Remember the project called 20 BILLION? Well here I have SUNSET SAM (long term spy, new name) that came a strollin' down the avenue to clear it up. He had the coolest shades and the tightest pecs you ever did see. Anyway the project sounds like it could be some interesting material.
Just wanted to drop you a note RE: 20 BILLION, as mentioned in a recent page. Your source is quite confused, so let's clear some things up.
20 BILLION is a thinly veiled satire of BILL GATES and Microsoft--hence the name, $20 billion, which references how much money the man has.
The plot goes like this--a computer company manufactures an operating system, and keeps putting bugs in it on purpose, so that they can sell upgrades. But the practice backfires on them when a computer controlling a drill in a mine shaft melts down, and causes the drill to make the cave collapse, and dozens are killed. Gates and company scramble in the face of this impending PR disaster, and tries to figure out how to save their public image. Towards the end, Gates and other rich and powerful people recieve word that a comet or something is going to destroy the world--they are rich and powerful enough to build space ships that will carry the elite off-world and save their lives. I won't give away the twist ending...
This project should not be confused with the Microsoft expose/ satire MICROSERFS--20 Billion is written by THE PLAYER screenwriter Michael Tolkin (sic?) and is a comedy in that vein--what THE PLAYER did to Hollywood, this script does to MICROSOFT. Very funny stuff.
Whatever associations your source is making with Cameron and $20 Billion sound inaccurate to me. But I could be wrong...
