SONG: “Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money)” by Pet Shop Boys

“If you've got the inclination/ I have got the crime/ Oh, there's a lot of opportunities/ If you know when to take them/ You know, there's a lot of opportunities/ If there aren't, you can make them”

SUMMARY: NEW YORK CITY, 1899 - Ezekiel Smith (Lucas Jade Zumann) has not had an easy life. After growing up in an orphanage and bouncing from one dangerous factory job to another for his entire childhood, at 18 he’s finally found some stability working as an errand boy and assistant for an aging, eccentric watchmaker in a shop on the Lower East Side. Before he can get too comfortable in his new life, though, his employer is found dead in his ransacked workshop.

Prior experience tells Zeke to get as far away from this situation as possible before he gets the blame—or worse, gets himself killed—but there’s something else entirely telling him he’s got to avenge his boss’s murder. Trying to investigate on his own quickly goes wrong, however, and he’s lucky that a mysterious bystander (Sebastian Stan) helps pull him out of harm’s way at the last second before a bomb goes off. The man introduces himself only as The Sentinel, a member of a secret organization that protects the world from threats that most people can hardly imagine, let alone believe. Zeke’s erstwhile employer was a consultant for The Organization, helping to investigate a series of bombings using incredibly advanced incendiary devices which are currently baffling the authorities. Whether he likes it or not, Zeke is now at the center of The Organization’s case, leaving him little choice but to lend a hand to the man who saved his life and his enigmatic colleagues—The Steward (James Hong), who keeps an eye on all of The Organization’s strange cases and secret agents across New York City, and The Guardian (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a mysterious figure who seems to be pulling the strings at The Organization (when she isn’t waxing poetic about how much she misses Baroque music and something called...disco?). The closer Zeke and the Sentinel get to discovering who is behind these attacks, the more danger everyone at The Organization is in and, for the first time in a very long time, the more determined Zeke is to protect the closest thing he’s ever had to a purpose—or, for that matter, a family.

#[dom toretto voice] FAMILY #don’t ask me how I got from this song to this premise I have no idea #the song gives me vague cyberpunk vibes I guess that’s it #can something be both cyberpunk and steampunk? because I would like this fake movie to thread that needle somehow #ANYWAY I hope this lives up to the vibes you felt with this cast phil #I’ll admit that I had to look Lucas up and then I was like ‘oh. it’s him. the curliest boy in the world!!’ and it was very exciting #the curliest boy in the world is TWENTY YEARS OLD #I feel like the crypt keeper #is it obvious that Gugu’s character is an immortal being that everyone is in love with?? #because she’s an immortal being who everyone is in love with (including me) #also this feels very derivative of Natasha Pulley but in my defense.....I can do what I want #dropping these after midnight like the social media expert that I am YEET #my writing #made up movies meme! #philtstone #I love this cast btw!! excellent vibes my liege!!! #was wondering if anyone was going to call me out by throwing me a cast list with sebstan and HERE WE ARE #I got exactly what I deserved
