Still not sure about the name...................
In a world where there are roughly 20,000 ultra rich people, and the rest are all "base class".........referred to as "Barnies", short for barnacles, a slang term used by the rich, otherwise known as "Ownies"
Artificial intelligence joined by seamless wireless networking and communications and advanced robotics have made a world with very little need for human workers, so a complex universal standard of living is in place for those born legally where they are provided a basic level of support by the government which allows them just the fundamental necessities to stay alive and be generally healthy........(but if you get something like brain cancer, or anything really serious......... you're dead.......unless you're an Ownie of course).
Actually supporting the people is relatively easy with all of the highly advanced systems that are present in every aspect of life. People who have actual jobs, typically just direct servants, consultants, and analysts for the Ownies (so they don't have to actually touch the machines and devices themselves), are paid extremely well relative to Barnies. The rest of the people focus on creative and imaginative tasks, and certain things that the machines actually can't do, and sometimes people can stand out for being exceptional in various ways.
OK, the focus of this movie would be that...........There is a lottery every year that randomly selects one of the Ownies and strips them of their entire wealth and assets and basically turns them into a Barnie over night.........in order to pay for the government to work, this is an extremely flawed system, so it is considered by everyone to be just a temporary solution for what was the result of an extremely rapid advancement of technology. As one can imagine, lottery time can be a pretty nerve racking time for the Ownies, but with the odds of 1 out of roughly 20,000, many of the them don't even pay attention to it, electing to simply ignore it and just hope it doesn't happen to them. For the ones that do get stripped, there is HUGE drama. Some having taken previous steps to deal with this situation should it ever happen to them, there can be extreme complications that arise from these dynamics.
still putting some thought into this one, maybe more to come.........who knows
it seemed like a cool plot when I was thinking about it, but now that I put it in words i'm not so sure...........i will have to noodle over it
