You want a REALLY controversial movie??
(I suppose this should be from scrappleface. . .)
Make a movie in which a pregnant woman decides at
the last moment NOT to have an abortion. . .
then show the life of the child who lived (instead of being killed)
Now THAT would be radical.
(But of course it's TOO radical and challenging for Hollywood. . .)
EVERYBODY wants to be a screen writer!
Me too! You could do good stuff with flashbacks in a movie like that!
And, if you had a good script, it could certainly be done on the cheap! Maybe a few special effects, CSI style, of the child pre-born.
Yes, I'm liking it. Will get back to you as soon as I hit lotto. We'll do lunch and take a meeting!
Jack Nicholson can relate to that given that he realized not long ago that he was raised by his grandmother as a son but in fact his sister was his mother.
George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) basically self aborts his life by wishing he was never born. And gets to see what the world would've been like w/o him around.
