Tony Scott Directing Don Aronow Biopic
Dramatizing the life and death of the Speedboat King.
Tony Scott and Fox 2000 are teaming up to bring the life of Don Aronow to the screen.
Who's Don Aronow, you ask? ComingSoon has the answers you seek:
Aronow was a self-made millionaire businessman and powerboat racing's world champ for 10 straight years. His cigarette boat became a favorite of Colombian drug smugglers looking to import their product into Miami in the 1980s. Aronow got a $20 million contract to build boats for U.S. Customs agents to catch the smugglers. He was eventually gunned down in 1987 in a mob-style hit in Miami.
In other words: No Don Aronow, no Miami Vice.
Before tackling the Aronow biopic -- which he'll direct from a script by Michael Lerner -- Scott will finish his Denzel Washington-led remake of The Taking of Pelham 123.

on Oct 17 2007 06:18 AM Never mind a boring biopic about Don Aronow! I wish someone would instead make a movie about a millionaire speedboat racer who was taken out by a hitman in Miami in 1987. (Reply to this) |

on Oct 18 2007 01:34 PM I see only wise men here... so wise that they don't need to think. Also, I see trendy speaking about Scott's crappy work. Is it as very popular as "save the planet" idea now? Everybody repeats the same thing after critics but there is long way to be a humble. So, boys... go back to watch deep and ambitious Bergman's movies and leave free place in the cinema for somebody else. I hope it's not a virus guys, only wish to be a smart. (Reply to this) |

on Oct 18 2007 10:02 PM This movie sounds great. Denzel does Tony Scott for a reason, because there bada$$. He's one of the few directs that can create a different style with each movie. Who doesn't love Top Gun and Days of Thunder was sick. Spy Game was incredible and Man on Fire was unreal. I registered just to post this comment and stick up for my favorite director Tony Scott. sCoTt FrEe! (Reply to this) |

on Jan 06 2009 05:10 AM Runescape Coins (also known as Runescape Gold, gold pieces, or gp) are the most common form of currency in RuneScape. They can be used to represent the value of virtually every single item in the game, as well as various services offered throughout. In RuneScape, coins appear as small gold coins, also noted by some people that they look like nuggets, roughly cylindrical, and are stackable. Buy Runescape GoldFor more information on the mechanics of stackable items in RuneScape, see stackable items. In Grim Tales, it was revealed that coins have more intricate designs imprinted on their faces, although they usually appear small, making it difficult for players to notice it. According to Saradomin, runescape gold are minted by the Fief. He doesn't give more detail as to who or what the Fief is, but judging from the meaning of "fief" it is likely to be one of the human kingdoms (i.e. Misthalin). Not surprisingly, alchemy spells cannot be cast on coins. If a player attempts it, a message will inform the player that Runescape Coin are already made of gold.... You can, however, turn other gold items such as Gold ore and Gold bars into coins using alchemy spells. (Reply to this) |
