They had a feature movie 5 years ago taken right off the History channel (the Nazi Channel Tracy Ullmann calls it) about the top Nazi sniper up against Jude Law he never had a chance. They'd just past a law in Hollywood said Jude law had to be in any film of any consequence made for the next ten years. They had to keep him alive. The Jude Law law. But a Viet Nam setting could make for a very interesting story setting along those lines. I really had a long talk over several coffees with a special forces sniper guy who told me stuff I'd be embarrassed to repeat is it sounds phantasmagorical. About cross bows and holograms. They'd spend months in the same tree never making a move. He could have been foolin me. Maybe Kubrick did it with Full Metal Jacket at the end. With the sniper being (surprise!) a gal. I'm now going to press SEND ALL And see all tell all. This should pare down all the posts by about 90 percent. Mark Rabiner New York, NY 40?47'59.79"N 73?57'32.37"W markrabiner.com
