Development Pitch
Continuing where the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still" ends, with Eugenus as my Klaatu and Amigo his Gort, they instead keep the peace in our populated Solar System, and from Martian domination fueled by the insatiable ambitions of Metellus, Eugenus' brother, and nemesis. Eugenus, The Series hopes to answer the question entertainingly and profoundly: who/what will keep the peace throughout the Solar System as humans overrun it? The possibilities are endless. In the 26th Century, Mars will be the primary villain after centuries of terraforming and Earth colonies populating it. They will seek Independence, steal technologies, and seek to establish a militarized space program. Metellus, Eugenus' sole sibling and older brother, will rise to be Mars' First Dictator. He will pursue total dominance of the Solar System's governance.
