Nine Inch Nails - Head Like A Hole

the hot zone
was the title of the script I wrote in 1989.
It was rewritten and split up into three different block buster movies
I was never paid or recognized for the effort
at least I registered it and the book "the hot zone" had to change it's title for the film version to "Outbreak" because I registered mine first
It was a story about debt
debt
from a victims pov (point of view)
she was a drug addict as a teenager and would have done anything to obtain a high
so she was sold to a gang of masochists who used, mutilated her body and left her for dead
but she survived
and when she regained a place in society as a law abiding, functioning citizen
she recognized the gang leader who sold her hiding behind a clean veneer of the political right
so she went after him in a state of craze
infiltrating law enforcement
conducting her own investigation, knowing the suspect was guilty
but her enforcement partner insisted on getting evidence first so they could arrest him proper
She was willing to do anything.
Anything.
...
anyway,
it was a damn good script and a damn good story
which no one will ever read again
no one will ever see it
the way I saw it
