1956Alfred Gatzick had read the book AND the multiple scripts of "A Stone for Danny Fisher"...the book had been "hot"and several adaptations of it had been passed around and passed by Hollywood.Alfred Gatzick had asked his writers to make a few simple revisions to the plot....mainly to "Get rid of the Jew stuff"
according to A. Gatzick," first of all nobody will believe a Jew can box..
Also make it a musical ..as several so called Rock and Roll "stars" had recently been added to the roster of bankable commodities...
Eventually A. Gatzick sold the rights he had bought to another studio- who knew how to get "the Jew out"of the story...He himself had done all he could "to get the Jew out" of himself. Except when it served him. He had arranged dual citizenship to avoid paying certain taxes....He often referred to Israel - jokingly 'his withhold land".Gatzick knew how to chose a story. How to "see story' through another's eye...He often told a budding screenwriter that a good script required one to "spying on "the Mind's Eye" of an audience and give them both what they expect and what "they never
saw coming. Film making to Gatzick was all about deliberately using whatever deceptive devices one has acquired "seeing as another does" to "play" an audience .
1978
Alfred Gatzick 's son Neil...thought he was playing Gary Rainy when he agreed to sell a piece of his late father's studio to "The Church " of Neuronautics in return for agreeing that Rainy could control 1/4 th of the product the studio released as 1/4th of the product the studio produced was simply to bulk up and than debunk stock shares by timing release dates of predicated low box office with bi-quarterly financial "unpredictable" earnings. Gatzick knew Jews had very little to do with an organization that was not shy about it's stance on Jews being low on the Scale of Evolvement and was glad Neuronautics had by this time "functioned" and thrived under a variety of names so Gatzick felt comfortable he would not offend "the Jewish Community" that held him in such high regard.

"What the hell can I do with a "semi-fictional novel" about g-d damn synthetic telepathy and "invisible "nano chips?," the movie producer asked the 'who's -it"on the speaker phone(in his business unless "you had a name -you may as well have had No Name at all.
"On film it'll look like a whole bunch of schizophrenics walking around with fucking Voice Overs...I don't care if "it really happened or is happening ...we've already done our "arthouse" lot for the year"
The producer,Neil Gratzick thought for a moment .
and because Neil was so used to thinking in terms of PLACE ,TIME and UNIFORMITY of scene
Neil's inner monologue
often 'read" exactly like a shooting script
and
Because of this
Neil Gratzick thought,"We see Neil Gratzick from behind.
Neil is in a sparsely but expensively decorated expansive office.
A few framed movie posters and a mantle of Oscars suggest Neil Gatzick is no small player
in "The Film Industry"
From behind,Neil thinks, with Neil's balding pate that barely rises above the leather backing of his swivel chair that swivels and jolts like a jumpy leg emphasizing the
perhaps
booming
misinterpreted dict-ori-al tone( that early in his career Neil realized was the only tone
"outsider's" and "whose-its" responded to
as nearly everyone not in executive positions of the business of Entertainment
assumed they understood "what exactly made a movie MOVE." )
one might assume "this Neil Gatzick" was a parody of producer.A man we might assume of assumed poses and "stolen sketches" of long ago Goldwyn Mayer/Selznick cigar huff and puff.
But when we see the swivel chair revolve and
CLOSE UP on Neil Gatzick's hard won lines of thoughtfulness and concern
imprinted on Neil's 62 year old ruddy face
and TILT DOWN to a book entitled
"Unwanted Interface;Targeted Individuals and Human Experimentation-a semi fictitious novel
and hear the pause of thought before Neil suggests
"How about we include some nano chips that also make their bodies change shape-The Wolfman meets Invasion of The Body Snatchers meets MK Ultra "Pliant-ology shit?"
