After reading through this thread, I am convinced of one thing only... it has all the right ingredients for a juicy (read scandalous) Hollywood blockbuster. The first scriptwriter to commit this thread into a speculation script potentially stands to make some serious bank.
Well I just happen to be a screenwriter and the author of the article. So I suppose that means I have to be the one to write it.
Anyone feel like being my agent? I'll give you a whopping 50% commission to sell the thing.
