It's go...You're right, this is a fascinating story. It's got justice, injustice, suspense and more than one twist to keep viewers intrigued.<br /><br />Could we get Johnny Depp to play the flawed and tragic Ernesto? The screen play adaptation should let him have "second thoughts" about the rape rather than having trouble getting it up. Pitch it that way to Depp's agent (we'll rescripted it later if need be [wink!]).<br /><br />But I think the story needs a hero or at least a "good guy" who can out last both Ernesto Miranda and his murderer, someone who can let the viewers see the story through his eyes, someone who can see the tragedy and the jungle justice play out so that "good" triumphs.<br /><br />A PI might work but it's gonna be hard to develop the emotional connection from that perspective. (Sorry, Paul.)<br /><br />But what about family? Did Miranda have a brother? His viewpoint (as a law-abiding citizen with a slightly bad, morally flawed sibling) would let "good" win out in the end as the brother sees evil doing itself in while (his) goodness survives.<br /><br />Emilio Estavez would be a good pick for this key role. His compassionate face is just what the part needs.<br /><br />For these essential contributions to making this into a record-setting blockbuster, I'll expect some compensation, of course, but only insomuch as I've supplied one small but essential, and therefore valuable, element.<br /><br />Let's do lunch!Ed Skinnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09332424242231481277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-81884635745373666602009-11-04T07:51:23.322-08:002009-11-04T07:51:23.322-08:00Pretty fascinating.
