I'm getting tired of coming up with a movie or TV show idea, keeping it to myself, and then seeing the idea come to life and not getting any credit for it. For instance, certain plot points included in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" are very similar to the story I came up with playing "Star Wars Episode VII" with my Star Wars Legos when I was 9 in 1999. After watching "Man of Steel", I said that the follow up to "Star Trek Into Darkness" needed to bring back Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk - which is happening in the follow up to "Star Trek Beyond". I also came up with the basic idea behind "Hannah Montana" in 2000 and a similar concept to "LOST" in 2003.
For the last year, I've been saying that there should be a live-action "Curious George" movie with Andy Serkis playing George and James Franco playing The Man In The Yellow Hat.

Today news broke that a live-action "Curious George" is going to be made. No cast has been announced yet. But if either one of my casting choices is used, I am going to demand Universal give me an executive producer credit, and the standard union payment amount that come with it.
I am going to try to stay a head of the curve and start posting my movie ideas to this blog. Maybe one day I will get the Hollywood credit I deserve.
