1. wow

I've dreamed of making VALIS or ALBEMUTH for over a decade...

since its Hollywood, no doubt this project will fall apart completely and I'll have a chance yet.

otherwise, I'll impersonate Doctor Claw and shake my fist, yelling in a deep voice: "I'll get you next time, Simon... NEXT TIME! MUAHAHAHHA!"

Valis would be incredible.
