There's also one with a similar title for possible storylines.

Just something to do (other than dress up) while we aren't hearing production news for a few months.
Basically, instead of an Egyptian (Erik van Danniken^1) feel with a Mormon history overlay, I want to try a more Homeric (epic) quality with a bit of the Aeneid thrown in.

As for who could write it? I don't want Jane Espenson (though she is a decent protege of Josh Whedon) as a writer, basically because she was trained by Josh Whedon. She is too soap operaish to my taste. We need somebody who can write Space Epic for the big screen.

So its the X-Files crew, James Wong and Glenn Morgan, I tap for the screen writing duties; if someone has any brains at Universal.

^1 Not a person that I like at all.
