These are just random notes I have for movie or television scripts I have had over the years.
Iliad
All-Star Cast. Closely follows the plot of the books including the gods fighting along with humanity. Movie ends with the destruction of Troy (song like Viva de Vida or fallen kingdom playing) and all the bloodshed is revealed to have come from a single choice of desire by the king many years prior (all this bloodshed over….) while he is looking over the burning city. In the end scene Odysseus's wife is revealed to be Athena as they embrace secretly.
Odyssey
Begins just after the fall of Troy – with the celebration of the victorious armies before heading home. Turns into a "Red Wedding" scenario where Odysseus and his disguised wife escape with their lives. After discovering their union, the pantheon issues a death mark against Odysseus and Athena – cursing their journey. They arrive on the island of Calypso who informs them of this death mark and giving them aid and gifts – including a bottle of the four winds. They depart and are cast into a fierce storm. After surviving the raging tempest, they are forced to enter the dark seas encountering sirens and Scylla (major battle). Odysseus and Athena destroy Scylla escaping the black hole her death creates via the four winds sending them into the netherworld. Traveling down the river of the underworld they get locked in the dungeons by the cult of Circe. They hatch a daring escape together from the prison, past the courtyard of werewolves, into the caverns of the dead (original inspiration for the script). In the waters of the caverns huldras try drag them to the blackened depths, barely escaping that they escape into the labyrnths of the underworld and the monsters (minotaurs, werewolves, and harpys). They unlock the door to their escape entering the great wastes of the giants which they must venture through to survive. Hunted by giants they barely make it to the wall climbing to salvation making past the reach of the gods and have their first child together in a land of peace.
Godhunter
Tells the story of a mortal man who one day meets the Goddess Artemis in the woods, they fall in love and secretly marry. She soon becomes pregnant with his child. Many months pass until one the pantheon discovers this act and then proceed to have Artemis and her unborn child killed. The man then in utter grief and rage makes a vow to kill every deity in existence. He then trains for many months along with gathering the victims of crimes of the pantheon. The man then proceeds to execute each deity including Zeus one by one, although sparring Demeter, because the only crimes she committed were in searching for her abducted daughter – prompting moral questions about how far you go for vengeance. Ultimately he arrives in the underworld and confronts Hades who killed his wife. He then dies destroying Hades along with freeing all the souls from his realm. In death he is reunited with Artemis and his daughter. The End
Dreamrealm
There once was a man who lived in a small house in the woods, one night after he had fallen asleep he woke up in a dream scape field in the middle of the woods. There he saw the glimpse of a woman gleaming in the moonlight, he followed her, and they fell in love over many nights. He would live every day just to fall asleep and meet this dream girl every night. One night, they make love for the first time on the side of a dream lake. After she briefly goes into an area of the woods, leaving him for a moment. Suddenly, everything goes dark and silent, feeling this dread wash over everything. He hears her scream and runs to find her, but nothing is left of her, no sign of her even existing. He wakes up, desperately trying to fall asleep every night trying to get into this dream realm again. Many years go by with him desperately looking for her. One day he passes by a field which looks familiar, he comes by a lake, the one where they made love for the first and last time in the dream. He goes to the area where she was taken and finds a mark on a tree, which turns into a portal which he enters trying to find his dream love.
Three endings
Everything goes to black – a question pops on the screen - What is the difference between a dream and reality, obsession and love, a wish and hope, fantasy or truth? If it is real to you and you believe in it how would you even know the difference? (Allegory for reality and truth)
He enters this dreamworld and begins a journey to find her, eventually going against a dark being who consumed her eyes and absorbed her soul. He destroys this being and pours his life into her. The movie ends with an identical woman walking through the forest alone, walking by the lake gazing at it inquisitively then shedding a single tear. (Allegory for sacrifice and selfless love)
He finds himself in a dark wooden hallway seeing a light, he runs towards it seeing the silhouette of the woman he loves. Upon reaching her she transforms into a huldra along with other beings like her and drag him into a hellish pit. (Allegory for addiction and obsession)
Other Ideas
300: Warriors – This is about a city of 300 warriors versus over a million enemies – fantasy elements, stronghold rigged, (dragon/human-female hybrid) and main character male warrior sex scene. Based on the battle of thermopoyle with lord of the rings setting. It would be best as a game.
The Nine Unknown – Time Travel story about person who travels through time to prevent atrocities from happening to innocent lives and fights against the secret society who rules the world. Trains a woman to succeed him and gives his life destroying the society for good, they also fall in love. This series features the famous nine unknown of Ashoka and their nine books – illuminati cult inspiration for villains. Final scene ends with kings & queens by Ava Max playing in an old nightclub as she sees a final form of a younger him raising a glass to her – an act done by him before his death.

Genie of the Bottle – Two iterations of the story, first about man who sells his soul in lava to save his loved one from dying from an evil ruler and spends thousands of years to pay for the action.

Ends happily with Aladdin and Jenie marrying and living happily ever after.
Disney Princesses: Save, Protect, Reign – All princesses have a super power like rapunzel's healing, jazmine's powers from the genie, aurora's power of song etc. Long story short – Rapunzel loses her mom as she narrowly escapes the city of Paris as it turns to dust due to the power of Forte– instrumental of enchanted rose and let it go play in the backround. Jazmine escapes from the serial killer who killed her mom. Elsa, Ella, Aurora, Belle, Jazmine, Rapunzel, and Kida unite during the story for different reasons to track down the three villains hunting them (Forte, Chernanbog and the serial killer (prince) who murdered Jazmine's mom).
