Dearest HopefulRomantic,
In honor of your screen name, your ID, I am delighted to share the script/film logline:
Logline: The film is about a Titanic/titanic love story for a new generation, capturing and seducing the broadest continuum of demographics, across the globe. It is a story of exploration, not of outer-space so much as it is an exploration of inner-space, with an outer-space backdrop.

Thank you ever so much for your advice, HopefulRomantic! I will check out Fanfiction in just a moment. Firstly, and I've made this clear to everyone I've communicated with to date, including the Hollywood types, WHOMEVER gets the script into film production will earn ALL proceeds. I'm old, sick, and don't need the money. [Please don't take this information as spam; I am responding to a helpful comment.] Having taught about intellectual property rights at both the undergraduate and graduate levels (American meaning of these terms) with full faculty appointments for 21 years prior to early retirement, I will accept credit for the ideas, the script. However, all the MONEY goes to the one or ones who move this project along. It could be YOU! I've thought about ambushing John Billingsley (Phlox) at a convention by handing him a thumb drive with script and two small gif files, but I do not think I will be up to it healthwise. Naturally, if someone would like to do that for me, all the better. Dr. Phlox is arguably the third most important character in the film script. As I pointed out to his agent, Michael Greene (and his staff at GreenTalent, Cory Wang, Kiernan McCaffrey, and Kristen Bjorge):

John Billingsley states, among other things:
“Once in a blue moon, I get an offer, but generally speaking, there's not a job on that list I haven't had to go out and audition for. For a character guy, nobody is really going to make a series about a paunchy, middle-aged, four-eyed ... with the exception of Paul Giamatti, we do not carry shows. So, we audition. And it's gig after gig after gig after gig after gig.”

Well, how would it be if Greene Talent took:
(per John Billingsley’s self-deprecating remarks) “lunch-bucket guy, 'cause that's what I've always considered myself ... I'm kind of a blue-collar actor”
. . . and made your client, Mr. Billingsley, SPECTACULARLY SUCCESSFUL, beyond victorious, beyond vindicated. In my film script, and from the beginning, the character of Dr. Phlox is given whole monologues that are potentially Oscar winning. What better character for your client to leverage?
For Mr. Michael Greene, proprietor, it may interest you to know that in addition to my earned doctoral degree and 21 years of academic experience as marketing professor, I made my living in industry, marketing, for the better part of a decade prior to academia. I often found that telling a story was key to building a mutually beneficial long-term relationship. I would share with a prospect how a client had a problem and how we resolved the problem.
As detailed in the above referenced syfy.com article, Mr. Billingsley details his “problems.”
How would it be if his management team, Greene Talent, gets a Billingsley-friendly film script into the right hands and thereby, ultimately, earns the client an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Now, that is a success story. I can readily envision, as a consequence, many potential clients beating down your door!
The attached film script is corrected for some errors, polished, and perhaps most importantly, provides rationale for some core scenes. One cannot and should not be held responsible for connecting all the dots in a single reading, which is an investment in itself. For instance, the bedrock Lady in Red script scene (pp. 70-73) is not just about music and haute couture, but about “dead (fellow) crewman (who) resurrects and LOVES.” It is ALSO about finally getting to go home, which is still 8 weeks away for the crew at minimum due to distance in the story. No longer will 150 crewmembers wake every morning wondering if their heroic mate is up to travel, finally. That alone would make some weep, getting home to loved ones. Bring it all together, and it’s an emotional scene. I spelled it out in the attached revision.
In closing,
I have some ideas to help your client, Mr. John Billingsley. I have some ideas on who to contact in moving the film project along for your client's benefit and thereby your benefit. For instance, there is billionaire Paul G. Allen and his Vulcan Productions. He would weep at the conclusion of the film script and no doubt insist to be involved through his media company. There is the wealthy Mr. and Mrs. Michael Rapino – Mrs. Rapino (Jolene Blalock) of course being the actress playing the character T’Pol of Vulcan—for which she could earn an Oscar for Best Actress in a film based on my script, and further in closing,
Thank you for your patience in reading this lengthy email. I look forward to your kind reply,
Michael
