A Certain Death

 

a screenplay by Alan Black

A Certain Death plays with ideas of the extrasensory.

The lead is killed in the opening pages of the script—but seemingly fails to die completely.

It’s a drama that plays off a theme not unlike that in Groundhog Day

but goes further into the existential (veering into Memento territory),

as well as exploring the possible sources of déjà vu and intuition.

The lead, trapped within the continuous circle of a single day,

must find a way to influence events in a manner that will release not only him

but also his suffering wife, who is reliving his death over and over.
