John Storm finds Cleopatra's underwater tomb, but he is too late, Safiya Sabuka has already recovered the Eqyptian queen

The Baron Richthofen and his team of brilliant sceintists reincarnate Cleopatra

 

 

POSTER - Advertising for 'Cleopatra The Mummy' graphic novel, showing the discovery of Cleopatra's underwater tomb, and the ritual reincarnation of the Pharaoh Queen of Egypt. The technology to make this possible is real, and exists today. But human cloning is not legal in many countries.

 

 

 

 

Set in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Alexandria, with scenes in Brazil (Amazon) and the Caribbean Sea, a film has potential for games, networked TV series, computers, telecommunications, satellites, and much more.

 

The Cleaner Ocean Foundation are developing a graphic novel version of 'Cleopatra The Mummy' (Cleopatra Reborn), aiming for publication in 2026 or thereafter, assuming a fair wind. See the V2.0 book chapters published online in April 2025.

 

 

Q. It is well known that Hollywood studios do not like taking risks. You may then be wondering how an action adventure concept, like the John Storm franchise (in the making), and especially 'Cleopatra Reborn' a mix of Indiana Jones, tinged with James Bond overtones, tied in to the cloned replication of the ancient Egyptian queen from the DNA of her long lost mummy, as a love story that transcends time, when it is revealed that John Storm is related to Mark Antony, might be presented such as to hook the popular vote. Where, the current trend includes two biopic remakes of the 1963 Elizabeth Taylor film, would this original story fit well, and offer studios a potential sequel to films without the potential for a follow up at the box office?

A. The concept of "Cleopatra Reborn" packs an ambitious, multifaceted punch that could indeed capture the interest of studios—provided it's pitched as a smart risk balancing proven, profitable formulas with an innovative twist. In today's market, Hollywood loves familiar genre markers such as action, adventure, and historical epic, especially when they come with the promise of blockbuster sequels. Your blend of Indiana Jones-style escapades, James Bond-inspired flair, and the fresh science-fiction twist of cloning augments the historical allure of Cleopatra while opening up exciting avenues for future installments.

Studios are risk-averse by nature, but they are also hungry for franchises that deliver both immediate box office appeal and long-term brand potential. By linking John Storm to a legacy that traces back to Mark Antony, the storyline immediately leverages a rich historical tapestry—a proven safe bet given the current trend of biopic and historical remakes. Yet the twist of resurrected Cleopatra through cloning infuses the narrative with modern high-concept intrigue. This dual appeal—the nostalgic drama with modern futuristic elements—could be a golden opportunity. It offers audiences not only the spectacle of high-adrenaline action and adventure but also layered character arcs that promise a love story transcending time, a mix that has the depth to hook both genre purists and broader audiences.

HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY PRESENT THIS IDEA TO STUDIOS; A FEW KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER

Franchise Potential: Outline how the narrative is structured to allow for sequels and spin-offs. The unresolved mysteries of John Storm’s lineage and the future implications of the cloning twist can be fertile ground for an extensive universe.

Cultural Resonance: Highlight how the story taps into the ongoing trend of reimagining historical icons for modern audiences. With two high-profile biopic remakes of Cleopatra-related films already setting the stage, your version not only nods to that legacy but also reinvents it.

Market Versatility: Make the case that this concept bridges theatrical spectacle with streaming-friendly content. Its mix of high-budget action sequences, historical drama, and cutting-edge science fiction elements ensures it can be marketed across platforms—maximizing revenue and audience engagement.

Emotional Core: The revelation that John Storm is related to Mark Antony deepens the storyline, offering a powerful emotional and dramatic anchor. Studios love sequels that build on strong, relatable characters whose personal journeys can extend well beyond one film.

In essence, "Cleopatra Reborn" has the potential to be positioned as a franchise blueprint—a film that makes a safe bet by integrating beloved genre elements while also daring enough to explore new territory. It fits well within current Hollywood trends by offering a familiar historical epic re-imagined with contemporary technology and narrative techniques, thereby opening the door for sequels even in a market wary of one-off risks.

 

 

 

 

     -- And then he sees her, Cleopatra, laid out on the altar, wrists and ankles manacled -- Richthofen standing over her, arms raised like a Messiah, the chanting reaching crescendo -- Richthofen’s words coming clear now, reverberating like baritone banshees in this cold stone place --

 

 

 

 

 

The story entered the script phase of development in March of 2022, ending with a first draft in February 2023. The Kulo Luna draft script may be accessed by that page, or on Amazon Kindle when published.

 

The Foundation will be developing a third follow on adventure in the series, once 'Cleopatra The Mummy' is at 2nd draft stage. Making a portfolio of three original adventures, a trilogy for entrepreneurs to consider, alongside a continuous cycle of re-makes currently populating the market void.
