In today's Daily Variety: <BR> <BR>Electric floats 'Noah's' pitch <BR>Devlin rains six figures on sci-fi actioner <BR>By CHARLES LYONS and CATHY DUNKLEY <BR>7/11/02 <BR> <BR>In a preemptive bid, Dean Devlin's Paramount-based Electric Entertainment has paid mid-six figures for "Noah," a sci-fi action pitch from writers Jan Skrentny and Neal Tabachnick. <BR> <BR>Precise storyline is being kept under wraps, but sci-fi actioner centers on a young scientist's battle for survival. <BR> <BR>"Jan and Neal have created something totally original with the concept for 'Noah,' " Devlin said. "The character of Noah becomes a sci-fi superhero, part comicbook, part everyman. The scope and energy of this potential franchise material makes it a perfect project for Electric Entertainment." <BR> <BR>The pitch was brought into Electric Entertainment by Electric's head of development Marc Roskin. The Writers & Artists-repped Skrentny and Tabachnick did rewrites on Par's "The Italian Job" and sold their script "Traces" to Sony. <BR> <BR>Devlin formed Electric last May, with a mind to develop and produce franchise-driven movies, television programs and interactive and music properties for the global audience.

This totally floors me. Talk about burning the candle at both ends. Not that I'm complaining, I've always admired Noah, and I think there's a very good possibility that his ark landed on Ararat. 8LF, ID2, The Carrier, Light of Peace.. Who decides when and in what order? <BR> <BR>Maybe there'll be lots of animals??

Someone pat Marc on the back (again). We're bound to in for another great story.

I know it's not gramatically correct, but I was told Marc didn't like bees.
