This came to me in a dream: I am going to write a mystery set in Paris in the 1920s. Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein must solve a murder. It will be written from their perspectives in their styles. It will be absurd. However, it will be critically well received. At least one critic will call it a “tour de force”. It will be made into a movie starring Luke Wilson as Hemingway, Ben Affleck as Joyce, and Demi Moore as Stein. It will be an unwatchable mess but Demi will win a Golden Globe for her portrayal and Affleck will be nominated (even though he looks nothing like Joyce and his accent will be vaguely Scottish instead of Irish throughout the film). I will feel cheap and whorish, but I will use my money and connections to do bigger better things. You just wait and see.

Demi will be most awesome as Stein. I know that J-Lo has the scheduling conflict as she was playing Woolf in The Bloomsbury Debacle. And are you sure its Wilson and not Schwartzman? They were looking for the hairy one. I understand there will be a cameo by Andy Dick as Samuel Beckett. (I know!! but apparently he’s always been quite the Beckett scholar on the side).
