GR (the movie)

[Burgess, John]

I think there's something particularly "right" in retreading GR as a 
film!

It wouldn't be a two-hour or 15-hour venture, but something on the order 
of two weeks' worth of sleep deprivation (assuming a certain reticence on 
the part of "them" to drug ingestion in media res).

The imagery would work very well on film; the characters are 
exceptionally real; the sights and sites are photogenic... it would be a 
great film, costing close to a half-billion bux, and completely 
impossible as a business proposition.  Even were all 1/4 million GR gyros 
to buy the $50 tickets, it would never recoup costs, therefore it won't 
be made.  

Still and all, it sure would be fun, foax:  the perfect way to spend your 
retirment.
