Hi Christian, I expect there will be a lot of sceptics... The project wouldn't be successful without them. I suspect you haven't been to the blog because it's simply a course of multiple choice questions in order to format the script then the subscribers get to choose from three possible candidates for each part of member of the cast etc. It's really quite simple.
As for the theme of the film (it's central issue), we are actually voting on that now. Why not subscribe and have your say? You'll see that there are three provocative choices to make. Also the dice man the book is all about leaving choice and decision to the roll of the dice. So all in all I don't identify with your scepticism and am sure that with a little more knowledge you'll feel more positive. Thanks for you comments.
