Sangfroid!
I recently wrote a movie script dramatizing the creation of In Cold Blood, Truman Capote's masterpiece. I realize that this event has been well mined recently by the popular films Capote and Infamous, but I am not worried. My film, entitled Sangfroid!, is quite different from those films, and better. Here are some of the differences:
- Sangfroid! is a musical.
- In Sangfroid! the murders take place in exotic Paris, France, not in boring Kansas.
- In Sangfroid!, Capote is accompanied by the entire Rat Pack.
- In Sangfroid!, Capote has the powers of flight and x-ray vision.
- Like another extremely popular movie, Sangfroid! is entirely in Aramaic.
- At the end of Sangfroid!, Capote wakes up to discover that the whole movie was just a bad dream.

In Sangfroid, Helen Clutter, Smith and Hickock's last victim, is played by Robert Blake in drag.
In Sangfroid the soundtrack features selections by several artists including Swingin' Medalions, Kansas, Rick Derringer, and Peaches and Herb.

In Sangfroid! the winner of the Truman Capote Look-Alike Contest will be Truman Capote, playing the character he played when he won the Truman Capote Look-Alike Contest in Annie Hall. Totally PoMo. Runner-up will be David Hyde Pierce on his knees. EZ

Looks like it's time for a rewrite. Lots of very good ideas here.
