The second, I believe is LORD OF LIGHT. I recall reading a few years back that someone had purchased options or rights to film it, and had the whelming idea of creating an amusement park based on the sets and props and things from the film. Needless to say, the whole project went down the tubes. Probably a good thing, too. I don't think I'd trust anyone short of a Stanley Kubrick or Robert Altman to pull off LOL (and I'm not sure about them two, either). --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
