Ashtanga 0 #1 March 1, 2006 I have this new book idea. Do you think it will sell? I think they should make a movie out of it after I write and distribute it. Idea -While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. Solving the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci - clues visible for all to see, and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter. Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion - an actual secret society. In a breathless race through Paris, London and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who appears to work for Opus Dei - a clandestine, Vatican-sanctioned Catholic organization believed to have long plotted to seize the Priory's secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's secret - and a stunning historical truth - will be lost forever. What are your book and/or movie ideas?

I think he's still making apperances at Happy Days conventions with Donny Most, Erin Moran and Anson Williams. I'm not too worried about him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jlkskycam 0 #13 March 2, 2006 Quote I have this new book idea. Do you think it will sell? I think they should make a movie out of it after I write and distribute it. Love to adapt Alred Bester's, "The Star's My Destination." It's kind of a "Man in the Iron Mask" revenge story. Loose synopsis: Underachieving sole survivor onboard derlict spaceship spends six months adrift and barely surviving halfway between Mars and the Belt. A ship comes by, he signals it, it slows, looks him over, and then, inexplicably passes him by. This pushes him over the edge. He "rescues" himself and seeks revenge. Against the back-drop of an intra-solar war in the 25th century he learns amazing and terrible things about himself, a woman he loves, and how he came to be passed by in the first place. There's a lot more to it than that so if you're a hard-scifi geek, it's totally recommended. It would make a pretty cool movie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
