“The infinite potential of man has been expressed in a myriad of ways over the centuries. But from that potential that brought us the most breathtaking, soul touching artwork also came the nightmare of the Wrath.”
–Then Bishop Andreas Giovanni before the College of Cardinals during Conclave, 2026

I grabbed a copy of the Transformers movie today (my last treat to my self for a LONG while) and picked up the 2 disc set. I watched the second disc, and had to wonder about the story world I’m building with Imperium.

I’ve always had the idea of Imperium in the vein of a big budget motion picture. I see the scenes I want to write for that story as scenes in a major action film. There are going to be scenes that span major amounts of distance, to include the air ships for the major players like the Methuselah Class Imperium ships, the Saladin Class arabian vessels on the scale of things, the the vast battles like the Assault on Terahn and the Battle of London. NOt to mention the number of things that go on in between.

Major things like that. We’re talking things that in a movie would be MAJOR Scenes and on set type things. The sort of thing you might have to make a good trilogy of JUST to have a SHOT of doing it right.

I got to thinking of who would be a good director for such a thing, and fact is it would probably have to be Micheal Baey. He’s done some spectacular action films, and REALLY did well on Transformers. I couldn’t think of anyone, except maybe peter jackson, as being capable of doing this.

That leads me to my question. If you were to choose a director to make a movie version of your vision, who would it be?

“A warrior doesn’t care about the honor of others. They are only concerned with their own.”
Hassan Mosaddegh to Mary, 2037

I’m working on trying to kick start Imperiu up a bit more. Still writing chapter 1, still not quiet happy with it. I’ll be working on it for a while I bet. at this time though I’m trying to build up what will be the imperium communiy, if one will exist. To that end I’ve gone and created a group on last.fm for the storyline folk. I’m also working on a few other things. Anyone interested can join.And if youhave any capability as an artist then I beg you to help me with some graphics.

“The hard part isn’t drinking the blood of a human you just killed. It’s being able to look yourself in the mirror everyday after the first drop passes your lips.”
-Leon Drake, to the Rev’d Marcus Shaw at the Holy Cathedral of Heavenly Grace, Chicago Illinois 2032

Over time I’ll add in some just quick scenes I thought of that have nothing really to do with the main story line but I thought were kind of funny so I figured I’d share.

Drake stepped into the garden and saw a beautiful woman enjoying the scent of the roses. Vlad was close to his side as he took in the site. Immediatly however his calm gaze became a tense and annoyed look. The reason?
“Dude, you staring at her ass?” Vlad asked.
Mary was startled from her examination of one particular rose when she heard the vampire lord screaming in agony, “GODDAMNIT MY KIDNEYS!”
