Idea 2. That's a movie I would like to see/ book to read.
Honestly I think the vampire thing is circling the bowl. Even zombies are beginning to wear thin.

With Star Trek and the up coming star wars movies I think the space thing is the way to go.

Idea 2. If done well can really make us look at ourselves differently.

Agree with Drich (words I never thought I would say) about Idea 1. Anything about vampires or zombies just looks like they're milking the trend and not really serious pieces.

Idea 2. Especially if it involvs gas masks somehow. Devil

Vampires seemed to be the thing five to ten years ago, but overall interest seems to be dwindling.

The problem with the alien scenario is that there never is a properly good one. It would have to be as amazing as Avatar to catch my attention.

I would probably see both, but 2 seems more appealing.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Idk I really like Prometheus.

I think the space thing will be good if the Brits aren't given the script to produce.. ;P (they think they can do sci fi just because they like it..) But the world knows 'who' can and 'who' can't do sci fi

I think option 2 holds a lot of potential. You can model it after earth's history and introduce tons of ethical problems (something good scifi always tries to do), would also be a reverse of the usual alien invasion story, now humans will be the invaders and you can get the aliens to do what we've always thought we'd do to aliens who come and visit us: nuke them or study them. It'll be really interesting and people would have to consider if one of the requirement for being an intelligent lifeform is to be cruel and dangerous because we'll see ourselves in these aliens.


...


Yea ... it's really late and I haven't slept for a while. But still, option 2 so much better than option 1. Not sure if there's even much room for originality in vampire stories.

Avatar was Pocahontas in space, and with no musical numbers, and super racist. Considering the whopping budget, I was definitely unimpressed. Don't get me wrong, my heart broke when Sigourney Weaver lost all her research (it's an anthropologist thing)... I mean, uh, when the evil white people cut down the Great Tree.
