The one thing they forgot

Rating: 3/10 (30 December 2006)

Picture the scene: there's a building the size of Cheshire where the costumes are designed; another building twice the size where they are working on the effects; there are a row of twenty luxury trailers for the all star cast and a suite of state-of-the-art studios working on the soundtrack. Sir Ian arrives on set and says "Sorry loves, I hate to be a bit of an old-fashioned bore, but isn't a film, or "movie" as I believe you call them over here, supposed to have a script?". Panic!. The word goes out; "Get the work-experience kid. Give him ten comic books (not necessarily in the right order)and tell him we need a full screenplay by lunch." OK it may not have happened exactly like that, but that's certainly how it came over to me.
