OUR JAMES 6

The speaker is summarizing a movie idea involving archaeology, art dealers, and stolen artifacts. They mention the movie "The Mummy" as a reference, but want their movie to be more like a combination of Indiana Jones and James Bond. They discuss scenes such as meeting with a shady art dealer, planning a theft from a museum, and the discovery of a toothpick left behind as a clue. The speaker emphasizes the importance of attention to detail in creating a compelling movie. So that summarizes the movie. Now I know watching these other movies, they're really high-end movies, like this big... This Hollywood produced movies. Like The Mummy, it's a big Hollywood produced kind of movie, so maybe it's not a really good example. But I think it has a lot of stuff in it, which is basically along the lines of what we're looking at. It's archaeology stuff, and it's got that. And that's what's so fascinating. So then we write the script, you find the locations, and then you film it. The next one, like the next movie after that could be better, but the first one you just kind of... It's like buying your first car or whatever. You know, you buy the car, you make the transaction, you purchase it. You got your driver's license, you need to register the car, right? The car has to be running well. Gotta know how to put the gas into it. Gotta know how to keep the tires filled. See? So now you can drive this thing all over the place and have a great time, and that's your first one. See? Then the second one, you can really kind of get the kind of car you want and do everything again, but it's a little more padded. You got everything padded now. You're not starting from ground zero. Now everything is padded because you're making money from this whole project. See? So the second one, you know, you fill the gas in there. Tires are in good condition. You know, the car looks like the model you want. Now it's driving. It's a good vehicle. It's the model you want now. It's really looking good. So it's going to be looking better and functioning better. See? Imagine you get a million dollars or whatever now. You can redo the engine. You can make the brakes. You can make everything work really well. So that'll be like the second movie. The first one is just to get the kind of the first one, you know, and then there's the second one. So I want to study the movie The Mummy, even though it's kind of, yeah, so-so. It's not really Indiana Jones. It's not the spirit of Indiana Jones, this adventure in archaeology and asking questions and this academic stuff. It's more like a cheap knockoff of Indiana Jones. And, again, I want it to be kind of like – I want it to be also kind of like James Bond, like more James Bond than Indiana Jones. I mean somewhat Indiana Jones, somewhat James Bond, and they cover the whole thing about art dealers that are buying and selling these pieces and someone comes into this guy who's a known shady art dealer and, you know, inquiring about this and that. I want this kind of thing. Do you have any idea if this is possible to buy this piece? And he's like, the Golden Jackal. The Golden Jackal is actually a very important historical artifact. It is in the great museum of Cairo. And then the guy says, well, what would it cost if I could get a hold of the Golden Jackal or are there any other similar models, similar artifacts? And it's like, well, I can't get a hold of the Golden Jackal. Are you crazy? It's in the museum of Cairo. So what, you come in here asking me for a private collection? See, so we'd be involving that. And it's like, yeah, is there a private collector that maybe you can refer me to? It's like, huh, I'm thinking this guy's a high roller. This thing is worth $3 million. This is a high-rolling guy. What the heck is this? A private collector, huh? Well, I can get you in touch with a pretty big private collector. He knows all about these things. Are you really interested in that? It's like, yeah, pretty interested. Because that guy's going to make a lot of money off it. Money makes people do things. So he can make like a million dollars off of the thing. It's like, yeah, yeah, get me in touch with the private collector. It's like, okay, okay, okay. And here's his number. You can call him over here. And then maybe they use like a woman. And the woman says, oh, hi. The woman makes the call. I want to talk about this. I want to talk about some of your art pieces and stuff. You want to talk about some of your art pieces? Okay. I'll meet you at the Desert Hotel at so-and-so, you know, at the bar at the Desert Hotel. Saturday, yeah, 11 o'clock in the morning. Or Saturday, 9 o'clock. And then she says, Saturday, 9 o'clock. She gives it to the guy. It's like, Saturday, 9 o'clock. And then the bad guy meets with this guy, something like that. See, Indiana Jones has a lot of that. The Belloc at the restaurant scene where he's talking to him and stuff and sits down, it would only take a nudge to make you like me, to push you out of the light. The scene between Belloc and Indiana Jones in the restaurant. So there would be the shady restaurant in Cairo in the