What if a stake film crew goes to a Middle Eastern country to rescue people being held there?

And I...Oh, I love the "what if" game! :)<br /><br />And I think they sometimes point to an author's theme. I tend to love the kind of movies and books that band together misfits who would never be friends (as in Pirates of the Caribbean or Lord of the Rings), so some of my favorite what ifs revolve around "what if so-and-so and such-and-such, who can't stand each other, must work together to (fill in the blank)?" Another theme I love: "What if her weakness, the thing he/she hates most about herself, is the very thing that will save him?" Those make for very interesting twists. :)Anne Marie Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603878676306179018noreply@blogger.com
