What will never be
I am in the middle of listening to this barn burner of a book called Going Clear by Lawrence Wright which is all about Scientology (and its ties to Hollywood). I'm about a third of the way the book, so L. Ron Hubbard is still alive and Scientology is just starting to gain steam. So far, there have been so many crazy stories in his life, like him kidnapping one of his own daughters, multiple marriage including as instance of bigamy, and the "mysterious" death of one of his sons (who was probably gay and probably committed suicide). Basically, it would be an amazing biopic (starring I think Daniel Day Lewis or some other actor that can really embrace the weird). But it will probably never happen (although I think Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master was supposed to be a fictionalized version of Scientology), which bums me out.
