Jessica Buchanan hostage rescue

I know there has already been a film featuring Somali bad guys and Seals, but the rescue of Jessica Buchanan would make an excellent movie.

In the spirit of the huge success of Bridgerton, Julie Garwood, Jude Devereaux, and Rebecca Paisley have a gold mine’s worth of material.

I’d love to see some exploration of Anglo-Saxon and Welsh history (some absolutely amazing stories there that almost no one has heard of).


If they’d actually stick to the stories and not try to insert woke BS, the original Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms novels could provide years worth of material, but fans will expect an authentic rendition.

Non-fiction books

1) Dan Mills' Sniper One.  It's like Zulu where an isolated British battalion fights off hordes of jihandis.  Not so much sniping but desperate fighting.
2) Max Gendleman's A Tale of Two Soldiers.  A Jewish GI captured at the Battle of the Bulge is befriended by a recovering Luftwaffe pilot.  The two becomes friends and conspired to escape the war.  Decades later they reunite in America where their friendship is rekindled (so the ending may be used as the begining like in SPR).
3) Georg Rauch Unlikely Warrior - Viennese Jew (1/4 & is tolerated b/c his father was a lieut. in the old army) is drafted into the German Army where he becomes a radioman (childhood hobby which earned them a Gestapo visit).  He earns the Iron Cross, has several escapes and is finally captured by the Soviets.  He is released early (but is very unhealthy b/c of starvation) b/c he is a Jew and b/c of his Austrian nationality.

Down Terrorscope

Horror/thriller movie

5 People, 2 operators, 3 tourists, on a tourist mini-sub voyage to see the Titanic...
Catastrophe, they lose propulsion and communications, the emergency surface mechanism doesn't work.

They have enough air for 3 days supporting 5 people (15 people-days of air...)

One operator and 2 passengers gang up and kill off the other two.
The remaining three people could last 5 days.
All three are afraid to fall asleep because they think the first one to fall asleep will be killed by the other two.
Finally one does, and they do.
And then the last tourist kills the last operator...

The last person sitting alone in the near dark, cold, closet-sized box on the bottom of the ocean with 4 dead bodies.

The twist ending...
The lone survivor is rescued at the three-day mark.

A guy living in a "fictional" country with a tyrannical government starts engaging in solo acts, destroys power stations, blows up buildings and bridges, conducts assassinations on tier 3 personalities.  All over the country.
He truly acts alone so the government can't find him.
His acts have impacts and other solo actors are inspired to copy the strategy.
Soon multiple lone actors are waging war on the government and they are playing whack a mole but having no effect.
The people see the weakness of the government and organize to eliminate it.
Eventually they topple it.

Heroic liberal Hollywood male writers get accused of becoming conservative so have to prove they are liberals by shooting up conservative venues.  Semi liberal police investigators start to close in on liberal writer shooters but realize that the liberal writers are heros and thus fail to prosecute thus relieving their same sex partners so much that they get pregnant and they give birth to butthole babies.

I'll start:

Guys in a car wreck and goes into a medically induced coma, wakes up and falls in love with the nurse taking care of him.

Gets married has kids, and eventually he reaches a point at his youngest daughter's wedding where he just feels supremely content and satisfied.

He then ACTUALLY wakes up from his coma and the nurse simply doesn't recognize him.

His life, his accomplishments and worst of all his children never existed.

The 2nd half of the movie is him coming to terms with it.

I’ve been mulling around the idea of a story with aspects of Starship Troopers, WH40K, multiverse theory, Deathworlders, and a touch of lovecraftian horror.

The plot involves several alien galactic factions getting their collective faces bitten off by incomprehensible reality-devouring horrors known only as “the bugs.” So, one of these alien factions decides they’ve reached the godzilla threshold, and begins searching for something scarier.

They stumble upon humanity, and shudder at the thought of unleashing such violent, contradictory creatures upon the galaxy…

But when facing the threat of extinction, any alternative is preferable. And mankind has both a natural, instinctive inclination to warfare, as well as a capacity for violence that no other sentient species possessed. They were the perfect soldiers. No… not soldiers.

Warriors.

First book would follow the man they selected as the perfect representation of humanity, building their army, and being the first to reclaim a world taken by the bugs. This comes at a heavy cost, and forever changes the man that had been chosen to lead his brothers and sisters. He would not lead his people to slaughter just for the sake of some uncaring alien bastards.

Humanity will not be their sacrificial dogs of war. They will become conquerors.

An old friend and I came up with a plot for a Star Wars movie about a Jedi (we cast Daniel Dae Kim) sent to murder a Sith Lord (we cast Keanu Reeves) who’s dark side power was extreme apathy. He didn’t care what happened to the rest of the galaxy, he didn’t care if he lived or died, he just wanted to sit alone on a planet and study the dark side. The Jedi ended up being shown the hole in the cosmic donut and realizing that he didn’t matter either, but the Sith didn’t care enough to teach him anything, and they just kinda moped along together.

We also discussed a TV plot about humanity building a one way portal to an alien planet. Settlers go through along with supplies, but soon the supplies stop coming and technology basically devolves to the Wild West era. The characters would experience Wild West problems while attempting to build a portal back to earth.

I’m currently (very slowly) working on writing a loosely connected anthology of stories about Americans in a big city who decide to fight back when the city government abandons them to anarchists and mobs like happened across America during the 2020 Summer Of Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests.
