I'm stuck on an idea.
In the original Time Machine movie, they use a siren to connect the future to the past. Explaining that in 1966 when you heard the air raid siren, you would go under ground to escape the bombs. When the bombing stopped it was "all clear." The Morlocks in the movie used that air raid sound to lure the Eloi under ground so they could eat them. When the doors to the sphinx closed, it was all clear.
My sequel is of the book, where the air raid thing never happens. In my sequel I'm making the same connection with a different sound. When George arrives in Manhattan to rescue his daughter he encounters a young lady in Time Square, during a New Years celebration, he mistakes for his daughter. She points out to him how people blindly follow the music from a stage set up in Time Square, that has a holographic band being broadcast from England , live.
When the Morlock come back, in the future, from George's failure to rescue his Time Machine prototype, they play a holographic image and sound in the base of the sphinx, of Led Zeppelin playing Kashmire, to lure the Elio down into the sphinx.
Your thoughts.

I don't think you need the holographic image at all, since the Eloi wouldn't see it itll they were already there at the base of the Sphinx.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Why Kashmir? Wouldn't you want a more soothing sound to bring them in?
I'm leaning more toward four sticks by Zeppelin.
ReplyDeleteIt has a more tribal beat. Which fits the new explanation for the Morlock.
Thanks for commenting.
