his
is a screenplay for a short film written by Matthew Reilly in 1999 (nearly
two years before Memento came out; so no accusations of rip-off).
Originally, Matthew intended to produce and direct it himself for a film
festival in Australia called Tropfest. But then Tropfest asked him to
write a 150-word short story for their programme and he felt that to enter
a film in the festival would then be a conflict of interest. So, instead,
Matthew used Rewind as the basis for the short story, which became
The Fate of Flight 700.
If any aspiring film-makers would like to make Rewind into a
short film, Matthew advises that they are welcome to do so -- on one
condition: that he gets to see a copy of the finished product!