We realize we are dealing with
a man of intellect and empathy.
a TIGHT SHOT of a speaker that implies "phone"introduces us to what we might rightly presume is the author's agent and mouth piece
we hear the "whose-it" say -
"the author said specifically he did not want his book Jonny Depp-ed or X-Men-ed into incredulousness...The author believes that that is one of the problems with Hollywood ,"the cheapening of the horror of these Advanced technologies with car chases and -"
'If," Neil Gatzick says," the semi fictional "story" is so important ,than why haven't I heard about Human Experiments with Mind to Mind Interface?
In Neil Gatzick's mind Neil sees his minor interest in the "semi -story" wane,the semi fictional "novel' his wife's lover had lent him telling him ,"it was so disturbing to him he was forced to give up weed for 4 days."
"it won't play," Gatzick said ,"not without a visual angle....Shape shifting or some shit like that..Did you see "The Host" why that poor actress looked more like she belonged in "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" and "The Host" was NO TWILIGHT" at the box office...Remember "Teen Wolf" ...now NOBODY thought Teen Wolf would do as well as it did ,did they"
No Name on the speaker phone seemed to plead,"The book is about unsolicited Human Testing with Psychotronic weap-..."
"Get back to me when this Unsolicited Human Testing is Trending or when this Ner' do well/never heard of him NUTJOB agrees to at least consider that these 'so called" nanochips that supposedly enable another to read and project upon another's mind couldn't also do something cinematic to their bodies...Besides.
IF "some agency" is indeed doing this Testing
I can guarantee they'd want "the story" Jonny Depp-ed to the gills.
Neil Gatzick
of course
knew all about "synthetic telepathy"
and
Straight to Mind "Tele-Presence"
and the necessary Brain Computer Interface
that let
a "headhunter"
be able to Feel.Taste Hear and See
via
another's temporal lobe
and such.
In the late 1990's the movie studio
had agreed to "test the techno"
and "lend out" some of it's best screenwriters to
certain "agencies" to practice
both "scaring some sense " or "senselessness "upon another
wirelessly
in exchange for certain rights and privileges concerning developing the technology for purely consumer reasons.
Neil asked his secretary to hold all calls
he needed a "breather"-a diversion
Neil turned on the special modem that allowed him access to
"some male hustler Methfreak"one of his assistants had 'app-ed" on Santa Monica Blvd.
Upon placing the headset on his skull and temples
Neil felt the meth tingle his nasal cavity
and the rush that soon followed
and best of all
the cock in his mouth
through
Proxy

Unfortunately
"the kid" didn't swallow.
but
"it was enough"for Neil to sense
a bit of
jism on his cheeks
...
the feeling so real
Neil instinctively reached for a Kleenex.
Signals
of methamphetamine
still
in Neil 'synapses
Neil removed the book about "things one does not dare speak of let alone write about"
from the trashcan
he had tossed it in
before going "mobile"
with "the Kid"
The book so disturbed Neil Gatzick that he
reached out again for the headset
hoping for another "hit"
but instead Neil
paged through "the diatribe"
that had somehow bypassed most channels of publishing that would have at the very least presented
"the story"
with a dust jacket that presumed
upon the it
a questionable reliability and Plausible Deniability
A pyramid with an eye in it,a UFO ...some 1960's 'wavy-gravy" typography
instead of a book jacket sleek and stern
in it's merit
with no "tin foil hat"connotations whatsoever.
Even the photo of the author, in suit and tie made the book formidable.
The author ,Neil Gatzick was well aware of..
the this -"the kid" had come
to Hollywood 2 decades ago to be an actor
but was mistakenly "taken " for a transient because oif his 'down on his luck" choice of hotel
and his "Grunge Thing".
that made
him 'seem right for procure-met"at the time
"The Author" was
one of the first to be "app-ed"but offered absolutely to "The Project "but casting calls and script memorization
a horrible Mistake of Mistaken "presumed" inner identity
as nothing was more boring to Hollywood
(AND the various agencies
that loaned the studio the equipment
who desperately wanted and NEEDED
the contract)
than
a
"wanna be actor"
Several "well placed men"took the than "kid"
under their wing suggesting that "many a movie idol" got their start
in Pornography
but
The Son of a Bitch,it seemed was 'too good' for porn.Too good for cocaine and the wads of hundred dollar bills
that would have bank rolled his Method Acting Lessons
he chose to subsidize with a job in a hardware store.
