Feb 23 2006Thornton to Get Stuck in Cave

thorntoncave.jpgBilly Bob Thornton is on-board to write, direct, and star in a drama telling the true story of Floyd Collins, an explorer who became trapped in Kentucky's Sand Cave in 1925, creating a 13-day media circus that ultimately ended in his death. As soon as I heard this movie involved exploring a cave, I said, "Come on, haven't we all seen The Goonies?" Then I read on and realized it was nothing at all like The Goonies, except possibly that it involves a cavern, so I had to start going around asking people if they really had seen The Goonies, so it wouldn't seem like I thought this movie sounded like that.

Maybe he will be attacked by some unknown species of creature that can only survive in the dark. That'd be completely original!

It IS the Goonies. This dude is Chester Copperpot.

This sounds like a remake of a great Billy Wilder/Kirk Douglas film called 'Ace in the Hole', also released as 'The Big Carnival'.

There's already a Musical on Floyd Collins.

This movie is going to be atrocious compared to it. Billy Bob Thorton is NOWHERE near the actor he would need to be to portray Floyd.

And this is not the Goonies. Its a tragedy- the guy dies trapped in a cave because people were to busy making money off of him.

The subject matter alone should make for a good movie.
