Amelia 2.0 Page #4

Synopsis: When his wife Amelia suffers an aneurysm that leaves her bedridden and slowly dying, police officer Carter Summerland searches for a way to revive her. He's approached by Wesley Enterprises about allowing Amelia to be the test subject for an experimental program that will place her mind in a new, artificial body - and out of desperation, Carter agrees. But is the result really Amelia Summerland? Or is it something else entirely? Set in the very near future, The Summerland Project uses current, existing technology as a launchpad for a story about where the line truly is between life and death, and to ask the question: What is is that makes us human?. It explores the motivations behind the team that creates Amelia, from genius but standoffish Dr. Ellen Beckett to the kind yet arrogant industrialist Paul Wesley, who funds the work. It explores the fallout in the scientific, legal and religious community, with opposition to the project spearheaded by the passionate Senator Williams. But mo

something big on the horizon

for the multi-billion

dollar research facility.

Many may remember

Wesley enterprises

was in a similar situation

just a few years ago.

- What else do you wanna do?

When you're not

ticketing adorable women

for going five over.

- This isn't just Wesley

enterprises playing it safe.

- We've seen

literally everything

from this company.

Solar powered blankets,

mission heat tiles,

robot sex toys.

I think it's safe...

- to expect the unexpected.

- Is Paul Wesley sparking

another scientific revolution?

We'll just have to wait and see.

- And we say they fear

what they do not understand.

Talk about some of the good

that Wesley enterprises...

- It is with our faith in you

that we commit her

body, heart, her being,

into your hands.

Into your hands.

- Hello.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Step away from each other.

- Hey, that's enough.

Back off.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- You back up and stay there.

Don't move.

- You back off, a**hole.

- Do not move.

- Oh my god!

- Hey, what the f***

is the matter with you?

Hey!

Get in the car.

- I wrote a poem.

- What about the soul?

What about the fact that we

are created in god's own image?

Quite frankly, I'm shocked

that a Nobel prize winner

like Dr. Beckett

would engage in work

that seems to suggest that

being human is nothing special.

Which on the face of it...

- actually, senator,

I think human beings

are extremely special

and worth saving.

- Senator, if someone has

early stage Alzheimer's,

then if the technology

that she advocates

becomes reality, it

could save them, correct?

- I believe there's a reason

why we don't live forever.

We're not meant to.

- Human beings weren't

meant to fly either.

We weren't meant

to travel in space.

We weren't meant to

talk to each other

from across the world.

- Doctor...

- Dialysis,

heart transplants,

bypass surgery.

You're familiar with that

one, aren't ya, senator?

- Well, since I see you

wish to make this personal,

I'd just throw that

question right back at you.

- That's a good

point, Dr. Beckett.

Many are familiar with the

tragedy that took your daughter.

Are you saying in

theory you'd really

be willing to

replace her this way?

Don't you think as

her mother that might

cheapen her memory?

- If you see what we're doing

as frankensteining someone.

Which is absolutely

not the case.

- That is exactly

what you're doing.

- We are talking

about transplants.

- The idea behind the technology

that god has given us?

That's not the problem.

But with what some

people might do with it.

This theory

that Dr. Beckett...

- this is not

a theory, senator.

This will happen.

You will see us save someone's
