Podesta & DeLonge talk NETFLIX plus the usual suspects
Great things happening.
*I had an incredible meeting at Spielberg's Amblin/DreamWorks Pictures.
They are taking their time on reading the book. For them story comes first.
*I met with ScottFree (Ridley Scott's company) last week - they did the
Martian film that has won incredible acclaim over this past year. They
were blown away by what I am doing, they need a couple weeks to dig
through the Novel. Like everybody else I meet with, their faces drop
halfway through the meeting and can't believe that I am spearheading
a project that has support from the shadows. They look comatosed…
Ha. But they it's so incredibly excited that this topic may start to come out.
*I did a general introduction with NetFlix. They want a company-wide
meeting on it ASAP, but I need to wait until I go in with a Producing
Partner that we pick- Like Amblin or ScottFree.
*I met with Allie Shearmur's company, she used to Run LionsGate Films
and produced all the Jason Bourne films as well as the new Star Wars
film that is coming out later this year. The execs were again, blown away.
They should have thoughts for us this week actually.
*I have an Amazon meeting and VICE NEWS in next 2 weeks. Amazon,
Netflix are biggest TV studios now and doing the most prestigious shows,
actually. VICE NEWS just raised $300 million to start doing fictional
television based on NonFiction. Sounds like our model.
*i am meeting with Ron Howard's and Brian Grazer's company Imagine tomorrow.
*The General (from Wright Patt R&D) and I talk every other day. He and
I talked on the phone the other night and he is excited, he really thinks that
the DOD is going to embrace my project because I am out to show all the
positive things great people have done on this topic. And I am eager to take
direction from leadership to do a good and needed public service…
