The War of Wills
Feature Film Screenplay
3D Photorealistic Feature Film Script tentatively scheduled to go into production in 2028 at Circle B Productions LLC. The award winning script was the first screenplay written by Todd Bull. It was later rewritten when the writing team of Todd Bull and Olivia Montgomery Bull formed in 2016. Protagonist William Jackson is an escaped slave who bares witness to many of the signature events from the Civil War era as he searches for a former slave owner who destroyed his family.
When WILLIAM JACKSON, a slave and coachman for Confederate President Jefferson Davis, overhears a secret plan utilizing guerrilla tactics to win the Civil War, he risks his life by escaping to the North with the news.
Soon he’s collaborating with ABRAHAM LINCOLN and becomes a covert assassin. Paired and trained with PEYTON LASALLE, a former slave owner, the duo are forced to bond while wreaking havoc on the South.
As bodyguards for Lincoln, they’re eyewitnesses to history, including General Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. Unable to protect Lincoln at Ford’s Theater, William’s rage turns towards TED WRIGHT, his sadistic former owner and leader of the Southern guerrilla war plan.
William and Peyton take up the hunt for Ted in San Francisco, his last known location. They get help from a young Chinese prostitute named SUN SU, and an eccentric local figure named EMPEROR NORTON. By double-crossing Ted, the team exposes Confederate plans to dominate California and commandeer a huge stash of treasure.
The trail leads them to the coast of Northern California, where William escapes the harrowing sinking of the famous BROTHER JONATHAN loaded with gold. Meanwhile Peyton lays a trap for the Confederates inland with the aid of a band of freed slaves.
The Union fighters win the battle and help bring to an end the epic struggle between North and South, but Peyton is mortally wounded. With his last breath he urges William to win the peace.
In the aftermath, William dedicates his life to building a thriving community in California, embracing tolerance for all races.
