But thought I would just share the email conversation I have just had with Ben because it made me giggle this morning..

It all started because Ben sent me an email bemoaning the fact one of his friends had just got to see Nick Cave play live when he had turned up as a special guest at the recent Primal Scream gig in London. Being the smug git that I am, I responded:
Me: *does the dance of going to see Nick Cave in November*
Ben: BASTARD
Me: *pets the Ben*
Ben: *turns and bites the Em that pets him*
Me: Kinky! *pets the Ben again*
Ben: *snaps, turns and savages the Em with big bitey teeth, then wanders the moors of Hampshire in perpetuity giving rise to strange myths about feral gothboys roaming at moonlight*
Me: *realises she has been bitten by a were-goth and angsts about it*
Ben: *realises he has bitten a kinkfic-goth, who is angsting about it. Angsts about it*
Me: *stops angsting and writes slash story involving DeathonaHorse!Methos and a were-goth boy, manacles and ring gags. Posts story on internet to vast acclaim and/or death threats and flames. Gets into huge meta argument about whether Methos would be attracted to goths*
Ben: *carries on angsting for a bit, realises kinkfic-goth has stopped angsting and has written slash story involving him and Deathonahorse!Methos and posted story on internet to vast acclaim and/or death threats and flames.
After reading story, rewrites story as screenplay, changing gender of were-goth boy, and has purchased by P/D as latest in trend of movies merging characters from terminal franchises: Highlander vs. Underworld.
Resulting film makes vast quantities of moolah, were-goth boy gains new career in movies, Wingfield becomes ultrastar and invades Poland for a place to keep all his NEW CARS AND STUFF, kinkfic-goth attempts to cash in by suing were-goth boy for nicking her original story, were-goth boy incredulously points out irony in kinkfic-goth making an issue out of intellectual property rights, but buys her a nice new pair of boots to make up for it anyway because he is a NICENICE were-goth boy and then bites her again because she tastes good YUM*
The opening line of the next instalment will, of course, be:
*In quest for more space Wingfield starts ill-advised land war in Asia..*
*grins* Ben and I will be appearing at An Audience With Peter Wingfield very shortly. At some point I shall get him to write something with me.
Be afraid.
..Sonia. I am writing. Don't beat me too hard!

Hmmm...
On the one hand: probably not. As far as the Highlander franchise is concerned, P/D are control freaks with no plan for the future, which is a horrific combination. Underworld didn't even make it to a sequel, and I have no idea whether it succumbed to the White Wolf litigation or not, so the property may not even be available.
On the other hand: (hear the grinding noise as the fanboy cogs kick in) Immortals, vampires and werewolves! This could be the best film ever made!
