ARP’s Movie Script Coverage Service aims to provide a written outline of the author’s book—a screenplay—that will be stored in a database that major studios can consult when seeking stories to adapt into films. Recently, a Hollywood-style script was released for “Chronicles Of The Ancient Future” by Richard Hoffman. The story presents a fascinating concept that blends time travel with philosophical and theological themes, offering a unique take on a well-explored genre.
In the journey from adapting a novel into a movie screenplay, there are essential intermediate steps that pave the way for success. One such critical step is the transition from coverage, which provides an initial analysis of the source material, to the film treatment.
This transition is not only a natural progression but also serves as a pivotal moment in the adaptation process. Once coverage is complete and the decision to proceed with an adaptation is made, the next logical step is the creation of the film treatment. A treatment is a detailed document that outlines how the source material will be translated into a screenplay. It serves as a bridge between the novel and the final script, providing a roadmap for the adaptation process. The film treatment is the crucial intermediary step that takes the adaptation from the conceptual phase to the concrete phase of writing the screenplay.
The screenplay is the common ground on which producers, directors, actors, and production teams working on the movie will collaborate from start to finish, and it serves as a roadmap for them in terms of what will be seen on the big screen. The production of the Movie Script coverage is to prepare for the screenplay to be produced.

The book presents the story of a businessman who was always looking for a new adventure to invest in to make his legacy greater. He should have known his next adventure was going beyond anything previously encountered. Despite his disturbing dream, he was not aware of what was to ensue.
At the onset, this adventure appeared to be quite lucrative. However, as the adventure progressed in its unfoldment, it led him to some other unsettling paradigms. He found himself in other time zones and even on other planets. Initially, the pattern of these events seemed obscure. After a few shocking revelations, he realized that there was a purpose to the pattern. The purpose was that of the Ancient Future.
People wrestle with the idea of a predestined future versus a fluid future determined purely by our choices. The latter prevails in our present culture. But is it absolute?
