3001? A sequel of your own? More sci-fi?  We'll all just sit and watch this
one a few more times while you decide...

Actually, I've already decided on my next project, although it could be a while
before it's done (script is finished, though). The working title is "Good Will
Skeleton". It's about a skeleton with a hidden talent who doesn't want to do
what skeletons usually do (which, as everyone knows, it to hang around
graveyards scaring people). Not as epic as 2001, certainly, but I've always
thought Lego skeletons were really cute and I wanted to a horror comedy with
them. I'll post updates on my movie page when events warrant.

Actually, how about Jaws?  You could probably re-script it to a short film
without any dialogue.  Being such a classic, everyone knows the story
anyway.  Although there are Lego sharks, they're not very big.  But, you
could fabricate one (or several), and take layers of bricks away to lower it
below a blue plate surface...  A few boats, a police car, a beach, some
houses and a jetty are all the sets you'd need.  The only tricky bit would
be a crowd of minifigs running for the beach.

How about it? I'm too bone idle and untalented to try it myself.

Sounds like some good ideas, maybe you should give it a shot! :) (I have next
to no town stuff)

Did you submit that one to any film festivals, by the way?

I honestly never considered this, mainly because you kind of have to know Lego
and have seen "2001: A Space Odyssey" to "get" my movie. Do you (and others)
really think it might appeal to a wider audience?

(...) Oh right! I see it now. I don't recall those shots in the trippy bit, but it's been a while since I watched the movie. And I never realised quite how old it was - 1968! So what's next? 2010?
