My daughters husband[son-in-law..that's hard to say still] Lee S sold his 1st movie screenplay.This article below was in this weeks Variety from Hollywood.It's a remake of the movie "The Fury".He just finished at U. of Texas in the James Michner program.Although "the Fury " is there 1st sold screenplay it's his other screenplay " Of Every Wickedness" that will soon be sold and make it big.It's about the first serial killer in america that takes place in austin at the turn of the century. I'm really proud of him.My daughter is lucky to have such a great and talented husband.My wife wants me to move to Austin and retire there so she can be close to our daughter.They are hinting to maybe start trying to have a family. With Lee being 6'4 and my daughter 6'3 they need some kids.I'll come down and start working on post moves to the hoop.
This article is from this weeks Variety...I'll keep you posted on the updates...hate to brag here but it's nice when these young kids get a break in life.

THE FURY at a Brian De Palma remake!

Brian De Palma isn?t capable of making good movies anymore, so studio?s are instead looking at remaking his past works to recapture some of his unique magic from the 70?s and 80?s on film.

Variety say that Fox 2000 have hired writers Brian McGreevy and Lee Shipman to scribe an contemporary reimaging of the 1976 Kirk Douglas/John Cassavates horror The Fury which was directed by Palma and based on a novel by John Farris.



New version will center on a young man with heightened kinetic powers who is abducted by the government in order to take advantage of his special gifts.





McGreevy and Shipman won the gig of writing this remake when their collaborated script Of Every Wickedness made it onto the 2007 studio blacklist of the hottest unproduced screenplays.

Vinnie....that was great.lol renaldo
In the movie "of every wickedness" one of the suspects is Maylasian...Renaldo could get the part..lol..suspect kills 8 or 9 woman in austin,then disappears...3 years later Jack the Ripper does his thing in London.Some historians try to connect the murders.There were 3 people who left austin and moved to London..one was a maylasian cook...it could be Renaldo...

Congrats, Box! You might want to consider what you wife is saying and make the move to Austin. I think most people would love living there and hell, you already know how to do the Two-Step. ;)
