The Last of Shiela is a fantastically fun and engaging mystery film starring James Coburn, Raquel Welch, and James Mason. An ensemble cast surrounds them. It is shot almost exclusively on location in West Asia and, well, you can't get much better. Small stunt budget, but I think they were hoping for a stage production.
So you know what happens, right?
Of course.
Thirty years go by and the studios won't push new ideas, so it's time for PREQUEL!
No?
Okay, SEQUEL!
Oh, shit. Remake? Okay, hands up for victims for the writing team. We've got till Monday for a treatment, and seven weeks for a completed first draft. Scale plus .01% of the net net plus food.
