Not 'snakes on a plane', but a similar set up, only the mosquitos are
naturally of the clandestine military type, infected with a cocktail of
various nasties like The Ziko virus.
They were intended to be transported for subsequent secret
biological warfare release in an area currently dominated
by 'you can
guess', but of course a spot of turbulence, and a sloppy lock-down of
the supposedly secure Trump Industry containers (made cheaply to
save money), and out come the voracious mosquitos within the big
Airbus A380.
Our story evolves, as the only way to detect the presence of the
individual flying toxic demons of death is to fly in silence with the
lights all off, to listen for their incessant buzzing. There are of
course many obstacles to frustrate and aggravatingly thwart this mad
initial plan - like: the crying child who just won't be quieted; the
passenger who refuses to turn off her hissing headphones; the
ranting born again fanatic who insits everything is the devil's work.
(it really, really is you know)
Of course the plane cannot open its doors on eventual landing for
fear that even one of the terrifying micro beasties will escape
undetected, nor can any of the passengers be allowed to depart to
spread disease and tell their tale. The situation is really dire. All
seems lost and totally impossible to resolve.
Naturally I cannot reveal any more detail here, especially the 'real'
ending, when my Hollywood pitch is so close, but let's just say that a
batch of flaky croissants, smelly fish bones and custard guzzling
hamsters are vital components in the story.

Civil aircraft carry a stock of pressurised "fogger" aerosol cans, loaded with a delicious cocktail of extremely powerful and toxic insecticides, for use when departing locations where mosquitoes and their like may try to stow away. It's vicious stuff, but very effective. |
|
| |
Your plot device will need to account for this - leaky cans, resistant insects, whatever. |

So now they've invented something called Ziko virus? |
|
| |
Yes.... Zika was child's play compared to Ziko. |
|
| |
Perhaps they just decided to avoid the iterations of the disease, Zika II, Zika - The New Beginning and go straight to Ziko. |
|
| |
The "Mrs. Cornelius" virus doesn't sound that bad. |
|
| |
//doesn't sound that bad. |
|
| |
It's all in the marketing.. |
|
| |
Thinking about it...wouldn't a teeny gatling gun firing ice pellets be a good way of killing mosquitoes...<cuts to that bit in Predator>... |
|
| |
Ducks eat mosquitoes so the best strategy, when the
mosquitoes escape from their escape-proof container,
is to release the consignment of live ducks in the
cargo hold. This approach (successively releasing
higher predators) gives you a good strategy for
writing film sequels - e.g. "Mosquitoes on a plane"
-> "Ducks on a plane" -> "Foxes on a plane" -> etc... |
|
| |
//successively releasing higher predators// Now
_that_ is the kind of thinking that leads to
blockbuster movie franchises. I'm seeing "There Was
an Old Woman IV" hitting screens internationally. I'm
seeing Woody Allen as the fly, maybe Meryl Streep as
the old woman... |

Ah - The Hippo has cracked it (though in deference to the
HB, we need to include fish and hamsters in the food chain) |

And when winter comes, the gorillas freeze to death. |

[xenzag] Thanks, although it should be noted that any
extension of the "X -> X+1 on a plane"
sequel-generating algorithm invariably ends up at a
sort of Jurassic
Park crossover "Velociraptors on a plane" end-point. |

Rattlesnake: Hillary Clinton |

Mosquitoes don't bite me anymore. They go for the sweeter,
more masculine blood of my husband. I've grown bitter in my
old age, I guess. Not that I miss them, per se, but I feel bad
for my honey when we go somewhere because he gets
double bit. Taking one for the team, I guess. |
|
| |
And the ending of this film makes me almost hysterical with
anxiety because I get claustrophobic on airplanes sitting still.
I'd probably go for Streep's throat or something. |
|
| |
Not to be confused with the Groucho and Harpo viruses. |
|

Epicycles, epi mosquitoes, epi passengers -
effreybody is ferrrrrry epi. |
|

Not really. Have you heard the cost of those lately? |
