This is a screenplay I have written. It was optioned by a film company in Hollywood. They re-optioned it for a second year and then we got the rights back. We are planning on making the feature film ourselves.Story: Two British spies, involved in breaking the enigma codes discover that the Germans are launching the largest night air raid in history with the intention of destroying the city of Coventry. This is the story of two men who are against each other to the point they are willing to kill each other, but both are right.
sounds interesting - is it based on a true story? I vaguely remember something like that mentioned in a documentary a long time ago - though I could be mistaken.
ReplyDeleteIt is based on a true story. The attack on Coventry called "Moonlight Sonata" is a real attack and Winston Churchill made the call to not evacuate or alert the city because if they did and the Germans bombed an empty city, Hitler would know that England had broken the Enigma codes and potentially lose the war. In this story the setting and events are all real but my two main characters are fictional. This script took more research than any other I have written. I spent a lot of time in the library.
