Price http://marcaprice.com/film-tv/steven-spielberg-to-next-direct-harvey/ Hollywood is emotionally, morally, spiritually and creatively bankrupt. Make a fucking original film for the sake of fucking fuck.

Steven Spielberg will direct as his next film a contemporary adaptation of Mary Chase’s Pulitzer Prize winning play “Harvey,” a co-production between Twentieth Century Fox and DreamWorks Studios. The announcement was made today by Fox Chairmen Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman and DreamWorks partners Stacey Snider and Spielberg.

Harvey is the first screenplay by the best-selling novelist Jonathan Tropper.

I mean if you Google “children with guns” then you come up with either images of 9 year olds who are enlisted in some African or Asian para-military organisation or articles on what a bad idea it is for kids to have guns.

However, it seems that the Boy Scouts of America are training young lads and lasses to combat “terrorism” and patrol American borders. This wins the newly instated “most fucked up thing I saw today award”.
