Brief

Lordiah comes to Earth thousands of years ago from the planet Heofon in a spaceship made out of a moon and creates a race of bipedal creatures to mine gold needed to save their home planet. He and his allies have been behind much biblical and scientific history. They must defeat his arrogant half brother Apollyon before he can hurt Lordiah's daughter Luna and cause an apocalypse.

What We Liked

Moon People has a clear sense of what it is and the story it wants to tell so it should be successful with the audience it's trying to reach. For people who like their science fiction not to take itself too seriously this would be a great fit.

Film: A film of Moon People would combine the revisionist humor of 'A History of the World Part One' and the outer space hijinks of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' into a battle of good versus evil with laughs along the way. There's enough to make you think without making your heart sink and enough fun to keep you coming back for more.

TV: A television series based of Moon People would have fun with human history from our biblical origins to our scientific progress. These technologically advanced aliens will time and time again show off behavior that is all too human with all the conflict that entails. Their continued struggle for our mutual survival will present questions about who we really are and where we go from here. It's tone and sense of humor are a breath of fresh air in a market of science fiction that is grey and serious.

Key points: Good vs Evil. Sense of humor. Naturally episodic story. Likeable main character. Whole of human history to pull from.

Synopsis

As a young girl Luna has a loving father. As an adult who was orphaned Luna pillages a house dressed as a firefighter and finds a photo of her with the father who abandoned her and a series of diaries.

Meanwhile on a secret base inside the moon, Lordiah and friends deflect two asteroids from Earth. Lordiah is an alien who's been around Earth for over seven thousand years. He goes to his home in Brentwood and finds Luna rooting around, she recognizes her father. Lordiah stuns her and takes Luna to the moon where he begins to explain.

Flashback to Lordiah on Heofon, the tenth planet of the solar system, where King Osilu rules over the largest country on a planet riven by strife and a fading atmosphere. These people have long experimented with life on Earth, creating the dinosaurs and humans. They plan to use the latter to mine gold which can save their planet's environment. For the journey they take a moon made into a spaceship, the Living Unit Navigational Asteroid, or Luna.

They go to mine is the luscious green planet of Mars. The mission goes badly after a coup on the home world. General Aries takes over the mining and forces everyone, including Lordiah's half brother Apollyon to work themselves to near death. The VIPs escape to the moonship and Apollyon launches missile back at the pursuing forces that wipe out all life on the planet.

On Earth they set up Earth Den or 'E-Den' and produce clones of Lordiah called Advance Design Anthropomorphic Male or 'ADAM'. They are soon joined by easier to train Eves and in time they are so good at reproducing that they introduce morals and marriage to regulate them. The humans are creating solely to mine gold. Lordiah has a child with Leilana named Ramar while Apollyon's wife gives birth to Zetus aka Zeus.

The Heofons learn that by injecting gold into themselves they can create a fountain of youth, extending their lives from hundreds of years to thousands. They set up an economic system to encourage the workers to keep producing gold. Ramar and Zetus both mate with human women. Ramar's child is Enoch and begins the line of biblical prophets. They realize that leaving the Earth will cause a cataclysm that will destroy most life so the leave Noah and friends an ark when they depart.

Upon returning to Heofon the coup plotters are overthrown by the promise of gold and the atmosphere is rehabilitated but only partially. They return to earth for more, it is now around 3,000 years ago. They encounter Abraham and Zetus destroys Sodom and Gomorrah after nearly being raped outside Lot's house.

After a drunken Zetus pushes a pregnant Leilana Ramar beats Zetus. Zetus retreats to fire a missile at them, they return fire, everyone in both places is killed. Lordiah is left with nothing. He goes on for thousands of years, while Apollyon and Leonardo are behind many of the good and evil that occur on earth. In the present Lordiah and Luna try to recover his diaries but are captured by Apollyon who wants to the return with the moonship even if it kills the earth. Luna learns she is a clone of Leilana and they are rescued by Leonardo. They put Apollyon on a ship to Heofon piloted by Major Thomas. Even if he can return it will be thousands of years later on earth by then.

Months later Lordiah and Luna work on test tubes of new and improved humans...
