    New Horizons
    Story by Tony Tarantino
    Log Line

    An action-packed adventure film driven by a powerful love story with a scientific twist.

    New Horizons is a story about Jim Terrell, a young man born into wealth and power, who clones his beautiful wife Joey after she is murdered by the Colombian Drug Cartel. Jim single-handedly destroys all who were responsible for Joey's demise then clones himself so the two soul-mates can live on.

    Born to wealth and position, Jim Terrell has a chance encounter with Joline (Joey) Coe at a bachelor party in Las Vegas for his best friend Joe Pellechi. Joey has been the 'possession' of Drug Lord Carlos Vega since he murdered her father when she was fifteen years old. Jim and Joey fall hopelessly in love and Jim takes her to the safety of his Long Island estate to escape from Vega. Later unsure that Joey would be safe in New York, Jim plans an extended voyage at sea hoping that in time Carlos Vega would end his search for Joey. Upon their return, they become husband and wife but Vega's revenge takes Joey's life in a 'set up' car 'accident' right after the ceremony. Uncle Al who raised Jim after the death of his parents, runs the powerful family-owned pharmaceutical and medical research business that has been successful cloning animals. He sends a Special Medical Team to the hospital and when Joey is pronounced dead they take tissue samples from her body. Jim then seeks training by Israeli Special Forces and in an insane rage, hunts down Carlos Vega in a blood bath never before seen in Miami and destroys Vega and his organization. Two years after a self-imposed exile Jim returns with an Infant Boy. Within two years Jim joins his friend Joe Pellechi and his Wife at the hospital, where they have lost their third stillborn child, and presents them with a special gift a baby girl. Twenty-five years later Jim's 'Son' and his Bride take their wedding vows. As the Bride and Groom face each other and the Bride's veil is lifted… the identical faces of Jim Terrell and Joline Coe are seen in a surprise ending.

    Tony also has a Sci-Fi on storyboard - untitled.
