The State of California had almost killed what was once a thriving film industry. This is a well needed change and could stimulate new film production and Jobs. A film provides work for a whole army of experts from costumers, set design, to producers and PR men. Hollywood needs to follow its own design and make movies people want to see and not depend upon the box office in China. Hollywood should be about $. I have always thought Trump could be a great film-maker like Howard Hughes.
What films do you think should be made?
Movies that should be made—its all about the story, not special effects:
1. CSS Alabama, The story of the CSA raider and her foxy captain.
2. The story of the Bell Witch—America’s greatest Ghost Story.
3. The Disney Brothers vs the Fleisher Brothers feud. The cartoon battle, Micky Mouse vs Betty Boop.
4. The first to fight. The unknown story of Black Pilots who fought for Ethiopia against Fascist Italy in the war before WW II. An unfair match between old WWI fighters against Mussolini’s best.
5. The story of the siege of Vicksburg in 1863 and the CSS Arkansas ironclad, that almost changed the outcome.
6. Uncle Toms. A story of a 19th Century acting company performing Uncle Tom’s Cabin in the mid-west, changing the story, adding music and dancing to attract customers to the point of giving it a happy ending! With Simon Legree and Uncle Tom becoming friends! (This could be funny and it really happened). I give out these ideas for free.
