PARKER THE UNTOLD STORY

SERIES BIBLE
"PARKER" is an American T.V. Series adapted from story and spirit from the famou
s Marvel Comic Book Character "Spider-Man a comic book about teenager Peter Parke
r balancing life as a Super-Hero and as a high school prodigy. The story of whic
h is a teenage story of love, heart break, and karma, none of which will be toss
ed in the show s overall process.
Being an adaptation the T.V. Series will have it s differences many pointed to dra
w in new Audiences and satisfy the loyal Marvel Comics Fans.
Our Peter Parker will still be a teenager, and will still work at the Daily Bugl
e and is still a tight wearing avenger of the poor and justice. The show will fo
cus on the more Human characteristics of our main avenger.
Parker s story begins in the pilot and continues beyond the series finale, during
the show at NO POINT will it be an idea to kill Peter off in any type during the
show.
The show s mission is to entertain and explore new areas of the Spider-Man mytholo
gy, being fans of the Sam Raimi Films and having love for the Ultimate Spider-Ma
n Comic Book series the show will stop at nothing to bring the real drama of a h
igh school teenager, and mix it with the fast action paced life of a Super Hero.
The beauty of doing a Series is taking more time to tell a story, more freedom i
n development. Character and story wise the development is a main focus, taking
creative liberties story and character are the main focuses.
We do not want to disrespect any coming source materiel. We ll take any and every
opportunity to exaggerate the comic book side without making corny dumbfounded r
eferences. What is trying to be achieved is a serious Teen-Drama involving our F
riendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. As a teen drama we ll explore his teenage human s
ide which is a key appealing factor in series.
Unlike the normal teen-dramas that are seen on ABC FAMILY and the CW this series
is stern in its attitude, and is despite the Super Hero nature, real. The chara
cters are real people who live in an Extraordinary World. There will be no excus
e for any lack of character, because the main players in this series will reflec
t real people in society and it will show with great pride.
When it s all said and done the mission at the end of the day will as mentioned ea
rlier is entertainment and staying true to our characters. The people LOVE Spide
r-Man an instead of trying to write a film where we ve only have a Couple Hours to
tell an amazing story, we could get three, four hours, full seasons, so that ev
ery piece of story is very strong and full of the character s experience, after al
l With Great Power comes Great Responsibility

RULES AND RESTRICTIONS:
1. Tights and Webs: Spider-Man would not be Spider-Man without those colorful ti
ghts or his trademark webshooters. He could have organic webbing, but nothing ex
cites the audience more than drama of a main character with a good chance of dea
th.
Naturally his tights are a must themselves. Immediately he won t be Spider-Man but
still he will have to don them within the first 10 episodes. We want to please
fans, not be a 10 season cock tease.
2. Symbolism: The series itself has a message. Messages and subtext is something
the viewer loves. It gives the show and episodes meaning. But we do not want to
preach. No subtexts about abortion or religion, That s not our thing.
Our Subtext will be more towards the idea of With Great Power comes Great Respons
ibility plus this is a series with a Super Hero in high school, subtext fits in j
ust as well as penut butter and jelly.
3. Character Representation: OK everyone. We want this to be about Peter so natu
rally our plots are revolving around him. But we can t put characters in situation

ies should be treated with respect and be seen as adult. We re not going to joke a
bout sex in an obvious manner.
The Subtext will be an adult themed. Death is a factor. Death loves Spider-Man s S
upporting cast, let death meet a couple tragedy is Spider-Man s worthless friend.
