    This is what I’m reading:

    Two tribes become stranded on a dying planet (How/ Why?)

    This event causes the two ‘tribes’ (races?) to go to war (How/ Why?…the only way i could see this plausibly happening is if one tribe blames the other for becoming stranded on the dying planet..?)

    To avert/ stop the war an astrophysicist decides that terraforming(?) the planet will somehow accomplish this..(or is it a different planet? … That’s confusing…because they’d have to leave said dying planet to reach said ‘new’ planet, which means they’re not actually stranded…;) )

    Regardless, what’s our hero’s MAIN action — to convince the Enemy that he can terraform a planet, or to terraform the planet? And more to the point, if it’s SECRET, i.e. the Enemy doesn’t even know about it, how could it be used as some kind of peace offering? In Red Mars (a novel, not a film… Yet…) it takes ’em decades, in fact centuries, to terraform Mars… The only way that the author, Kim Stanley Robinson, gets away with it is by the creation of a drug that extends the average human lifespan to 500 years plus…Your guy would have to have some pretty wiz bang method of terraforming planets for me to digest your premise… But who knows?

    FWIW, Georgie Boy Lucas’s early drafts of Star Wars are a sprawling mess (not to suggest your screenplay, if written, is…) — if you haven’t read them I’d strongly recommend it — they seem way too focused on the sci-fi elements as opposed the final film’s story, which is simple and well refined, IMO. It can begin and end in getting the story in the longline — and as others have already mentioned, it’s confusing at the moment…

    But good luck nonetheless 😉

    A dynamic young woman (witness and rescuer) and a reporter of the National Geographic (safe passenger) meet on the scene of a train crash. Over the course of seven days, while the disaster consequences fade and despite the increasing hostility of her father, they grow closer up to a bond; then a lasting union while her father will be won over under pressure from her maid and confidante.

    Nice work -- leaps and bounds from the original. I'd go the Allen Palmer version, and personally, would only change a couple of things..

    Nice work — leaps and bounds from the original. I’d go the Allen Palmer version, and personally, would only change a couple of things..

    ‘After she meets the love of her life, a young woman struggles to overcome her domineering father with the help of her something/ maid’

    …but this is just my personal taste… Your revised logline gives us the spine of the story… but I’m still most intrigued by the maid…. which is cool. 😉

    But one parting question — when and where is it set?

    Continued success and happy writings 🙂
