Do you have financing or will you be crowd funding?

I wouldn't have thought it possible to insult Vladimir Harkonnen by comparison, but I think you've scored. Well done.

Great!! Leaves it open to a Sequel when the "stuff" in the casket begins coming ashore and you have two new characters-- Flotsum and Jetsam. Now, who could be the two vicious green eels sneaking around looking for new " victims"???

( Am hoping that Ivana is safely in an urn on one of her children's mantlepieces-- don't want to be disrespectful to the dead.)

Refined version. Nice edits. Macabre and lively.

Reading these scripts had me laughing till tears, thanks TC and all.

After the first I heard my inner voice say, in an Alan Alda wearing a Groucho Marx mask voice, "Hurmph, you haf ze classic case off vishful sinking." Sorry.

Settling back down to recover from the second, I couldn't help but think "But he gets away with it so often." That's when I remembered the closing shot from this, the trailer for the prequel. https://youtu.be/WEO4bGyZtjg

I like the small changes and the cliff hanger at the end. Was hoping that it was the "Flotsum and Jetsam" that Carol describes and not something for those sharks. Stands to reason it would be a treasure trove of secrets weighing down the thing. I am now eagerly anticipating the sequel.

This short film is in the spirit of your screenplay, and even has the appropriate soundtrack!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XrlpkYJtEU

Great movie versions -- one or two. I'll always see STEVE BANNON SCRATCHING HIS BALLS. It's another of his addictions, called ITCHY BALLS BANNON!
