Coming to a theater near you, Premium Rush is an example of how the Hollywood fates can toy with an author years after publication. Joe Quick's story itself would make a great thriller.
Also, there was a Kevin Bacon version in 1986 called Quicksilver with a similar story line.
So, what should I do with my novel with the same plot, different city, mob villains? I swear I had no idea any of these existed. My concept originated in 2009, and as it's unpublished and unsubbed, I could of course change my guy from a bike messenger to a boy scout, but something goes missing there.
Maybe make him a zen master disguised as a punk rocker?
Sheesh!
