OUCS: Team of Rivals

For those unfamiliar with it, the book Team of Rivals discusses how Abraham Lincoln got a bunch of people who did not agree with him to join his cabinet because he was a good and open president. I heard the title and thought of the film The One, with Jet Li. This preview explains it. One thing led to another and another comic idea was born. This is also suitable to be used for a movie preview or movie idea. As usual, contact me if you use the idea.

Panel 1:

We see the White House in an older time. People outside ride those old fashioned bicycles.

Aide (not seen): Mr. President, the machine is ready.


Panel 2:

We see a shadowy figure in front of a giant circular gate machine.( I guess like a Stargate, I never watched the show. Better yet like the thing they used in Johnny Quest to go into Quest World. )It is the silhouette of Abraham Lincoln, giant hat and everything.

Lincoln: Four score and seven minutes ago.


Panel 3:

Lincoln turns to face the wooden control panel.

Lincoln: There was only one of me.


Panel 4:

Close up of Lincoln's hand pressing a button.


Panel 5:

Sparks shoot from the machine and a swirl appears.


Panel 5:

Four more Lincolns are now behind him/ step out of the machine.


Panel 6:

Lincolns all at once: Ladies and gentlemen, do not be alarmed for we are on the precipice of greatness. We shall take back our nation.


Panel 7:

Based on the bestselling nonfiction book.


Panel 8:

We see Union and Confederate soldiers fighting.

Narrator: In a world torn apart by war, only one man could reunite it.


Panel 9:

We see the Lincolns posing for a picture.

Narrator: And there are 22 of him.


Panel 10:

Narrator: was evil.


Panel 12:

Evil Lincoln shoots another Lincoln at the Ford Theatre


Panel 13:

Lincoln: General Grant, we have to stop him. Each clone he kills, the stronger he gets.

Grant: Sir, there is one thing you have that he does not posses.


Panel 15:

Grant pulls out a submachine gun.

Grant: True firepower.


Panel 16:

Evil Lincoln is seen giving a speech outside.

Evil Lincoln: Our nation officially surrenders to the South.


Panel 17:

The crowd looks shocked.


Panel 18:

Lincoln walks through the crowd carrying the guns, looking like Rambo meets Abraham Lincoln along with two other Lincolns similarly equipped.

Lincoln: Hear ye hear ye. Your shit is about to get fucked up.


Panel 19:

Caption of Team of Rivals


Panel 20:

Lincoln and the other Lincolns aim at evil Lincoln.

Lincoln: I'll emancipate the shit out of you.


Panel 21:

Evil Lincoln smirks:

Evil Lincoln: We shall see.

OUCS: Daybreakers Parody

Welcome to the first Open Use Comic Script where when I have an idea I can't use, I will do my best to turn it in to a script. If you need one for the week, feel free to take and use it, possibly even edit, just link me when it is done.

This Episode: Daybreakers Parody
If you were unaware, Daybreakers was that vampire film that came out where vampires who don't get blood turn into crazy Nosferatu vampires and since everyone (not everyone) wanted to become a vampire, there is less and less blood. They hook humans up to machines and the humans not hooked up are fighting back or they want a cure. They find it and then presumably everyone lives happily ever after especially Willem DeFoe's beard. All in all, the movie feels like the Matrix trilogy did with the humans hooked up to machines, the stylistic filming and the few shots with fighting. Also some of the really wooden acting.

Panel 1:

Business Man (the fat guy) and the two executive are in the office talking.

Business Man: All these kids are complaining about Twilight messing up vampires and werewolves. How can we profit from this?

Executive One: Gritty re-imagining of the monsters.

Executive Two: A vampire Matrix!


Panel 2:

Similar

Executive One: You mean Daybreakers?

Executive Two: Hmmmm. What if we mix werewolves and another 90's film.

Business Man: Genius!


Panel 3:

Werewolf Park


Panel 4:

We see Jurassic Park people - the old guy, Jeff Goldblum, little kids and doctor couple standing in front of welcome center doors.

Old guy: Welcome to my park where I made imagination reality. Real living werewolves!


Panel 5:

Goldblum and old man are talking in office with the doctor couple.

Goldblum: Isn't there a threat to having werewolves in a park. Can't they reproduce?

Old Man: Don't worry. They are all males.


Panel 6:

Goldblum looks angry.

Goldblum: That... that means nothing! Lycanthropy is passed on in biting.


Panel 7:

Old Man does not take this shit seriously.

Old Man: At least we'll be fine unless every part of the billion dollar security system fails.


Panel 8:

Old Man knocks coffee on his laptop.


Panel 9:

Room is dark except for eyes of the people.

Old man: Shit.


Panel 10

We see a Jeep ala Jurassic Park with a werewolf on the outside. Researcher and the kids are inside the Jeep.

Researcher: Don't worry kids, they can't open doors. They have no thumbs.

Kid 1: But they do have thumbs.


Panel 11:

We see blood outside of the Jeep.


Panel 12:

Fat guy is seen running with a wolfsbane.

Fat guy: I can sell this for other people to make the werewolves.


Panel 13:

Fat guy is starting down a bunch of werewolves.

Fat guy: Shit


Panel 14:

Parody of Jurassic Park logo but with a wolf howling at the moon ... a wolf made of bones! D: So basically a skeleton wolf.
