Production: Story

The year is 2072. The majority of civilians of earth have been moved in colonies across 12 different quadrants of the Milky Way. They were moved during the great rebal uprising of 2045, 29 years after world war 3, (which marked the end of individual government systems in each country). The Rebels disagreed with the WLE's (world legislation enforcers) new cloning scheme; to have 1 clone per capita of the population so people could rest more, therefore work more productively when in action. However, some people abused the power of practucally having a slave. That is why a band of Rebels tried to over run the WLE. In 2061 the Rebels went to war with the WLE and were defeated magnificently. The Rebels were rounded up into death camps and killed within 24 hours of capture. Being a supporter of this group is therefore illegal. But 11 years have passed and to the remaining population of earth, sits in the back of their heads as a faint reminder of the strict, ruthless regime they live under.

The future to us is similar to the world we live today due to WW3 completely stopping production of fresh, new, groundbreaking recorces and technology; (although a branch of the WLE called NORTH STAR had been developing type 23 decomposing monopropellant multi-passenger shuttle for quadrant travel as well as nuclear warheads for future purposes). The majority of people left on earth live in London and major cities around the world. The country sides and most smaller LEDC countries have been completely deserted and abandoned, partly due to nuclear fallout. Although the world is under tight control it is still corrupt with various drug and arms gangs found all around the world.

This film follows the story of Alistair Barnes who is clone/slave to Sebastian Shawcross: a rebel disguised as a class 2 WLE London representative who is set on destroying the entire earth along with all its citizens to finally bring down the WLE so he can bring his own law and order to the Galaxy. To do this he needs the plans of a weapon so deadly it was hidden somewhere in earth by its designer Irving Hans Goldschmidt (CEO at NORTH STAR) who tried to flee to quadrant 7 but was accused of being a rebal and was sentenced to death. To find the plans he sends his clone, Alistair to find them. Shawcross believes Barnes is the best man for this job as he used to be a ruthless Metropolitan Guerrilla (the WLEs death squad/police) who was praised for his abilities of finding small rebal groups and executing them in unconventional yet civilised natures. Although this sounds like a completely unfair and unjust system, Metropolitian Guerrillas were fair and treated everyone equally (until evidence was filed against them of course) at the end of the day it was a job, and Alistair only did it because he was conforming to his social role. Near the end of the war received shrapnel from a homemade explosive to damage his head which caused bleeding in the temporal lobe. Because of this he lost all his long term memory and woke up 72 hours later with his owner Shawcross in his 10 bedroom mansion. However Alistair was not treated as a guest but more of a prisoner. To get in the WLE's good books, Shawcross used Alistair as a bounty hunter to elinate suspected Rebels and to collect information from rats scattered across the world. Alistair lost his name but instead was given the title, "The people's huntsman" or just "Huntsman". From then on he has been searching for the plans of the so called "End" bomb.

The film itself is about internal conflict and the stuggle between good and evil. It also shows the different view points of people and individuals ideologies. Shawcross is doing an evil thing but to him it's the right thing to do. This is understandable as the WLE are a dictatorship lead by the richest people in the galaxy and abuse their powers for their own benefit. The clip I will make will show Alistair find the plans but try to make the internal decision of handing them over or destroying them and running away. If he hands them over he'll die when the bomb goes off, if he doesn't he'll have Shawcross with the entire wrath of the WLE looking for him and will indefinitely destroy him.
