HEY THERE! Do you wanna read a piece of screenwriting fanfiction that I'm willing to pour so much thought, time, and creative energy into???
WELL, HAVE I GOT A SPICY MEATBALL FOR YOU!!! :biggrin:
...
In all seriousness, I've been fascinated with Kingdom Hearts for many years. I've always found it to be equal parts extremely creative, strangely compelling, and confounding in its existence, even though it's been 17 years since its release/conception.
With the release of KH III and its cinematic flourishes and gorgeous rendering, as well as a certain world whose nostalgic bliss, attention to lavish detail and convoluted storytelling of questionable quality has torn me in half, I couldn't stop thinking about what a film adaptation of KH could be like and decided to abandon any hesitation and throw my hat into the ring!
My plans for this screenplay is to create a reimagining of the central concept, limited to the first game's plot and established backstory, with new characters while retaining core themes, ideas, and different locations presented throughout the series. This way, it gives me leeway to explore new avenues in the series, whether it's to explore a new, fresh potential of character or to showcase a different perspective and style compared to the regular games' anime tone.
The actual structure and character work are still in the early stages, with this teaser being a sort of experiment with the potential tone and character exploration that I've been contemplating for a couple of weeks now.
This little excerpt is a scene of dialogue/down-time familiar to anyone who's played KH III already. It begins with the aftermath of a fight and an introduction to this particular world's characters, pulled from the game itself as well as some key dialogue, before diverging into something different in tone and ideas compared to what has been established in the Kingdom Hearts game.
...
My question to you guys is, should you choose to read, how do you think this piece of writing fares as a potential film adaptation? How does what is presented in this short mix with your preconceived idea(s) of what Kingdom Hearts is to you? Do you feel like this tone and direction is contradictory to the regular series's, or can there be a chance that this could be strong enough to stand on its own as a separate entity?
...
Lemme know how you feel about it below! Comments and honest thoughts, no matter how critical or general, are all welcome! Please don't hesitate to share constructive criticism; I'm looking for any kind of feedback here! Hope you enjoy it and find something worthwhile in it. Happy reading!!! :smile:
