PROBLEM: Fact1: film opens with reenactment of final scenes of Waxwork with Mark and Sarah leaving burning waxwork, Fact2: disembodied zombie hand from first film follows Sarah to run-down flat, Fact3: Mark and Sarah In hope of visit Wilfred 's home gathering evidence, Fact4: secret switch in Wilfred 's chessboard opens door to room full of objects, Fact5: device was used in history to travel through dimension consisting of stories

SOLUTION: The film opens with a reenactment of final scenes of Waxwork, with Mark and Sarah leaving the burning waxwork the part of Sarah having been recast from the first film. The disembodied zombie hand from the first film follows Sarah to her rundown flat and kills her stepfather with a hammer, a murder for which Sarah is blamed. No one believes her story about the evil waxwork. In the hope of gathering evidence, Mark and Sarah visit the late Sir Wilfreds home, where they find a filmreel of Sir Wilfred speaking of his and Marks grandfathers adventures and of the artifacts they collected together. A secret switch in Sir Wilfreds chessboard opens a door to a room full of objects where Mark and Sarah find a small compasslike device. They learn this device was used in history by light and dark angels to travel through another dimension consisting of stories that have become realities including homages to Frankenstein, The Haunting, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Dr. Jekyll, Alien, Godzilla, Jack the Ripper, Nosferatu, and Dawn of the Dead. According to exposition later given by Sir Wilfred in the form of a raven, these worlds comprise Gods video game, where God and the devil battle over the fate of the world, each victory being reflected in events occurring in the real world. When Mark or Sarah appear in each reality they take on the persona of characters in those stories, sometimes having their personalities and memories taken over by those characters until they regain their senses. Mark plans to gather evidence of the reanimated dead to bring back to the real world as proof of Sarahs story in court. After several failed attempts and being lost in one world after another, they battle with an evil sorcerer and Mark is able to send Sarah home with an animated zombie hand as proof of her story. Unable to return with her, Mark instead arranges to have another compass delivered to Sarah after her trial ends so she can rejoin him.

PROBLEM: Fact1: evening before he must supervise large concrete pour in Birmingham, Fact2: concrete pour in European history largest non-nuclear facility, Fact3: wife and sons are awaiting arrival home to watch important football match, Fact4: Locke decides to drive to London to be with Bethan during childbirth, Fact5: Bethan calls to share cooing of baby having had successful birth

SOLUTION: The evening before he must supervise a large concrete pour in Birmingham the largest nonnuclear facility concrete pour in European history, construction foreman Ivan Locke learns that Bethan, a colleague from a job in Croydon with whom he had a onenight stand seven months previously which resulted in her becoming pregnant, has gone into premature labour. Despite his job responsibilities and although his wife and sons are eagerly awaiting his arrival home to watch an important football match, Locke decides to drive to London to be with Bethan during childbirth. Locke never forgave his father for abandoning him as a child, and he is determined not to make the same mistake, even though he has no relationship with, nor any particular feelings for, Bethan. Over the course of the twohour drive from Birmingham to London, Locke holds a total of 36 phone calls with: his boss Gareth; his backup work colleague Donal; Katrina his wife of 15 years to confess his infidelity; his sons, Eddie and Sean, who call him separately with updates on the match and eventually the worrisome breakdown of their mother; St. Marys maternity unit medical personnel, Sister Margaret then Dr. Gullu, who are working with Bethan through some troubling complications; the council head, Cassidy, and local police authority, PC Davids, required for the road closures needed to allow the 225+ concrete trucks to properly access the site; and with Bethan to reassure her during her labour. During these calls, he is fired from his job, banned from his house by his wife, and asked by his older son to please return home. He coaches his assistant Donal through preparing the pour despite some major setbacks, and has imaginary conversations with his dead father, whom he envisions unseen onscreen as a passenger in the car; he berates his father for abandoning Lockes family, and vows he will not repeat that mistake. When he is close to the hospital, Bethan calls to share the cooing of the baby, having had a successful birth.

PROBLEM: Fact1: film is set in New York, Fact2: Maxwell Perkins lives in cottage just outside city, Fact3: Wolfe 's relationship with Aline Bernstein is tested after publication of Wolfe 's novel, Fact4: Max manages to publish Wolfe 's second novel Of Time and River after exhausting revision work, Fact5: Thomas follows events thanks to news received from Max

SOLUTION:
The film is set in New York in 1929. Maxwell Perkins, a Scribners successful editor and discoverer of talented authors such as Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, lives in a cottage just outside the city with his wife and five daughters. One day, in his office, he reads the drafts of O Lost, a novel by Thomas Wolfe. Struck by the content, Perkins decides to publish it and begins to collaborate with the author. The novel is eventually published and proves to be a huge success: fifteen thousand copies sold in a single month. Max and Thomas become best friends, while Wolfes relationship with Aline Bernstein, a married woman twenty years older than he, is severely tested after the publication of Wolfes novel. Max manages to publish Wolfes second novel, Of Time and the River, after exhausting revision work that lasts for years. The second novel is also a success. Meanwhile, Thomas is in Paris where he follows the events remotely, thanks to news received from Max. Back in New York, he immediately goes to work, writing his new book. His turbulent character leads him to quarrel with Max, destroying the relationship between the two and making Wolfe turn to another editor. Aline finally leaves Thomas, because he is too selfabsorbed and unable to care for others. After Max has reconciled himself with Thomass absence, a phone call comes from Thomas mother: Thomas has contracted milial tuberculosis. Despite surgery, Thomas shows no signs of improving. After a few weeks he dies, but before that he writes a letter to Max, reaffirming his immense affection for him.
