I certainly think you'd make a perfect lead in this action-packed
film!! Playing opposite....? Harrison Ford? Johnny Depp? Harrison
Ford AND Johnny Depp ?!
It'll be a blockbuster! Bev and I will have to get to work on the
screenplay.

Would there be a CGI explosion of said coffin, with a computer effect

Then, racing against the time, the lecturer dashes out of the room
through a secret passage to (do what?)..
I imagine the lecturer would be dashing out of the room to avoid the
copyright police who had just arrived in a paddy wagon. In the case of my lecture,
The Laces of the Robber Barons, (I fancy myself playing the lead in this)
permission is only granted to show slides of lace in an "evanescent image". To
film the slides of the lace would take us into a whole new category of
negotiation with the rights holders, namely the museum. The IOLI receives special
low rates for publication of images because I always identify us as scholarly.
How interesting it would be to fill out a form for use of the image and
identify the use as "Blockbuster Movie".
My husband and I spend a lot of time watching educational TV in which Roman
ruins are explored, or, for instance, Meet the Ancestors where people are
exhumed from peat bogs, or perhaps there will be some scientist being sped on a
boat toward the ruins of the Colossus of Rhodes while giving a history of
it. I always wonder why there is never a educational type special about
textiles, even the history of costume. (There are several series about the history
of the gun.)
I think that a series in which a passionate lace scholar (I fancy myself in
this role) is raced about in two seater sports cars to places like the Lace
School in Le Puy and makes exciting discoveries, like the wedding gown of
Empress Josephine would be well-received. Don't you think so?
