Tagline: Oh, why don't they just let the blasted things die out in peace!
A gentle dark comedy about loving the environment to death.
In a near future world, when well-intended environmentalism is at its peak, imagine conservation laws that shut down machines at the most inconvenient of times, an unrequited romance between a conservationist and a farmer whose livelihood she inadvertently helps to ruin, an anti-rewilding terrorist running amuck, and a Great Beaver War that foreshadows an animal apocalypse:
Army Lieutenant: "Darn! Beaten by an oversized rat. Run for your life!"
(But remember to turn off the lights before you go out)
Yes, "The Rewilders" starts with a bedtime story for two children, and includes lots of fuzzy animals and goofy bureaucrats: It's something that directors Tim Burton or Terry Gilliam would have fun with! But it also features a serious lesson about power in the hands of the few over the many, and especially the butterfly effect - in that through the comedic chaos we must recognize that Humanity has a position in the ecosystem, too. The Rewilders may bear a resemblance to Animal Farm, or even Gilliam's Brazil, but it ought to be especially enjoyed by audiences who got a kick out of Wall-E.
This fun Pythonesque fable is set mostly in Scotland except for world-wide montages of the well-intentioned but absurd rewilding efforts, and it could be done in full animation or blended live-action/CG.
Dream Cast suggestions (some of whom I have already reached out to, or their representatives):
► Professor Ally Gruberstein, 55
