Man: What if I were an entire Universe?!
Voice: YOU ARE!
Man: Yes! So much power! The energies of a zillion stars contained within me!
Voice: WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY
Man: Yes. That is true.
Voice: SO USE YOUR POWER CAREFULLY
Man: Ok.
3 YEARS LATER
Man: I have done so much, helped so many people.
Voice: BUT WAS IT ENOUGH?
Man: Do not make me doubt myself, Voice. For if I doubt myself, I doubt an entire universe.
Voice: WAS IT ENOUGH?
Man: Stop it! If I doubt myself I can blink out of existence. An entire universe could disappear!
Voice: I KNOW. I AM THE VILLAIN!
Man: Voice, I have all the powers of the myselfiverse at my command. Don’t fuck with the ‘verse!
Voice: YOU FOOL. I HAVE THAT SAME POWER TIMES TWO BECAUSE I’M TWO UNIVERSES!
Man: Hey now that I think about it, where are you anyway? Where is your voice coming from?
Voice: OH JUST ALL AROUND YOU IS ALL. YOU SEE, I AM WAY BIGGER THAN YOU. THE REASON I AM TWO UNIVERSES IS BECAUSE I AM A UNIVERSE AND THEN PLUS YOU ARE INSIDE ME AND YOU’RE A UNIVERSE SO THAT EQUALS TWO.
Man: But I will defeat you, Voice. This universe is only big enough for one of us.
Voice: THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT TRUE. NEVERTHELESS, I WILL DESTROY YOU AND USE YOUR ENERGY TO GET SUPER POWERS.
The Voice and the man fight throughout the rest of the movie, and it is truly an epic fight because the Voice is a whole universe larger than the

Long time reader, first time commentator. I like this screenplay, but if I was a big time hollywood money producer I think I'd take a pass. Is it because of the special effect budget? Fuck no-- that would be worth it. Is it because of how difficult it would be to explain how someone could have the entire power of the universe in them, have someone else with the same powers inside them, and be in them? Not at all-- that's what graphics and prerelease advertising are for. Did you know that before the movie "Casino Royale" came out the average movie goer had seen an average of 3,000 print ads and more that 100 commercials? Wow. We could easily help the audience understand the whole "universe in universe in universe concept" on NPR or some bullshit. That's fucking simple.
Okay then-- is it because a movie like this has never been made before, and I'm a scared and trepidatious to do something new? Fuck you buddy: I'm no coward. And even if I was, this movie has a very similiar plot to several excellent movies that did VERY well in the 80s. (eg) No, the reason I'd never greenlight this movie-- the reason I'd toss this screenplay into the trash and non-chalantly go to lunch at Wolfgang Puck's-- is because, to quote Cecil B. DeMille, "There ain't no bitches in it." Yes, there's not a single woman in the whole picture! Anyone who's anyone in hollywood movie-making will tell you one thing about selling a movie to the public: you gotta have a whole bushellful of titties in a movie, bitch. They'll use those exact words, and if you don't believe me you can either waste your whole life trying to get this made or you can change the text around a little bit and add Denise Richards in the shower in the corner of the screen for the whole movie. Now that would be a blockbuster.
What is this? Does this have anything to do with Men in Black?
