Thanks for asking.

Did you see Jupiter Ascending? It was a good movie in its own right and it showed what a remake of B5 could be!!

This film (translation: Colour me Saffron), Rang De Basanti, was made with just US$4.0 million in 2006. Yes, sorry, nine years old.
It’s a bit too long (129 minutes) and the first half drags; that half is very poor with many hackneyed scenes. But stick with it. (The Blu Ray DVD, it has English subtitles).
There is a twist in the plot. A twist that is unpredictable and amazing, yet perfectly logical in hindsight—that elusive Holy Grail for writers. The second half left my jaw on the floor.
This is one of the most Romanticist movies ever made. Multi-protagonist stories are hard enough to write, but this has four journeys that integrate into one story.
I had stopped watching the DVD. My wife kept going. I went past the TV, saw the turn, I realized what the screenwriter (Renzil D’Silva) had done; the penny dropped. I could visualize the rest of the story after that, yet I could not leave it.
It would be a hell of a case study for a screenwriting class. It’s mind-boggling how a single incident can turn an entire narrative on its head. My jaw is still on the floor. Time to pick it up and start writing.

October Sky (true story about Homer Hickam)
