actors and situations would be played straight and serious. The gimmick is the Simpsons parody thing. What would make it work is if the action gets really bad a-la-TEOTWAWKI. You see, scare the shit out of the audience while playing a game of ripping off scenes from other movies. They won't "get-it" unless they realize their world is about to implode. Should make for good after-viewing conversation, don't you think? Show para-military gangs terrorizing civilians, summary executions, turf wars, famine, pestilence, common random murder, throw in a parody of 28 Days Later.

Original Dawn of the Dead, with a gas based theme?

It really brought me down when the remake didn't include the bikers.

Yes!Yes! Only no Eastwood, that would eat up the budget. We get Rutger Hauer instead.
