I am starting a screenwriting class today for the sole purpose of turning "lightning" into a screenplay. I believe that a movie, by the right director, based on the screenplay, has the potential to be a blockbuster in the magnitude of T2 or Titanic. I too believe that
this novel has a very unique story and rich characters. Most importantly it has the element of good vs evil and a strong romantic element between the leading male and female characters, which is what makes great movies. I have plenty of ideas for scenes in the movie and I can almost picture them in my minds eye. I have read the book many times over and I still get excited when reading it over.
I have a second cousin that has produced the "Rush Hour" Jacky Chan movies. I have not had a relationship with him, but I am hoping that he may be an "in" for me to pitch the screenplay.
I would also like to collaborate with someone that has much better writing skills than me and would welcome other creative ideas about the screenplay. I am more interested to see the movie based on a great screenplay become reality than to be the sole person writing the screenplay.
You can email me directly if you would be interested in some sort of collaboration or just to simply bounce ideas around.

I am extremely interested in the concept of adapting 'Lightning' into a screenplay. Having read the book numerous times myself, I have always seen the movie potential in the book, and I am very excited to find that someone else has the same attitude.
I have already completed several spec scripts, some of which are in various stages of development, but I would love to have the opportunity to work on the adaptation of 'Lightning'.
Please e-mail me at the above address.

Hey,

I just read this thread randomly because I started writing a screenplay for Lightning as a practice spec script, based on the abridged audio version. did you guys make any progress?? I'm a NY based writer/director with loads of studio connections. I know many people at Dimension Films which i think would be a great place to pitch to--keep the dream alive. It would make a great movie with the right director./
