Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
One of my favorite spies here in town, a long time agent of chaos who's given me many rock-solid scoops over the years, recently gave me some info that got me caught up in all sorts of cease-and-desist letters and threats of legal action, and now he's been driven underground. He's on the move, trying to stay one step ahead of those who would destroy him. THE FUGITIVE GUY took the time to drop by The Moriarty Labs on his way out of town, though, to drop off the following note, which I found rolled up and stuffed in Mongo's nose when he came in from his walk this morning:
Mel Gibson has signed on to star in WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE...AND YOUNG. It
is the story of Lt. Col. Hal Moore (played by Gibson), who led 80 men of
the US Cavalry into a small clearing in the Drang Valley of Vietnam in
1965. 2000 enemy soldiers surrounded them and the battle was one of the most
savage in U.S. History. The film wil be directed by Randall Wallace, who
Directed THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK and is credited as a writer on PEARL
HARBOR.
Oh... my. Sounds like the perfect match of director and material. I'm going to start digging and see what we can come up with. According to Harry, Mel Gibson's staying with the real-life Lt. Col. Hal Moore in middle-America right now, soaking up every detail about the guy. If nothing else, we're guaranteed a spectacle. Let's hope it's a great one.
"Moriarty" out.
