SPACE INVADER

Screenplay by Chip Ganem

Think Alien. Think Gravity. Now stop thinking. Imagine a contained genre script set on a space station after the discovery of life on Venus. Imagine a single cell escaping a microscope and consuming everybody on board. The real star of this show, nicknamed Marge, is the carnivorous amoeba, not the scaredy-cat astronauts trying to avoid getting eaten. Two possible roles here for Antwon Legion: Lt. Pippen, the sole survivor of this space ordeal who unknowingly escorts Marge in his escape pod to complete her buffet of humanity on Earth, or the more interesting part of cyborg astronaut Owen, who gives up the ghost in a death match with Marge near the halfway mark. Director did Stockholm Chill. Not familiar with his work. Not enough character beats for the other astronauts to shine. Not enough memorable lines. Script desperately needs more trailer moments. On the flip side, Marge could find fame as an iconic boogeyman* in this space opera about life on Venus ending life on Earth.
