My activity on Marglish has been a bit hushed lately, but that’s because I have been dedicating my literary shouts to create another soon to be blockbuster film. Through cross-country skype chats with my very first writing partner, Ethan Marrell, we have created. . .

Disassembly Required

Logline: Enticed by a big payday, an ex-military bounty hunter compromises his family’s waning stability when he agrees to return an escaped experimental super-soldier who has taken hostages inside a local IKEA.

In other words, Die Hard in an IKEA.  What do you think?  You can read more of a summary and some excerpts on the Disassembly Required website.

Feel free to share your comments here, as it’s a work in progress and we’d love to get some feedback on our efforts.  What other parts of an IKEA would you like to see blown to smithereens?  Have you ever made a creative trap out of your flat packed items? Who would you cast as our lead?

Stay tuned for future drafts and more news about our creative endeavors.

Or at least out of cell phone range, since I’m not sure how many cell towers there are in central Tasmania.  I’m officially going as close to Antarctica as I have ever been.  I’m glad I’m going during the summer.

So, until I return I will be out of touch.  But I plan to come back with endless blogs worth of stories (which I will compile into just a few) albums worth of pictures (and I promise to weed out the ones that I’m making funny faces in) and hopefully I would have achieved my goal of meeting a Tassie devil and hugging a big fat wombat.  I’ll let you know how it all works out.

Enjoy your wintery (and mild Californian) Holidays in that upper hemisphere and I’ll share my slightly sunnier and warmer adventures from down under when I return to a wireless internet connection.

As they say in Oz . . . CHEERS!
