Straight up my dear Cass,why would I give you dates for filming, they have made only parts of it as the climax purports to be at Roslin which was not available and of course they were not allowed to build a full scale mock up of the chapel.for obvious reasons.The chapel has a large canopy over it but this will be "airbrushed out" by these computer thingys. the cost of renting the chapel for 8 days is £70,000. So, when did you see this movie?
as for drinking my health (same as went Harry met Sally
I'll have what she's having!!!!
cheers
Iain. (no autographs please)

Are you in a time warp or am I?. They have already made the Da Vinci Code derrrr, are you having a flashback? Are you producing it or something? Well its possible because it is in your imagination, and guess what you can imagine all those people wantin your autograph.
Dream on dreamer
I'll drink to your health too
Cheers

As maybe casting director, I would like to employ as my assistant, Chuck
the Heretic, I believe he will add balance to the project, the other
perspective! Mauri you can only speculate until you come up with a story
line, and then when we are all dead, we can go into production.

Production note:
Ok... That's good for starters. So, we'll consider Iain, possibly, as
comedy director (HPB was funny, wasn't she?) -- Cass, maybe, as casting
director -- and Mauri, speculatively, as story director. Now let's see them all come
up
with some useful ideas that coordinate with each other. LM

To: Iain, Cass and Mauri,
I wasn't joking. I was just poking and maybe pulling your legs a bit to
see
if there were any real filmmakers among us. But, if you want to keep on
that
way, that's Ok, too. BTW, since this is an American picture, we don't
use "aeroplanes." Besides, airplanes and Empire State type buildings
weren't
invented yet.

I have already given the role of Krishnamurti to Sean Penn!!!

Cass

But seriously, I think it is a great idea, not yours, Leon's.

Arnie Scwartzeniger for K.H. Sly Stalone as M. Jodie Foster for AB, Md

Columb..Maddonna. Mr Columb Sean Penn. Cant wait that lenth of time for

M

Jackson to play CWL any suggestions for a replacement? We need to find

some

cheap tigers/lions for the fight scenes any contacts with zoos Etc

anything

thats half alive will do. Is Clarence that cross eyed lion still on the

go

I

liked that one when he was in Daktari in the 1960's. we also need an

iceberg, the one from TITANIC should do that went down well!! Can we
get

Shrek in for a couple of shots, keeps the kids interested.Need to do

more

work of the heavy bed scenes, Need to get the custume people to get

acurate

designs, can we get nylon flannels?Product Sponsors need their stuff

promoted in the film, we need to find a way to get the Acme Digital

Alarm

Clocks in full view, also Gucci Computers ,We also need the Busby

Berkley

Girls for the dance sequence, we can pass that off as a dream sequence.

of

course every thing is done IN THE BEST POSSIBLE TASTE!!!! Bring on the

empty

horses.

Me too. So far have a tentative first

chapter for a novel that opens on a

mountain in Tibet. I've been thinking

in terms of creating dramatic

adventure/jsuspense fiction (with

visuals for a possible movie version)

interspersed with sprinklings of

historical fact. I figure that with

characters (out of real life, no less!)

like HPB, Masters, Olcott, Sinnet,

Coulombs, etc, how could such a book or

movie fail to be a blockbuster???



Speculatively,

Mauri

We've been working on it since 1975, and Bates would be a good

movie for theatrical release, or even a stage play suitable for

Broadway.

As

for who would play Judge, Olcott, Besant Leadbeater, KH, M, etc. --

that's

all up for grabs depending on the story (and the budget) -- which

could

be

limited to any portion of HPB's adventurous life or a full epic

biographical

approach. Problem is maintaining an underlying pure theosophical

philosophical

basis that would "entertain," "teach" subliminally or metaphorically,

and

awaken

interest in theosophy -- without an obvious New Age "message" that

would

trigger a religious or political backlash. For our professional

interest, a

suitable picture would have to have the same character and big screen

impact as Star

Wars, the Matrix, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Master and

Commander,

etc.

-- so as to attract the largest audience possible. All ideas from

story-line

and development to preproduction financing welcome.
