WildGravity: ??? Its time? And what sort of time is that? Where do you categorize timeless themes?

grasstains: I thought Citizen Kane was. TREMORS must be for its time as well, eh?

Nard, thanks for the heads-up on the words from Mr. B himself; Re: the studio screwing things up on 451 & MC. Beaucracies and Follyhood, sinonamous! He really sounded quite hurt by the circumstances. Maybe a time has arrived to spark some desks in LA!

Mr. Bradbury really should have some advocates for fueling the projects. Might that be we!?

(I could not open the link due to filters at work but viewed it here at home. Thanks again!)

That's what I say! Let's pool our funds and option D Wine and I'll write the screenplay.

I'll be talking to him about it in a week or so when I'm done with the screenplay fragment. I can ask.

Frank Darabont, who scripted the now rejected Fahrenheit 451, scripted Indiana Jones #4, which seems to be on its way to filming, especially from news of this most recent item. But did Darabont flourish the pen on the final accepted script?
