Last time I thought that one of my previous posts (“Earth Wars”) could be a peculiar screenplay for the movie. Surely such a film would be an exciting and exacting challenge for the B-movie director.
It could be a low-budget pastiche of famous George Lucas’ “Star Wars” trilogy. To be more precisive, I mean the series of movies from ’70 and ’80. These films are pure classics for me. Another masterpiece that we could somehow transform into B movie is another science-fiction movie. Mike Hodges directed this film. “Flash Gordon” movie possesses unforgettable and inspirational music. The legendary band “Queen” composed the soundtrack.
The pictures presented in “Earth Wars” could be a starting, inspirational point to create this kind of movie.
For me, my images are stills from the film set. It could be scary and at the same time funny pastiche also of other films. Peter Jackson’s “Braindead,” Stanley Kubick’s “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” or comedies with Leslie Nielsen, could be another movie from which we could take inspiration. Inspiration to shoot B-movie “Earth Wars.”
If we mix all the essence of mentioned-above films and add the scenario where lost aliens, named Boxoids, landed on Earth to ask Earthlings about the route back to their planet, I am sure that it would appear one of the most strange movies ever made.
Such a film would tell us a story that could describe humans as one of the most aggressive and primitive civilizations which ever appeared in the universe. Moreover, we should realize that the message of this B-movie would be the fact that we are not aware of this fact. Maybe we are so violent that we would attack the Unknown, in this case, Aliens. Like the primal tribe from the North Sentinel Island, which strikes today, everyone who tries to contact them. We, the humans, would be shown as a dummy, striving for self-destruction creatures.
I am sure it would be a classic of all B-movies.
In one of the scenes, our civilization could be compared to the scavenger tribe. The tribe’s name is Jawas. They appeared in “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.” Jawas were combing the deserts of Tatooine and looking for droids or scraps which they would capture and sell to the residents. The only difference between Jawas and humans in the “Earth Wars” film would be the fact that people would not collect scrap. In this film, humans would collect coins.
