The Apocalypse to Come in 'The Days Before'

Now this is what I call thinking "outside the box". Warner Bros. has snapped up THE DAYS BEFORE, a creepy sci-fi action spec by tyro scribe Chad St. John. The story, which reminds me like an episode of "The Twilight Zone" mixed with elements of THE TERMINATOR, centers on aliens invading Earth by traveling backwards through time and wiping out humanity -- yesterday by yesterday -- while one man stays a yesterday ahead of them, trying to convince the world that the end is coming again.

Shit Idea, and Heres why. Look i love weed as much as next man, but sometimes it makes inferior ideas seems superior. Ok if the Aliens Destroy the day then they can rule from that day forward. why the fuck would they want to destroy the day before the day that they won. Unless they fucked up somehow and they are always traveling back in time- think groundhog day. The shit just doesn't make sense. It fucking doesn't make a lick of fucking sense. It sounds all trippy because lets face it people this shit weas conceived after some one smoked a shitload of green. Don't try to make me think otherwise. why do they have to go day by day backwards to wipe out humanity as soon as you go back you change tomorrows outcome so everything you did then no longer is what you did so you would have to go forward again to make sure what you did backwards didn't fuck with what you did in the day after that. SHITTTTTTT IDEAAAAAAA and it's a spec which means no screenplay it's just a brain fart, tossed around with pictures and a catchy speech...

Now if the guy going back can convince others before it happens then the people are prepared when the aliens try to attack. So now the aliens have to show up before this guy said something, and they could time that to minutes before he arrived in the past if they studied his movements a pattern emerges and they could calculate it to mere minutes, but heres the thing how can you convince everyone that they will be invade. I dare you to try- you knwo what happesn they lock you up for 24 hours and then they send you loose. See again fucking dumb idea. This pitch made money, I can't fucking believe it!!!!

Jesus phantom you're a mensch. This idea sounds pretty awesome to me, very Twilight Zone very cool. Sure it has kinks that may need to be explored but if the world were run by guys like you phantom then there'd be no quirky films ever made. Just easily digestible, by-the-numbers action thrillers with no room for interpretation. This film could be god or shit but I say let's decide AFTER it gets rolling, not before.
