I better add script writer to my resume as well


Apparently the latest James Bond effort (with the hard hitting working title of "Bond 21") is sidelined while they are working to develop a script. Well, Eon productions, about 5 minutes of web browsing has come up with your next blockbuster script......

Take this snippet of news
"Strong demand has left Sony (NYSE: SNE) , the manufacturers of the PS2, short, and supplies for Europe have been held up after the container vessel from China was caught up in heavy canal traffic.

Sony is airlifting emergency supplies in a last-ditch attempt to bolster stocks in time for Christmas. A company spokesperson said: "A super-tanker full of PlayStation2s from our factory in China got stuck in the Suez Canal. We are having to make arrangements to fly them over in Russian cargo planes."

Toss in some of Sony's super creepy PSP femme/homme bots (see below) and an evil Chinese electronics tycoon trying to take over the world via video game hardware...You can have the climax on a supertanker in the Suez...instead of videogame hardware, it contains a some sort of super weapon (total rip of Metal Gear Solid:Sons of Liberty)... Add a Japanese love interest and have the antagonist's HQ in Roppongi Hills to milk the 'Japan cool' factor and the rest writes itself....Have your people call my people and we’ll hash out the treatment over a smoothie at the pool at Beverly Hills Hotel.

And here's some more real world news to work into the script.
Sony, the Japanese electronics company, has made an important breakthrough in its efforts to combat large-scale piracy of its PlayStation games console in China after a long investigati on that uncovered parts being assembled in a prison.

The probe, conducted over five years, has unearthed a web of at least 10 sub- contractors with a production capacity of 50,000 units a day for PlayStation consoles and controllers, as well as "modifying" chips.
