 In a wintry future apocalypse, ancestors of mankind resurrected by genetic engineering must battle an ancient alien threat that destroyed the dinosaurs. Knightsilver is an urgently provocative property that merges some of our oldest and most sacred philosophical truths with many of our era's most daring scholarly and scientific advances. Simultaneously lavish and sparse, utilitarian and elegant, Knightsilver is an advanced concept film that reveals by synthesis the common ground between physics and metaphysics. Comfortable with paradoxes Knightsilver boldly sets opposites against each other and then proves their union using the other side's own words and wisdom to do so. The film is both traditional and iconoclastic and introduces concepts that have been ignored for the latter half of the second millennium. Part philosophical proof, part scientific theorem, Knightsilver is all action and wonder. One reviewer wrote: "Knightsilver tears down everything you believe, and then assembles a prettier monument out of the rubble." Knightsilver—the first film from a science-fiction anthology of the same name—more than any other property, succeeds in taking all the questions no one is brave enough to ask, and delivers a cogent fusion—a perfect synthesis—of those powerful social, scientific and philosophical jurisdictions that no one believed were compatible. Knightsilver peeks behind the veil. |

Script Excerpts "The Knightsilvers were designed with six cones and rods, others with nine. They were seeing things. Things nobody wanted them to see; things that weren't supposed to be there." - DR. CORNELL "If you are waiting for God to show up and save you, you're in for an imperial let down. God may love, but he does so from a very discreet distance. It saves on commitment." - McCLELLAN |
