Adrenaline Resurfaces

About ten years ago or so a friend of mine, Jenni Gold, asked me to write the first draft of a thriller she had in mind called Adrenaline. The story is about an international banker/embezzler who ends up on the wrong end of a con game that leads him avoiding the police, the mafia and the feds and a killer, all while being wanted for murder.

Well, Jenni and her husband Jeff have been pounding the pavement for 10 years out in L.A. and have moved up the show biz food chain slowly but surely. Over the past decade the film has been in various stages of pre-production/development... it felt like being in a long queue at Disney World. Every once and a while you get near the entrance to the ride of your life, but then the queue winds around and you find yourself a mile away again. However, recently Jenni saw an opportunity to pull Adrenaline out of the closet, dust it off and see if she could attach some real actors to the film.

So far she's doing great. I can't name any names now because the deals like this are all basically "tentative" until the film actually starts shooting, but its exciting to me, as a writer, to think that a rock and roll singer, some high quality actors and a Hollywood legend are all reading my script and liking it a lot.

That's very weird.

As my friend Kyme said, it's a validation that maybe I have some talent after all. Maybe.

This may just be another turn in the queue line, but it sure has been a very interesting journey so far. Hopefully, this time the film will finally get made and we'll get to hop on and enjoy the ride of our life.
