The Moon or Bust?

Sorry for the delay - technical difficulties with a temperamental internet connection.

It looks like the famous or is it becoming infamous at this point moon project of Doug Liman's is getting pulled off the launch pad for some retooling. This time "Black Hawk Down" screenwriter Ken Nolan has been brought on to rework the script.

The original draft lunar colonoization was written by Liman and John Hamburg, and what's weird and oh such a Hollywood kind of coincidence that someone associated with Black Hawk Down should be taking a crack at it – the book’s writer, Mark Bowden has already revamped the script once, as well as Liman and Hamburg had a rewrite at it as well.

Some say the movie is gonna be more summer blockbuster stuff like Armageddon, or Deep Impact than serious sci-fi , like 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Now if they've had these many guys writing, why can't we have a go. So come on get creative get a little crazy. Here's the pitch - you come up with the story.

You have a young brash captain who is heading up the first lunar expedition in 35 years:

What happens next?

Romance ? Courage? Valor? Redemption Explosion of asteroids? Rough waves in the Sea of Tranquilty?

Aliens? Astronaut gone rogue? Mysterious moon illness? Crazy hijinks with a stowaway cat and a monkey? Is the moon really made of Cheese and Jake astronaut and chef the only one to know what to do before the sun melts it?

2001 meets Rocket Man with a whole lot of Bubble Boy?

Star Wars meets Armageddon and Space Cowboys with a Twist?

The Moon meets Rocket Boys and Pilgrim's Progress?

Deep Impact meets Outbreak with Titanic proportions?

Capricorn One meets All the Right Stuff and the Hunt for Red October?

Josie and the Pussycats meets The Lost Saucer and the Great Space Coaster? Woo Hoo!

Come on see what you do get this off the ground, obviously Dougie needs the help.
