BROOKLYN NINE-NINE
Spec by Travis Olson
Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I'm a huge Andre Braugher fan from Homicide: Life on the Streets. That's how they hooked me initially and then they reeled me in with the ensemble chemistry and refreshing clever-silliness.
The world has changed mightily since the show began and as Season 8 approaches, I wondered how they were going to address the current need for change and understanding. I tried to put myself in that room and plan for Season 8.
This is my Season 8, Episode 1.
CAPTAIN BRITAIN
Spec by Travis Olson
The Marvel movies have just been an unbelievable phenomenon. In my life, I never thought there would be a representation of comic books done so magnificently. And here we are...
My introduction to comics came through my brother being a Batman fan, my journey started with X-men and they led me to Excalibur. I can't tell you why, but Captain Britain just spoke to me.
The Captain Britain I grew up with was smart and flawed, hotheaded and compassionate, powerful and frail. There was also a "cheekiness" to his adventures. I adored this era of Excalibur during my childhood.
Flash forward. I am an adult. The world is accepting of comic books and they have shown that they can do them justice in movies and television. I want to be a writer. A writer should write what they want to see.
As I am new to Spec Scripts and I want to be as responsible and respectful as I can. I am utilizing this script as practice in writing and for compiling a pitch for a television series. Where I can, I shall attribute ownerships.
I decided to write a spec based off of the Alan Moore and Alan Davis run as it is a brilliant arc to base a Season One from and as a perfect jump off for new audiences.
