I find the first half of your prompt/logline to be confusing. What do you mean by, "...cares dearly in the near future"?

Nick Assunto

I think it's a typo and just missing "for" Pierre Langenegger

Pierre Langenegger

Nick Assunto even with the "for", that sentence is a mess.

Covinfox Kao

Pierre Langenegger : Thank you for pointing out the issue, In the near future was supposed at front. Grammarly changed it to the back lol.

Anthony Moore

Try this:

"In the near future, an arrogant man learns a lesson in humility when he must go on a quest to find the cure to a world ravaging plague that has ripped away the only people that he has ever loved."

Craig D Griffiths

I don’t see it as a movie sorry.

It is a microbiologist doing science stuff.

Super interesting, but not a movie. Who is going to oppose him stopping a pandemic? So once we find a way of overcoming infection for the research team. Even that goes away.

It is a story, not a movie in my opinion.

Bo. R. R. Tolkien

The organism didn't kill anybody. It transformed them into an alien species. They didn't die, they were incubating. The man searches for the cure and finds something extraordinary. The microorganism creates aliens that can time travel because it enhanced people's pineal glands. But they can only travel once and to a past.
