"The Lonely Skier": You have been cast in it!

I want to know one thing Trevor. Does Eduardo die in some horrific and grotesque fashion. I can just imagine my last utterance, "Mama Mia, at last I'ma come-a to see you!"

You know this is one of the coolest things we've had going on for a while.

Sorry, Derf: you are the other soldier.

QuoteI want to know one thing Trevor. Does Eduardo die in some horrific and grotesque fashion. I can just imagine my last utterance, "Mama Mia, at last I'ma come-a to see you!"

In the book, all he does is look very, very PO'd at the fact that his bid on the chalet at the auction has been beaten by Valdini (Dr Menard) and then later, it is Valdini's turn to be very PO'd when his bid is outbid by an unknown bidder. All Eduardo does then is stalk off in a huff and you never see him until the chalet goes kablooiey at the end of the book.

I will have him say, as an Englishman hating Italian: "That stronzo Church-a-hill! He-a come-a to Italy and he s**tta alla ova my beloveda aaarmeeee!"

Karma for that, my friend: thank you.

Trevor, I am all over that vengeful lover thing! *lol*

Plus, I'm good with accents, so Italian is no problem for me.

That's good. One problem though: in the book, Carla and Mayne kill each other, Mayne gets shot and then is fried alive in the chalet after he despatches Carla who dies in the snow.

The worst catch of all is you never find out where the gold is.

Before I finish the script (which should hopefully be soon) does anyone else that I've not included want a part too? It will be my pleasure to include you.

Trevor · December 18, 2015, 08:45:29 AM

Seven years down the line and I STILL haven't finished this damn script.

I missed this back in '08, but uh, all I can say is...I get the part you were planning for Anthony Hopkins? Wow.

Now to read the draft to see if I find the gold....

Hammond Innes couldn't find the gold, his characters couldn't, I couldn't so good luck.

Where's that gold?
