Wouldn't CBS make more ad money & get better ratings by actually AIRING and supporting Sharyl Attkisson's news pieces on the Gunwalker scandal?

I guess fiction is safer to their world views.

CBS Films picks up thriller script

Marc Maurino's original script follows ATF agent's descent into corruption

By Jeff Sneider

CBS Films has pre-emptively purchased rights to Marc Maurino's original script "Inside the Machine."

ContraFilm brought the project to CBS, with company principals Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson are attached to produce.

The action thriller follows an undercover ATF agent's journey into the heart of the Murder Machine, a vicious cartel ruled by a criminal mastermind. As the strain on his family mounts and he finds himself increasingly seduced by the power and violence of his undercover persona, the agent must determine how far he will go to serve justice.

CBS Films' VP of Production Mark Ross and creative exec Ryan Conroy will oversee for the studio. Creative exec Alex Church brought the project to ContraFilm.

Maurino is repped by UTA and Circle of Confusion, while Flynn and Vinson are repped by attorney Adam Kaller of Hansen Jacobson.

LATER: So, I sent a copy of this to the author, Jeff Sneider, and this what he immediately shot back:

Don't email me again

To which I responded:

Don't worry. I'd hate to be responsible for wrecking your Hollywood world view too. Probably put you in rehab or something.

Vanderboegh, OUT.

With the BATFE, wouldn't ascent into corruption be more plausible and accurate?; May 11, 2011 at 6:36 PM
Anonymous said...: I guess this is supposed to be biased and slanted to make us, the sheeple, feel pity and sorrow for the trials and tribulations of the poor, poor picked on hard working BATFEces agent over his tireless efforts to strip citizens of their rights as he attempts to nab the Bad Guys -- oops! But the Bad Guys get away to Mexico.

On a similar thought:
It seemed odd to me that of recent weeks the murder and mayhem news from Mexico has been subdued. No longer do I see daily reports of gun related violence from south of the border. I thought to myself, "Maybe they all decided to play nice."
Then, knowing the tactics of the liberal media, I did a Google search "Mexico Murders". The time and date stamps on most of the search results dropped off rather quickly about the end of February toward the first part of March. It seems the MSM has turned their spotlight off.
Now when did the news about the Gunwalker scandal begin to break open?

Reg T said...: Yes, Kurt. But it should be spelled: ass-scent.

I'm quite certain the upper echelons at BATF exhibit that standard canine behavior when they get together. It helps to identify which nether region requires the greatest amount of oscultation.; May 12, 2011 at 2:25 AM

I don't know about you but when I saw that response I was so scared I almost wet myself!

You better not write him again Mike or he'll Italicize it too.

What a puke.; May 12, 2011 at 10:12 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
