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.

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
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.
