JAMES BOND 2K6
Okay, pop quiz: a show of hands of all those who have read every James Bond novel written by Ian Fleming.
If you’re not frantically raising your hand right now, and without boning up on your reading, just for fun and giggles how about adapting four “adventures” of Agent 007 which haven’t yet made it onto the silver screen. |

| Title:DIE HARD REBOOTED |
Date: 02.22.2006 |
The long-in-development fourth installment of “Die Hard” based upon the exploits of New York lone-cop John McClane is now no longer a sure thing for 20th Century Fox. Actor Bruce Willis’ enthusiasm for the project has gone from a boil to a simmer. Apparently the screenwriters exceeded everyone’s expectations, including those of FEMA and Homeland Security. |

| Title:PARADOX
IN A BOX |
Date:
03.19.2003 |
 The
75th Annual Academy Awards is a milestone—a diamond
jubilee for the motion picture industry and a collusion of
business, money, media, politics and celebrity. Still, after
three-quarters of a century, isn’t there anything, anything
at all that can be done about the Oscars?
This, remember, is that august body that never gave Alfred
Hitchcock a trophy for Best Director. Here’s a groundbreaking
idea….

Twilight of the Gods |
Date:
01.20.2003 |
 Some
fifty years ago when the 1950’s weren’t “The
Fifties” yet, bodybuilders and pinup girls stirred the
loins of the American imagination. In five decades has our
culture lost some of its majesty? For what represents a civilization
more profoundly than its icons?
Maybe it’s the essence of nostalgia, like spinning golden
oldies when old stars shine just as bright through scrapbook
memories, the glimmering gossamer of times gone by tinged
with small hints of romantic melancholy.

“A DOT-COM BEFORE THE STORM” |

 The
crew building a sawmill on a river near Sacramento had found
a few tiny gold nuggets on the ground. Soon after, a half
million people from around the world descended upon California
in search of instant wealth. The year was 1849 and the Gold
Rush was on.

DIE ANOTHER DAY
|
Date:

 Look
up. Look down. Look out! James Bond is back, in front and
all around. It’s time to save the world again in “Die
Another Day.”
As the soundtrack pipes up, the world’s best known secret,
Agent 007, leaps into action not only to mark the 20th flick
in his long, illustrious film career but also to celebrate
his 40th anniversary in the movies. Someday his face will
go on British currency, but in the meantime welcome to the
21st Century, Mr. Bond. |

RED DRAGON |
Date:
09.30.2002 |
 If
you haven’t seen Red Dragon yet, well…the truth
is you have. The film is what really should remain The Silence
of the Lambs. But then why take a chance on a fresh idea?
The movie features a troubled FBI agent pursuing a serial
killer after soliciting aid from Hannibal Lecter, the psychotic
psychiatrist who happens to be a horrific cannibal. In other
words, it does not take a vivid imagination to hash over old
themes, envisioning the same scenario used in Lambs…or
is it vice a versa? |

THE NEXT SEINFELD |
Date:
06.17.2002 |
 To
return "Seinfeld" to the network schedule is perhaps
one way to blow fresh air into that vacuum the sitcom left.
However, Jerry Seinfeld himself has gone on record: He's not
interested in reviving the show. Any wonder why many fans
wonder…"Seinfeld" without Jerry Seinfeld-why
not?
The TV sitcom wonderfully showcases through the verisimilitude
of New York life the intertwining fate of overlapping lives.
You have so many wonderfully quirky, quaint and endearing
characters to choose from... |

| Title:SPIDER-MAN |
Date:
01.29.2002 |
 Spider-Man,
that orb-weaving superhero drops down from on high upon an
unbreakable web of protein. Then, as if uncommitted to gravity,
he zooms away from it all while surgically shooting spider
silk five times stronger by weight than steel. With remarkable
toughness and elasticity it goes ballistic in threading a
dragline across New York City to trap a helicopter between
the twin towers of the World Trade Center…. |

AMERICANZEITGEIST |
Date:
10.27.2001 |
 Shortly
after President George W. Bush of the United States told the
American people to return to their "normal" way
of life-a life that had suddenly grown into something extraordinary-a
biological assault upon the U.S. Congress shuttered a complex
of buildings in the nation's capital. Mr. President, welcome
to NORMAL.
A powdery yet invisible bacterium brought its will against
the Congress to win the day, as this shadowy terrorist drone
sent politicians fleeing Capitol Hill away from the nation's
business. |

CONDOLENCES AND THE DOGS OF WAR |
Date:
09.20.2001 |
 On
September 10, 2001 in the land-locked northern province of
Takhar, Ahmed Shah Masood, an important commander in the anti-Taliban
alliance in Afghanistan was wounded in a suicidal bomb attack.
The following day on September 11th suicide bombers attacked
the U.S. Pentagon and destroyed the World Trade Center in
New York. Coincidence? On September 12th Masood became an
obituary, and the most important leader of the Afghan resistance
in opposition to the Taliban vanished into history. On September
13th the Taliban government invoked an entreaty for restraint
by the United States government, appealing on behalf of its
suffering people. |

 "It's
only a movie, it's only a…uh, re-imagining." Beginning
with that famed premise when an American astronaut crash
lands on a world turned on its ear, the year is 2029. And
somewhere in our solar system a planet ruled by apes ...
