It's a funny old world.
Jul. 22nd, 2008 12:41 pmA few years - about 4 or 5 - ago I had yet another one of my immensely brilliant ideas. I have a lot of these, which range from rubbish to scatalogical to childish to sublime, and as I have no quality control whatsoever so I'm never sure if any of my ideas will ever amount to anything or not.
This idea was a deliberate attempt to create a pitch for a cult film; it was called "Panda Master" and featured a Panda who was wise in the ways of the martial arts played as a comedy action/adventure. I rather liked it as a concept and went so far as to sketch out a few scenes - a training sequence on the side of one of those snowy, pine-covered mountains that litters China in kung-fu movies, and a martial arts fight scene on a frozen lake.
It didn't go all that far and as an idea it got put aside as yet more ideas sleeted into my brain. After all, I thought. What are the odds that a bigshot Hollywood producer would pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for a spec action comedy script about a Kung-Fu Panda?
Oh, Bollocks.
