Reddit-användare fick skriva Hollywood-manus

Tack vare tråd han startade på Reddit

Igår skrev vi om den okände musikproducenten Chris James som tack vare Twitter fick arbeta med Deadmau5 och dagens solskenshistoria handlar om Reddit-användaren James Erwin (Prufrock451) som nu får skriva ett filmmanus tack vare en tråd han startade på Reddit.

Tråden som James startade handlade om hur en bataljon av amerikanska marinkårssoldater skulle klara sig emot hela romarrikets här i en strid. Tråden blev snabbt populär och Reddit-läsarna ville hela tiden ha mer scenarion från James. Till slut utmynnade det hela i ett science fiction-manus som fick namnet "Rome sweet Rome" som Hollywood nu har lagt vantarna på och eventuellt kommer att göra en film av.

Nu får dock inte James posta något om Rome sweet Rome på Reddit längre vilket han tycker är tråkigt och han säger till Wired:
"I miss Reddit, I miss Reddit so much."

Vill ni läsa posten som startade det hela så finns den under "Läs mer" och vill ni läsa lite mer ingående om det hela så hoppa vidare bort till Wired på länken nedan.

The 35th MEU is on the ground at Kabul, preparing to deploy to southern Afghanistan. Suddenly, it vanishes.

The section of Bagram where the 35th was gathered suddenly reappears in a field outside Rome, on the west bank of the Tiber River. Without substantially prepared ground under it, the concrete begins sinking into the marshy ground and cracking. Colonel Miles Nelson orders his men to regroup near the vehicle depot—nearly all of the MEU’s vehicles are still stripped for air transport. He orders all helicopters airborne, believing the MEU is trapped in an earthquake.Nelson’s men soon report a complete loss of all communications, including GPS and satellite radio. Nelson now believes something more terrible has occurred—a nuclear war and EMP which has left his unit completely isolated. Only a few men have realized that the rest of Bagram has vanished, but that will soon become apparent as the transport helos begin circling the 35th’s location.Within an hour, the 2,200 Marines have regrouped, stunned. They are not the only moderns transported to Rome. With them are about 150 Air Force maintenance and repair specialists. There are about 60 Afghan Army soldiers, mostly the MEU’s interpreters and liaisons. There are also 15 U.S. civilian contractors and one man, Frank Delacroix, who has spoken to no one but Colonel Nelson.Miraculously, no one was killed during the earthquake but several dozen people were injured, some seriously. All fixed-wing aircraft and the attack helicopters were rendered inoperable by the shifting concrete, although the MEU did not lose a single vehicle or transport helicopter.As night falls, the MEU has established a perimeter. A few locals have been spotted, but in the chaos no one has yet established contact. Nelson and his men, who are crippled without mapping software and GPS to fix their position, begin attempting to fix their location by observing stars. The night is cloudy. Nelson orders four helicopters back into the air at first light, to travel along the river in hopes of locating a settlement.

Det här är definitivt en film jag kommer att se om den blir verklighet.
