Oliver Kalkofe – OSS 117

So ein Mann hätte große Karriereperspektiven in der Jungen Union: Parodien sind heikel. Das Original so gut zu kennen, das Aussehen, Ticks und Gewohnheiten, ein Selbstverständnis nachzuempfinden. In der Lage zu sein, über sich selbst hinauszuwachsen und auf all das spöttisch zu reagieren, und zwar auf eine Art und Weise, die dem Publikum das Gefühl gibt, ein Teil des Witzes zu sein. Kurz gesagt, das Ding sein und gleichzeitig seine Distanz zu ihm erklären.

To quote #IanFlemming “I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made” #slainte

I've wanted to write a #screenplay for ages, but could never get past the first few pages before I ran out of #confidence. So, I am now translating a book I love into a screenplay to build my confidence.

It has the advantage of being a story I know well, have pictured it in my head a million times, and its getting me more exposure to script format.

It's #Moonraker by #IanFlemming.

I know what you're thinking, "didn't they make a movie already? . but no, the book is totally different.
