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 candidate for the lead role -- but have yet to find a suitable script that would make 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.
