Solo Teen Sailor Has Screenwriter Hooked

Abby Sunderland has been rescued from the Indian Ocean, five months after she set off from Marina del Ray, CA.  The 16 year-old won't fulfill her ambition to become the youngest ever to solo the world in a really nice dingy, beating her brother's record of 17.  But you know she will get a lot farther than her stinky brother in Hollywood.

Loyal types have suggested Megan Fox as Abby, but other think Megan too old or too yesterday.  Taylor Momsen, Little J of  "Gossip Girl" is a natural, assuming she can swim one-tenth as well as she can act or sing.

For product placement purposes, the film will have Abby sail off from the Cheesecake Factory in Marina Del Ray. And because a screenwriter reports they have really good Kobe Burgers.  The Japanese not the Laker.

The most important part, finding that screenwriter, has been taken care of.  Part of the script is actually already written, especially for Morgan Freeman as the Captain of the Quantas Airbus A330 search plane.  An excerpt was stolen minutes ago.

Ext. Plane flying low over the Indian Ocean.  DAY


Int.  Cockpit  DAY
Three men cram the cockpit, desperately searching for the tiny sailboat...


          SCATTY (off screen)
The fuel lines!  They're ruptured!  One more minute, Captain, and the engines will stop!


          DR. BANES
Bad time of year to scuttle anything but an American-made Boeing in the damned Indian Ocean, Jim.


          FIRST OFFICER SPACK
A330's are not designed well for such a rough Ocean, Captain.


          SCATTY (off screen)
Did I say a minute?  I meant ten seconds!  Ago!


          CAPTAIN (in God's voice, American-Australian Accent)
Restart engines.


Engines, ignoring their severed fuel lines roar into action.


          CAPTAIN (same voice, More American Accent now)
Find me that little girl.  Before the French do.

Now, Abby, aside from formatting, is a rewrite even necessary?
