Dreaming of a new movie on Alienor of Aquitania, Richard Lionheart & Lakshmi, India moviestars
There was a wave of inspiration during my research in the south west of France, last few years. I was writing a followup novel on the history of the descendants of Guilhaume d'Orange (the one from the time of Charles the Great) Suddenly all signs led to INDIA. To Bollywood and even the KING of Bollywood ShaRukhKhan
I was completely surprised, for I did not know him and I did not know about his work, but it was as if someone tapped me on the shoulder. I had to watch his works and his life. I was flabbergasted, to be honest. Amazed that there is such a division of cultural worlds.
Coming home I knew I had to write. It became a moviescript. Working title: Elegancy despite times of (religious) wars. I worked on it very, very hard. Inspiration is one thing, but it takes a lot of effort to really get it right in a manuscript. I am almost finished and also curiously waiting where or what my inner guidance will lead me to.
