K U L O - L U N A - $BILLION DOLLAR WHALE
|
|||||
Before he can rescue an injured humpback whale from fish netting, John Storm has to take on four hungry sharks. Fortunately he is a resourceful ocean adventurer. He beats off the attackers, then calms the giant whale they were circling, who is injured and bleeding badly. Then the ocean conservationist's mission begins. The KULO-LUNA draft script is now published, as is CLEOPATRA THE MUMMY, both available as Final Draft screenplays. TREASURE ISLAND: BLACKBEARD'S CURSE & PIRATES GOLD, and OPERATION NEPTUNE: THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS, are presently being developed, aiming for 2024, and 2025 completion (respectively) - though could be accelerated, as we search for producers/directors.

John is captain of the Elizabeth Swann, a solar and wind powered craft, that he likes to cruise in, and race occasionally. Fortunately for Kulo Luna, the Elizabeth Swann is not only swift, but superbly equipped for scientific and ocean conservation tasks.
The Swann is the kind of vessel James Bond and 'Q' Branch would envy. It is stacked full of juicy ocean tech. John inherited the craft from his genius uncle, as a puzzle to be completed. It is zero emission, using solar panels that track the sun and a turbine that hunts for wind automatically, to generate clean electricity for propulsion. A feat Captain Nemo would endorse.
The Swann is AI smart. There is an onboard computer that takes care of navigation. The Swann is the RoboTaxi of the ocean. It pilots itself when the crew get tired or need a hand. The Swann is ultra economical, powered by free energy from nature. The boat is a character in the story. It is based on real-life energy and hull studies. The vessel could be constructed tomorrow with all the features in this story, including autonomous navigation - a dream situation for special effects departments. Kulo Luna is a modern Moby Dick, with a twist, in that there is a happy ending for everyone in this story, including the whalers. Herman Melville might approve, the embittered Captain Ahab may not.

Budding artists can see how a professional works as part of a team to produce a finished work from a concept, by clicking on the picture. Apart from Bond, Influences include Jaws, In The Heart Of The Sea, Tarzan and National Treasure.
Plato
described Atlantis as an island larger than Asia Minor and Libya combined, and situated just beyond the Pillars of Hercules (the Strait of Gibraltar).
Atlantis was mythologized to have been founded by Poseidon, the Greek god of the seas. He made his son Atlas the king and named the city after him, as well as the ocean around it, hence the Atlantic Ocean.
OCTOBER 2023 - Special effects 1:20 large scale model, doubling up for exhibitions and clean tech demonstrations. The Elizabeth Swann is a clean-sheet-of-paper, hydrogen powered, trimaran design. With an exceptionally large panel/ deck area in relation to displacement, providing solar assistance, with the solar wings tracking the sun for autonomous fuel independence.
