Hello there and I’m here with a quick thought for Monday.
What will the Hollywood version of the Chilean miners ordeal be like? I mean, clearly it will be set in America or at least with an all American team sent in to drill them out (probably with Bruce Willis in charge – just a guess), but what else?
How many underground explosions will there be? What will the love interest ladies get up to on the surface? Will they or won’t they be stood waiting when the miners are rescued? When the men are fighting for the last biscuit down below, will the American supervisor be able to control the situation and talk them out of it with an awe inspiring speech that could double up to represent the struggles between all of the world’s races, and how we all need to do more to help the impoverished?
How close will it be to disaster at every turn, will they won’t they, can they can’t they, should they could they?
The story of those guys survival so far, is unbelievable and an amazing account of the strength of character of these people; it does not need ruining by Hollywood to make it a truly awesome film. Get gritty and just show the truth, theatres will be moved to tears and full night after night. As it stands, right now they are suffering this ordeal with greater dignity than I can manage if we run out of coffee at work, and yet they still have months to wait, never knowing for sure how it will all end. This truly is an un paralleled tale of human strength.
It really doesn’t need Kelly Brook in almost emotional shower scenes, although – having said that… Oh Okay then, I’m sure we could squeeze that in if it is essential to the plot, having thought about it!

We can't help it if we feel the need to tweak everything to the point of being absolutely ridiculous. I blame the copious amounts of sugar in our diets, and the Bush administration.
Well in the film there will be a girl trapped with the miners (Dolores who was there doing some safety training). I would not be surprised if Breeze somehow got into the act and saved the miners from a ghastly fate.
Katie - I don't blame Hollywood for being Hollywood, I might as well blame Pizza Hut for the tightness of my trousers.
Badger - Funny you should say that, already half way through writing next weeks episode...
Kelly Brook will be one of the miners. "Based on" a true story. x
This sounds like the the best start to a blockbuster. Make it so. And just because it's not real to begin with, have it set in the UK. See... I'm nice like that.
Also, after doing a well advised Google search... Kelly Brook is a must!
"Based on" - ah yes I forget those crucial words!
Yep Que, trust me, Kelly is most definitely a must (can't act, but no one's perfect!)
I shudder to think. Or do I shutter to think?
