It involves DNA manipulation and mutation. With a smidgen of repercussions of economic cutbacks. The elements of the story are not exactly brand new. But the way the creature evolves. What it starts out as. What it mutates into. And where it stomps around are something rather unique. And potentially much scarier than the typical movies I've seen so far. Part of the draw is that the creature is likeable by the general public because it will be dinosaur like in apperance. And everyone likes dinosaurs. But it starts out as a common animal we all know and see all the time and will only be about twice the size of a human. Until the end. *I'd like it to become a Godzilla sized creature at the end. But I'm having a hard time deciding how to do that in a semi-believable way (maybe the second generation would become bigger). To put it simply: Imagine a dinosaur type creature small enough to hide in city alleys. With special powers that make it more interesting. Running around the city. Hiding in the shadows and ambushing innocent city dwellers. And the first thing you see is glowing eyes behind it's victims before each attack. With lots of time spent on the actual metamorphosis of the creature's evolution. And a good scientist and lab set up. They alway seem to skip right over that stuff. Not exactly new stuff. But the way I'd do it would be much better and scarier than what we've gotten so far from these movie people. Lets face it. These movies don't even scare children. But mine would definately be scary. The "Jaws" of Monster movies if you will. ScottA
