Ok this movie will go down as follows.....
1. This will be in a 'near future' setting, after not only NO but now Miami has been devastated with a hurricane.
2. We will blame the hurricane on global warming and not mention the hurricane cycle, as global warming is hip (note this isn't a political statement by me, just what sells for hollywood).
3. We will have a failing, desperate, election year, and vaguely republican president who wants to score points by 'saving' New New Orleans. (again, we are selling this to hollywood).
4. We will have a 'scientist', slightly older than the soon to be mentioned protagonist scientist who has a theory about nuking these things and won't listen to any other arguments.
5. We will have the attractive yet unconventional scientist who will desperately try to get the word out to stop the older less attractive scientist. He will succeed in convincing the right people to not drop the bomb yet there will not be time to stop the drop. He will then say something like 'God help us all'. If we are desperate for dialog we will mention 'chaos theory'.
6. Both scientists will be white males (again for hollywood).
7. The explosion will not only make the hurricane radioactive, it will also make it twice as strong. When the older scientist says 'this is impossible, those readings can't be right!' the younger one will say 'congratulations, you destroyed the f5 and turned it into an f7.' or some such nonsense.
8. Love interests! First we will have the little guy, I like the ship captain idea, and perhaps we can have a forrest gump like moment in the storm where he rides it out. He will then witness the bomb blast, and somehow his wife and new baby will be involved. The young scientist will also have a love interest. She will be a hard assed (both laterally and figuratively) FBI agent who first thinks he is crazy but will come to see his genius and they will have sex at some point when they are caught in the storm in some sort of 'fuck me before we die' type of moment but they will both live, saved by the power of their love.
9. We will mostly ignore the radioactive part except that it means there will be no safe drinking water. Most of the film will be watching things fall over and giant waves break things but later we can show sick children from the radioactive water.
10. Ok I'm running out of steam here, but we need to tie this in with mans hubris, and all that stuff with some hopeful possibility that if we only act now we can save the future!
