 Bad Movie Idea of the Day - A Terry Shiavo film "A year after Terri Schiavo died, a quartet of producers-including Mike Farrell and Lawrence Bender-have optioned the rights to Michael Schiavo's just-published book "Terri: The Truth" and are looking to develop it as a telepic or feature film. Variety says Farrell and Bender would produce any project in conjunction with their respective partners, Marvin Minoff and Kevin Brown.
[...]
"The story is almost Shakespearean in the warring of the families and the great love story between the (couple)," Minoff told the trade. "It starts off so beautifully and then ends so chaotically.""

Lawrence Bender as producer?
So it will be... violent then?  _________________A hot man once wrote: Urgh, I have to throw out half my underwear because it's too tight.

Hopefully this doesn't clog up theaters and just ends up as a quickly forgotten movie of the week on cable somewhere.

That's almost as bad as the upcoming Cindy Sheehan movie.

I think if they concentrate instead on the politics surrounding it and the hypocracy of some politicians, it could be interesting, but instead if they play it up as a Hallmark Movie of the Week it will probably suck.

True, kind of like JFK, it would be interesting at the least. Terry Schiavo doesn't even have to appear in the film. _________________A hot man once wrote: Urgh, I have to throw out half my underwear because it's too tight.

One way or another, it'd be still exploiting a personal tradegy, so I don't think it's a good idea anyway. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

The blurb says the movie is going to cover their romance, and it's all based on Schiavo's book. I should be interesting to see how they cover it. The blurb aslo says this can be either a TV or movie feature. This will probably go on TV.