Middle East, all this stuff. The truck's gone. It makes sense. And so then they negotiate the thing and says, Well, if you really have a million dollars, I can definitely get you something. The guy's like, but it needs to be real, not a copy. It's like, okay, okay, something like that. And this is just the basic outline. See, because in the Indiana Jones Raiders of Lost Ark, it was about this ark and the Nazis were going out there to dig it out of the ground. It's hard to find a believable artifact that is still under the ground today. It doesn't exist. It's mostly in museums, which is why the Mummy movie had a lot of scenes in museums and all of this stuff. In museums, it's more realistic. But it's fascinating, these dig sites. So maybe we could do some scene at some dig sites where they're talking and they're kind of like the Alan Grant of Jurassic Park, where they're walking and talking about this. It's like theoretically. It can even be directly brought up. Like, look, you're telling me you want to steal it? You go to jail for life or something like that. Why are you telling me that? And the guy's like, no, no, no, I don't want to steal it. I mean, maybe for purchase or something like that. And the guy's like, don't talk to me about stuff like that. I've got things to do here. We're running a dig site. And then he's like, look, the man you want to talk to is this guy. He's the biggest art dealer in Cairo. Okay, here you go. And a close-up of the note right there, you know, I'm a person or whatever. And there's the number, handwritten right there. Then you've got the fade out and the airplane is going. But, of course, you're on music. And then the plane landing. And he's going to visit that guy. That's how these movies are made. He's fascinating. Then the guy is meeting with this guy, he's the biggest art dealer. He's like, what are you interested in? Of course, I can get you anything, anything. What do you need? Gold? Artifacts? Gold, artifacts, rubies, diamonds, what do you want? How much money do you need? What's your budget? And then the guy's like, look, I have a very specific interest. I have a very specific interest. I want the, we have a client. It could be through the client. The client wants it. And then he's trying to get it from me. A very specific interest. A golden jackal. Stands about 24 inches tall. And the guy's like, huh, huh, it's a golden jackal. Hmm, interesting. You have a, your client wants this golden jackal, huh? And he's like, no, no, no, he wants the original. He's like, he wants the original, huh? He's like, everybody knows the original is in the Museum of Cairo. Why are you talking to me about this? The original is in the Museum of Cairo. What are you talking about? And maybe the guy's like, show me. To the guy's face. Like that. He's like, okay, my friend. Show me, huh? Are you ready? You want to go? This kind of thing. And then he's like, ready when you are. And then they go to the car or whatever. And then the guy's like, walking into the actual museum. He's like, well. Because if you want to steal it, you have to know exactly where it's at. He's like, here it is. And then the camera goes to the display case. And shows the jackal just like that. And shows the guy looking at it. From the side, there's the security guards and stuff like that. And they're walking, literally showing the thing. Then he talks to his team of people. And says, well, it's on this part of the museum here. And then there's an air conditioning shaft going in here. It could be like a Mission Impossible style thing where they're going there. Into this shaft. After hours. Like little sniper silencers. Silencers shooting the, or somebody's like grabbing a guy from behind. Grabbing the guard. The guard is like pointing the flashlight. Then from behind him, somebody grabs the guard and muzzles him. And then the guard is tied in a spare room. You know, sounds like Indiana Jones, right? In the cleaning room or wherever. The guard is tied. And then they find him tied up with ropes and stuff. And during the night, then the camera zooms in and says the thing is gone. No, it's not going to be shown that it's gone. It's going to be a duplicate will be in its place. But maybe some small detail. Some little small detail or something. Like maybe the guy has some toothpicks in his pocket or something. And one of the toothpicks drops. Slow motion of the toothpick dropping. On the inside of that museum display cabinet. And then the dark to light scene where the city is waking up. And then the next day, this, this, this. And then people are like, somebody from the museum is like, there's a toothpick in there. The guy is talking to the museum guard. Nobody notices in the museum. Do you notice a toothpick in, like laying in the display case? The guy is like, no, I don't think there's a toothpick in the display case. He's like, come here, I'll show you. Mike, look at this. He's like, what do you mean there's a toothpick? This is the piece here. Huh. That's strange. And then he tells his security team, tells the, he has the whole movie has these pieces that go together.
