Dish-Houston

GET OUT! Come back in and GET OUT again!!! Possibly go commit suicide die die on vacation like Ken Lay...allegedly of course.

Right now in London you can take the piss, as the Brits say, at Enron! The English are having a go at the Houston disaster over a stage play called Enron, based off the Houston based energy company that committed heaps amount of fraud...understatement we know.

The sold-out show is doing so well in London's Royal Court Theatre that Sony Pictures has purchased the film rights from the playwright, Lucy Prebble, and is looking to make a movie out of the show (Fun with Dick and Jane anyone?) even commissioning the playwright to work on the screenplay about "most notorious scandal in modern corporate history." P.S. look for it on Broadway in April 2010.

Wall Street before Wall Street 2 comes out with Shia LaBeouf? As much as DISH thinks some of the folks involved with the idea of Astrodome Studios are silly, self involved and worthless...Shouldn't this movie be made here since the disaster happened here? Shouldn't the money go to help out the folks that lost everything because of this mess?? We are just sayin'...

P.P S. hasn't this already been done?? Filmmaker Alex Gibney made the Oscar-nominated documentary "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room"in 2005. Plus... Warner Bros. has been developing an Enron movie for years, adapted by Sheldon Turner from the nonfiction book "Conspiracy of Fools" by Kurt Eichenwald. Leonardo DiCaprio is a producer on that project, which director Robert Schwentke ("The Time Traveler's Wife") has been developing.

So what makes this such a hot topic??  See you at the movies! =)