not quite what made for an "escapist" Brain Computer Interface
as he was presumed to be a transient
and to Emit all the Vivid-ousity of Teenage Dirtbag
"The Boy "put the "B" in Boring
and the bid and contract on BCI R and D was given to Parasol Pictures
as not even the "Good Will Hunting Types"at certain agencies 'could take"
a 24/7 Mind to Mind with
the than mis- christened "Choirboy"
subsequently a rather complex interface was conducted on "Jonny Olson"
involving a reformatted version of a
rather too complex screenplay in the studio's library of un-producible screenplays
that involved the antichrist
reformatted as
Voice to Skull the assumption
was it would drive the lad out of his mind and hopefully out a window
Who realized the "choirboy " was a Jew
whose capacity to "buy "the devil in cranium"was
limited
Just the same the "kid" was driven to near madness
in return for his "lack of return" of Mature Audience content
-Unlike "the Methfreak who intrinsically seemed to know
what Mind to Mind was for,thought Neil Gatzick reaching for the headset
and a Kleenex.

Valerie Prentis read and re -read the latest screenwriter's "new take" on the upcoming remake of "King Creole".In the new version of the story
the impetus of Danny Fisher's skill's are shifted from singing to pontification, Adam Parker, would of course play Fisher...
Valerie Prentis, head of Parasol Pictures new Immersive Reality Department (the film would be made in 2 formats) explained to the writers
she wanted "Mein Kamf" meets "A Star is Born" meets "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington"-
Is that so difficult ," she boomed at the writers so hesitant to introduce aspects of Trugenics and Neuronautics based on the reading and transcription of brain signals-
How she hated dealing with those who were afraid
to
truly adhere to the New Standards of
"The New Way"
Valerie tried to soften her wants for the team of writers
by stating
"That Jewie Thinking....wasn't so much a Jew Thing but a way of Thought Style that is Self Referential Intellectualism
with a either an intercepted nor incepted 5 sense interface
Danny ,a handsome charismatic man in his late 40's works as a Greeter in an Annex of his local chapter of Neuronautics one night when a seminar speaker gets ill,Danny gets a chance to lecture on "The New Way" as instlled upon him by the course Danny has taken as a Neuronaut. Success is imminent and the Neuronautic Administrators cannot help but take notice and decide to groom Danny to be a leader ,a speaker and symbol of "The New Way"

Plot summary
In the mid-1920s, a young Danny Fisher and his family move into a new house in a Brooklyn suburb. Within a few years, however, the Great Depression hits and Danny is forced to use his one talent, boxing, as a means of supporting his family.After a few years, the family have lost their house and are living in a mean apartment in the City. Danny continues to box, much against his father's wish, and dates a young Italian Catholic girl, Nellie Petito, much to the chagrin of his mother. Danny's boxing skills attract the attention of hoodlums, and he is offered a large sum of money to throw the Golden Gloves championship, a fight he could win easily and which would bring him professional fame as well as, he hopes, his father's acceptance.
Danny accepts the bribe but beats his opponent. After going on the run for a two years in Coney Island he returns to marry his sweetheart. Their early married life is marred by the death of their first-born child Vicky, in poverty.
Danny seeks out his former manager and goes into business with him as a black marketeer. This activity brings him into contact with the very criminals he previously cheated.
The story concludes with Danny's death in counterpoint to arrival of new life.
The novel was adapted by screenwriters Herbert Baker and Michael V. Gazzo as the 1958 movie King Creole for Elvis Presley, co-starring Walter Matthau and Carolyn Jones and directed by Michael Curtiz, which was loosely based on the novel.
King Creole (1958)
