Red Leather

I’m starting to have a piece-de-resistance kind of idea in honor of the upcoming Flying Fork Day.
It’s Romeo and Juliet. A new film version. Based on the Yankees/Red Socks rivalry. It’s called Red Leather. It’s directed by David Lynch. And it goes something like this…
———————————————————
VOICEOVER (HARRY DEAN STANTON): Two clubs, alike in history…
–Cut to shot of a screaming fan being violently stabbed in the parking lot outside Fenway Park while rap music blares in the background. Cut to black.
VO: …in fair Boston, where we lay our scene…
ALEX RODRIGUEZ: “No sir, but I do kick sand, sir.”
———————————————————-
It’s going to be brilliant.
Or further evidence that bad ideas spring from procrastinating minds.
Which lucky baseball player gets to be Juliet?
Fictional manager's daughter? (must protect the identity and privacy of minors by not using real names, of course…)
This sounds familiar…
I know – bad me – I should put you and Mike in the credits as co-writers before I get rich off of it… 🙂
