Carl Berryman’s “Divided We Fall” receives its movie treatment, bringing the book closer to a Hollywood film adaptation
Carl Berryman’s dystopian novel Divided We Fall has now moved a step closer to a Hollywood film adaptation with its new movie treatment.
The movie treatment will be made accessible to an online database where film producers and movie studios scout for what would become their next blockbuster movies. It includes a logline, character description, and a three-act summary that are essential elements of a film.
With the book’s latest milestone, it’s only a matter of time before Divided We Fall makes it to the big screens in cinemas across the world. The logline, in particular, teases an intriguing overview of the whole story:
Six years after the 2020 Pandemic, chaos rocks the entire world as another virus begins to spread amidst economic meltdown, wars between nations, and states’ separation in the United States of America.
In the book, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and the Dakotas are on the edge of withdrawing from the federation of states as they find the Constitution to be meaningless. The United Nations takes control of America and rumors of another civil war are brewing. World War III eventually took place in 2013.
The federal government, led by the socialist left and President Richard Newkirk, now confiscates guns while skirmishes between ethnicities, riots, and violence are on the rise. Ethan Bradley, the protagonist, is wanted by the state for his views on the second amendment.
Left by his wife, a liberal, Bradley has been commissioned to command a brigade of infantry in the Big Horn Basin, Wyoming. Ultimately, the Republic of Nation of Missouri gains freedom while the president is put behind bars, now facing court trial for attempted murder and treason even though he sought to prevent the Union from disbanding.
