Tester - A Neurotech Movie Script Bought by Dreamworks

Email This Entry

Posted by Zack Lynch

reality.jpgOnly in Hollywood...The Hollywood Reporter says that DreamWorks and Parkes/MacDonald Productions have acquired the spec script Tester by first-time screenwriter Colin Trevorrow.

The story centers on a young war vet suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder who is recruited for a secret clinical trial that promises to cure his symptoms. He soon discovers that the chip implanted in his brain is not medicine -- it is advanced neurotechnology designed to control his body as a weapon of war.

Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald are producing. The neuroethics community is sure to have a field day with this one.

They were caught in their black budget project by ABC News 20/20 when they stumbled onto them back in the 70's. Implanting chips is what I wrote about them doing and tried to document as best I could.
