one july ninety eight eleven p m it won't make a good movie I found myself mentally composing a feature film in my head which would be a sequel based on the TV show I Dream Of Jeannie. I hate movies based on TV shows, even when I liked the TV show. They're needless. In most cases, I'd much rather watch reruns of the show itself. But this would have been a little different ... which is why I'm not going to write it as a movie. The opening would have been rather grim, it would have departed from formula in a number of ways, and it would have contained sex - all no-nos when movieizing a TV show. Fortunately, not only is the premise great story material, but I can easily remove all the TV references from it and have it intact. So I am beginning to write it - it serializes into small chunks well - and one of these days, you may see it. © columbine |
