"And next time you are having lunch...Hi Erik,<br /><br />"And next time you are having lunch with your favorite Hollywod producer, be sure to pitch Isaac Newton as an ideal subject for the next historical action thriller."<br /><br />I have just been catching up with the last few Math Mutation episodes and I heard this one. When it started, I assumed you were going to refer to a news story from June about a proposed movie with Isaac Newton as the hero, but this closing line made me realise you weren't aware of it. <br /><br />We covered the story on the <a href="http://www.pulse-project.org/node/440" rel="nofollow">Math/Maths Podcast episode 102: Turing, mad scientist & Newton, action hero</a>. Apparently Rob Cohen is working on a screenplay based on Newton's role at the Royal Mint. It sounds like it is planned to be a historical action/detective franchise. Of course, you never know if these things will come to fruition, but I thought you would be pleased to hear that your idea was being taken seriously! <br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Peter.Peter Rowletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352923128514059385noreply@blogger.com
