Um, this sounds like a perfectly enjoyable opening scene.

OPENING SCENE

EXT: Day(?), above a port. The sky is the color of a television, tuned to a dead channel

(I picture that either as a sort of uniform gray, or actually pixellated static. Just lighten up the sky in the opening scene of Blade Runner)

The main reason I don't want to see it is I can already "see" the whole movie in my head (because I scripted it when I read the book as a kid) and I know they're going to get all the details wrong.
