Myself and my friend Holly, a local independent filmmaker, are going to be holding a videoconference on June 4 with a film production company's board of directors.
We'll be pitching my book, THE REDEMPTION OF PONTIUS PILATE, as the basis for a major motion picture.
Details as events warrant.
:teddyr:
Hope it goes well & that the movie's good!
Excellent news Indy. I hope it all goes well.
Wouldn't that be cool? Fantastic!
(Will it be gory? :wink:)
Good luck! I'd like an extra role if you do make it. My IMDB profile's a little thin.
Don't forget Indy, there isn't a film out there that can't be improved by the addition of a giant shark.

If you read the book, you'd know the answer to that! :wink: :wink: :wink:
Whatever you do, try to add a Badmovies reference in there somewhere. :cheers:

My novel MATTHEW'S AUTOGRAPH actually has a brief homage to ZOMBIE HAMLET in it.

The conference was supposed to be 45 minutes. We overran that by a half hour or so.
Holly and I knocked their socks off! The journey of a thousand miles is now about three steps in.
Four, actually - I wrote 8 pages of screenplay this evening!

Cool! I hope it gets further than a screenplay...
Best if luck to you Indy. If Hollywood won'tf bite there's Netflix...
go indy go! :hot: :thumbup: :cheers:
if you want to see a book of yours made into a movie, indy, and given your passion for history I'd recommend writing a book about the CSS Albemarle, the "Bismark of the civil war".
The story of the CSS albemarle is as interesting as the story of the monitor and the virginia, and more so than the story of the bismark.
The Albemarle was built in a cornfield with confiscated iron like frying pans, horseshoes, nails, even slave chains. She became such a menace to the union on the riverways that Lincoln himself ordered her destruction. (The Bismark of the civil war) For a brief time she was powered by bacon fat when her smokestack was shot off and the coal woulnd't burn with fresh air. She could not be beaten in over combat with union forces so a commando raid was pulled off with a specially deigned weapon that was nearly suicidal to use.
The story of the Albemarle would make for an excellent movie with action, combat, intrigue, tension and all of it historically accurate. Plus it has guy with confederate flags getting their asses kicked.

There's more than the wiki article and i'm sure you know how to do research.
Good luck to ya'.
I look forward to seeing this movie some day.
And if you need a not-particularly attractive over weight middle ages man with no acting experience and or real talent, I do work cheap.
