I’ve? flipped on my earlier position and now agree with you.? Because the story hook is embedded in the “B” story — not the “A” story.? ? And in my book, the hook is the ace high trump card.? Sometimes playing that card requires transgressing a conventional logline rule.? I think this is one such instance.? So here’s my revised take:

Either:
When a spacecraft taking colonists to a distant planet malfunctions waking up a man 90 years early, he awakens a woman to relieve his loneliness.

Or:
When a spacecraft taking colonists to a distant planet malfunctions waking up a man 90 years early, he awakens a woman to relieve his loneliness, blames it on the malfunction, and begins to court her affection.
(32 words)

This story line renders the guy as an unsympathetic character.? Which I guess explains why it took 10 years for the script to launch as a film.? And why it failed to launch at the box office.

But, hey, at leasat the check for the screenwriter cleared the bank.
