Rani ©![]()
Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi raised a great rebellion in 1857
against the ever oppressive and onerous British rule. The
British Empire was at its peak and justice had failed to
prevail throughout the entire Indian continent. In 1854 when
her husband died, the British Raj annexed Jhansi dispossessing
her. Then when the Indian army mutinied in the province, she
was made the scapegoat for the rebellion. The third occasion
came when the British, realising her popularity, blackened her
name and reputation. Now resentful, she turned against them.
Leading a gigantic army, she declared war, a woman unique for her time, she led at the head, fighting hand to hand with such valour that even the British grudgingly admired her. Victory after victory was hers until she was mortally wounded in battle, thus ending the great Indian uprising.
An inspiring story with universal appeal that crosses the Occidental and Oriental cultures. This is a movie that will sell well both East and West. With a budget of $8million, over 50% ($4million) have been pledged immediately from Eastern backers.
With Indian know-how and the skills of the Indian film industry,
Rani could be in production this year, 2003.

Humour
Hellsbells©
The most politically incorrect movie that could be destined to
hit the screens in years. Every tabboo in the politically
correct world is broken and the author admits that the
likleyhood of it ever being taken up is zilch, although Eastern
Europe loves the script, not giving a fig for PC!
So Angels, do you dare risk it? Hellsbells is from the pen of
the author of the outrageous 'Sacre Bleu' that was front page on
The Hollywood Reporter. There hasn't been a script like it since
Springtime With Hitler was written into The Producers, the Mel
Brooks classic. Currently written in book form only.

Its director, Jane Spencer, is faced with diminishing revenue as theatre attendances fall. Jane Spencer is an aficionado of Shakespeare which is highly unsuitable to a Yorkshire country town. Disregarding the advice of her colleagues, she persists in her endeavours. Eventually the Board rebels, and demands her resignation, placing an American director, one Michael Brandt whose speciality is comical farce - far more suited to Biggleston!
Arnold and Brian take a new interest in the revived theatre,
but their continuous involvement arouses suspicions from their
wives. The climax comes in a hilarious finale when the wives
turn up one night to find out what the great attraction is, but
unbeknown to them, the arts council representative was also
attending that performance and now sparks are about to fly!

Sacre Bleu ©
A hilarious mediaeval comedy. The

incorporating action, drama, sex, comedy and just a touch of gothic horror - any
one of these genres makes for success, but this movie has everything - it has
them all!
