War of the Worlds where humans are the bad guys?

Sure.

Thought about it and came to the conclusion that it is a good concept, but you should change the woman's duty from protecting them to having to turn them in, and she defies the order.

Gives it much more dramatic and character opportunities and themes to explore.

Nope, I'm definitely not for that. The main character would be the woman who falls in love with the man, and that despite her great amount of bitterness for him and the situation, she still loves him and grows to love his children (who are from 6-11 at this time). As of my first impression, the former lover will be captured at one point while the parents and kids make their escape. She's given a way out by telling the antagonist where they went, but she doesn't. At that point she's either killed or paralyzed. As of now, I'm completely against a complete betrayal. She's protecting her love and what could and should have been hers at one point, but couldn't come to pass. It seems like it could be an incredibly powerful film.

i actually just finished a tv pilot screenplay. its a little over 31 pages.

i call it a cross between "Its Always Sunny" and "the Office." It revolves around a chain-type grocery store in New Orleans. The show centers on the daily hassels of the managers and the outlandish problems they must deal with in regards to customers, employees, products, etc.
