Indian billionaire Anil Ambani has announced a series of Hollywood deals worth $1 billion, the biggest ‘invasion’ by an Indian company to date. His entertainment studio Reliance Big has made deals with production companies of people like Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Nicolas Cage. Ambani expects to generate 30 scripts, with about 10 movies going into production.

India still has one of the fastest growing film markets. And while they sell twice as many tickets as in Hollywood, the low prices keep the Indian companies from making ‘Hollywood money.’ But the market is growing fast. It grew 25% in 2007 compared to 2006 and is expected to grow 18% per year the next five years. This is why studios like Disney are already setting foot in Bollywood, before it will take over Hollywood as the number one market.

How can a movie with the title ‘Men Who Stare at Goats’ turn into something bad? By adding George Clooney to the cast? I don’t think so. By letting Grant Heslov (’Good Night, and Good Luck’) write the script? Not in my opinion. Both are respectable guys. But what about a story which revolves around an US army unit that was to use paranormal powers to defeat their enemies. I don’t know, maybe.

It apparently topped a list of best unproduced scripts around in 2007. I don’t know if that’s something to be proud of either. That’s like saying you were the best of the people who didn’t make it. The script’s title is based on the idea you could kill a goat by staring at it. What’s so strange about that? Isn’t it the first trick you learn as a farmer? No? You think it’s time for me to go to bed now? I agree.. Later guys.
