[UA] The Screenplay (was Re: [UA] Dream)

[Kevin Mowery]

    The in-a-dream casting of Avery Brooks as Alex Abel brings to mind a few
questions:

If there were going to be a UA movie, what would you want the rough plot to
be?

What if it were a TV show?  What would you watch week after week?

Lastly, in a backwards-from-the-norm step, if someone were to write a really
cool UA screenplay, what would it take to get the Atlas stamp of approval?
(Obviously, this last is a question for people who actually work for Atlas.)

Me, I'd want to see TNI in either a movie or a weekly series.
