An academic must work with a Romanian deity to uncover ancient knowledge, in order to stop his brother-god from unleashing a second life-ending flood. (Urban Fantasy)
As the others have said.And if he's a god why does he need the help of a mere mortal?? Why can't he -- why doesn't he just do the job himself?? Isn't that the whole point of having gods in stories -- because they can do things humans can't?? So why doesn't the deity do the research himself??fwiw

And if he’s a god why does he need the help of a mere mortal?? Why can’t he — why doesn’t he just do the job himself?? Isn’t that the whole point of having gods in stories — because they can do things humans can’t?? So why doesn’t the deity do the research himself??

Come to think about it, I think it’s a potentially cool concept.? It would be another story working off the primal wish of getting a 2nd chance to live one’s life over,? to right the wrongs, to make better decisions.? And I would suggest her biological time clock should age — or rather youth — backwards one day at a time.? However, the world doesn’t.? It keeps moving forward in time.? Which presents interesting choices she has to make.
But I fear that the 1st reaction of most movie makers will be what mine was, “Oh,? that was already done with ‘Benjamin Button’.” So I think the logline (as well as the script) needs not only a different inciting incident (which you’ve got ) but a more interesting objective goal than finding the manufacturer.? I think her objective goal should be to seize the opportunity to live the life she always wanted to live but didn’t have the guts to live.

Just making this a separate post to make it searchable. Regarding a character being emotionally detached. Yes, there are real people like that. But:
Even in pure action movies, in the best ones, the character cares. They don?t have to wear it on their sleeves, but they do. I?m not saying, make it a love story. This is were you differentiate between a great movie, maybe a masterpiece and an ok movie, which could maybe attract audience with fancy action sequences and/or?cgi, although, audiences are finally asking for more there, too. The protagonist needs to have an inner life. At least one meaningful relationship. They must feel and care. Maybe not show it much, but care they must.
Because why? You want the audience to care, go on an emotional journey. You want them to feel something. I mean other that woah, that was a cool action scene. Unless you?re fine with a detached audience.
