New readers might not know the plot of Black Mass, the latest script I wrote for the Polonia Brothers, so I might mention that it's basically a World War II-era feature about a group of soldiers sent to blow up a Nazi tank factory, only to stumble across an evil entity released by the Nazi's occult tampering. And then yesterday I find this, in the Hollywood Reporter:
Matt LeBlanc will make a return to the big-screen in the sci-fi thriller The Watch. Based on a original screenplay by John Claflin and Daniel Zelman, the World War II-set film revolves around a team of highly specialized soldiers sent to blow up a Nazi fuel depot, only to discover they are being hunted by an evil spirit unleashed by the Nazi's secret occult experiments. Matt will also produce.
I guess it's time to start wearing that tinfoil hat again.

I saw that same article and now have come to the realization that Hollywood has run out of ideas and are now ripping off the indie guys. I wonder if there is any chance that the Polonias can sue?
ReplyDeleteIsn't that amazing?
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you how many times that has happened to me. In high school my friends and I wrote a story called Lonely Time which was a LOT like Terminator. Later, I wrote a seven part movie serial called The Demon Files right before The X Files came out. Those are just a few examples, but it happens to me quite a bit.
The only solace I've been able to gather from such experiences is the knowledge that I'm somehow connected to the cosmic creative thread.
Don't worry about the other movie though... I mean it has Matt LeBlanc in it... I doubt it will be taken seriously.
It's just one of those sour coincidences. But we'll be first to market!
