GR (the movie)

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.
