Prompt: Re-adapt the film Don’t Look Up so that the visible sky phenomenon is “the Moon is already split in two” (as in Quran) instead of the approaching comet.

To re-adapt the film Don’t Look Up with the phenomenon of the Moon already split in two, several key changes need to be made to the plot and characters. Here is a rough outline of the adapted storyline:

Act 1: Discovery

1. Astronomical Anomaly:
   • Dr. Randall Mindy and Ph.D. candidate Kate Dibiasky discover that the Moon has split into two distinct halves. They observe this through a powerful telescope and confirm it with other observatories.
2. Confirmation and Panic:
   • They notify Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe, who corroborates their findings. The news spreads quickly through scientific communities and then leaks to the public, causing widespread panic.
3. Government Response:
   • The White House, led by President Janie Orlean, initially dismisses the claims but later convenes a meeting with top scientists and military advisors to assess the situation. The President’s son, Jason Orlean, is also present, emphasizing the administration’s often frivolous attitude.

Act 2: Public Reaction and Media Frenzy

1. Media Coverage:
   • Kate and Randall appear on a popular morning talk show to explain the gravity of the situation, but their warnings are downplayed and turned into a viral meme. The show hosts make light of the situation, furthering the public’s skepticism.
2. Social Media and Divisions:
   • Social media is abuzz with conspiracy theories and denials. Some believe it’s a hoax, while others see it as a divine sign or an apocalyptic event.
3. Scientific Debate:
   • Scientists worldwide debate the causes and implications of the Moon splitting. Some suggest it’s a natural phenomenon, while others theorize it could be due to external forces or even alien interference.

Act 3: Consequences and Action

1. Environmental Impact:
   • The split Moon causes significant tidal changes, leading to coastal flooding, increased seismic activity, and extreme weather patterns. The world begins to experience these catastrophic effects.
2. Global Response:
   • Nations scramble to respond. Some prioritize mitigation and disaster response, while others invest in space missions to study the split Moon closer. International cooperation is strained by political agendas and mistrust.
3. Personal Struggles:
   • Kate, Randall, and Teddy navigate personal challenges as they push for global awareness and action. Kate’s frustration grows with the public’s apathy, while Randall grapples with newfound fame and its impact on his family.

Act 4: Climax and Resolution

1. Ultimate Efforts:
   • A global summit is convened to discuss a unified response. Amidst heated debates, a plan is formed to launch a mission to understand and possibly rectify the split Moon.
2. Space Mission:
   • A multinational crew is sent to the Moon to study its new state. They discover alarming evidence of destabilization, confirming that without intervention, the Moon could disintegrate further, leading to even more catastrophic consequences on Earth.
3. Final Revelation:
   • The mission reveals that the Moon’s split was due to an ancient and colossal impact that has now manifested. With this understanding, scientists propose a solution to stabilize the Moon, requiring unprecedented global cooperation and sacrifice.
4. Aftermath:
   • The world begins to take more serious and coordinated actions to deal with the immediate and long-term effects of the split Moon. The film ends on a hopeful yet cautious note, emphasizing the need for unity and scientific integrity in facing global crises.

Key Themes:

• Scientific Responsibility: The importance of listening to and trusting scientific expertise.
• Media Influence: The role of media in shaping public perception and its impact on serious issues.
• Global Unity: The necessity of international cooperation to tackle global problems.
• Environmental Awareness: The interconnectedness of natural phenomena and their impact on human life.

This re-adaptation maintains the core message of Don’t Look Up but shifts the celestial threat from an approaching comet to the already split Moon, providing a unique twist while preserving the film’s satirical and critical tone.
