Alright guys, I think I’ve got a bit of a storyline…
So we focus on a young Bernie Goodwin, maybe about 7, going to the Chester Zoo for the first time. Something here will happen that sparks his love of animals.
Fast forward until he’s around 22-ish, he’s on a safari in Kenya. A group of poachers take out one of the rhinos that they were looking at from their car. This is when he realizes that these animals really do need our help. He ends up moving there and doing conservation work for probably around 15 years. We introduce a couple other characters here that will come into play later, as well as his wife, who he meets there. Keep in mind that at this point the movie is maybe about 25-30 minutes long.
Something will happen which will cause Bernie to have to move back to the UK, away from the animals that he so desperately wants to help. He wants more people to gain knowledge and help our planet, but not many seem willing to. So, he starts a zoo.
(He buys land from Meyers Real Estate)
Things are going well, until we are presented with our main conflict. Dominick Meyers is a known trickster, who after waiting a decade for the zoo to grow, ends up taking it back. Now the Goodwins and some of the other people who we’ve met at this point, probably all ones from the scenarios, have to unite to take back the zoo.
The movie ends with them regaining the property, and one of them proposes making a video game based off of their message. It’s called Planet Zoo, and it is a massive hit with people all over the world.
Alright guys, what do you think? I couldn’t fall asleep last night and this all came together in my head. It’s really just a basic outline. Any thoughts?
