The Opening scene is India, like "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Westphalen and his team goes to temple, and Rakosh assault them, but only Westphalen escaped.

Young Kusum is staring at runaway Westphalen. His eyes closeup. And we see the movie's title on his eyes. The Tomb. It's cool, isn't it? Cool

I hear ya, Kenji, but its been done to death in movies before... I think that what was so cool about the book, was the gradual reveal of Kusums' immortality, his plot for revenge, the fact that it was him almost killed in the raid on the temple, and most importantly, The Rakosh as real living monsters... I think gradually revealing all of that is what made the novel such a great read- seeing it all in the beginning ten minutes would take something out of the story,(shock value, what have you) for me at leastSmile

Oh! I almost forgot the most important thing of all..... Jack slumping into his chair, possibly bleeding to death, as the phone starts to ring.

ROLL CREDITS Big Grin

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Yeah, I know...It's just...I thought that opening scene is cool. And, that's my "wish list". Besides, nobody care for my idea. Hehe....:p

I would love to see Glaeken. An old man with a cane walks by Abe's shop and/or Julio's just as Jack is entering. That should be an easy one that would delight us long-time fans. Smile

How about a big stack of FPW books on a shelf?

How about the rest of you? Shall we create a wish list of things we'd like to see in the film? You don't have to limit yourselves to [SIZE=3]The Tomb

I love the dog idea. They can borrow mine!

What age did they decide to give Vicky? I know they had thrown the idea around of making her a teenager.

My wish list is:
  • Include the Kolibati character and the "I've been Kamasutraed" line
  • Use a white Alaskan Malamute Wink
  • Keep Abe and Isher Sports
  • Have very cool rakoshi CGIs!

Brilliant! I second that idea.

I want to see the all those pieces of wavy-grained oak furniture that are so big and plentiful that they make everyone dizzy when they walk into Jack's apartment.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
