Copernicus’ Secret: It takes a lifetime for Nicolaus Copernicus to re-write our understanding of the Universe but plagued by self-doubt and fear, he’s unwilling to publish until a Protestant Professor risks imprisonment to convince him to publish.

Hello,
about the movie on Marie Curie (x-ray scientific pioneer), david mamet said that you just want to know why Marie’s?dog Skippy is dead. I thinks what you need in your movie is your Skippy dog.
I love the idea of a movie on this subject, and the relationship between the scientist and the protestant is a good angle,
but,
when I read “It takes a lifetime for Nicolaus Copernicus” I’m deadly bored 🙂 For 2 reasons, 1) I’m not interested in a lifetime work that happens before the story starts (and the story starts, for me, when something clear happens, like the meeting with the protestant professor).
2) I would say just “copernicus” not Nicholaus Copernicus, or just Nichoalaus (Amadeus…), but “Nicoalus Copernicus” is a scholar formulation.
You mention a risk of prison, this is when my moviegoer ears rised. But the prison is for the protestant professor… The risk and the stakes belongs mostly to the main character… Wouldn’t be better to make the professor the main character? Or, you should include in the logline the stakes for Copernicus not for his mentor.

Hello, I think I don't get it right... usually (not necessarely) you collect a bounty when you kill someone or when you capture someone, not when you save someone...

About, the main character, can’t you say she’s a clairvoyant? A clairvoyant doesn’t see the whole future but only some ‘slices’ and it’s often confused and ambiguous, I think it fits the charcter.
One more thing,”save” is vague and not effective since we don’t know from what the man is saved.

Hello, I find it quite confusing, I agree with those who said you should to focus on the (one, clear) inciting event (what puts the story in motion). I suggest also to state the time/place (I'm still not sure if it's before christ or today) , and to avoid the word "zealots" maybe it's just me but IRead more
Hello,
I find it quite confusing, I agree with those who said you should to focus on the (one, clear) inciting event (what puts the story in motion).
I suggest also to state the time/place (I’m still not sure if it’s before christ or today) , and to avoid the word “zealots” maybe it’s just me but I had to look on the dictionary. For me, a “jewish sect” could?be enough to characterize the opponent.
