    Johnny Got His Gun

    I'm sure many of you Metallica fans will remember the title of this film. It looks like they are making a newer version of this one, and I for one don't think they should, as the first one was way too intense a film, there is no way they could make a more powerful version than the original. And from the trailer, looks pretty stupid. God I hope the actual film isn't all about this kid in his mind.

    Greenwood Hill Productions presents Ben McKenzie (Gotham, Southland, The O.C., Junebug) performing the award-winning Off-Broadway stage monologue “Johnny Got His Gun,” written by playwright Bradley Rand Smith and adapted from Dalton Trumbo’s acclaimed anti-war novel. The story takes place in the mind of an American soldier hit by an artillery shell on the last day of WWI; a quadruple amputee who has also lost his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Regaining consciousness, Joe Bonham discovers that while his brain is healthy and able to reason, the rest of his body is irreparably shattered, leaving him trapped forever within the confines of his own imagination. He struggles to find some way to communicate with the outside world. Tapping his head in Morse code, he breaks through and pleads with his caretakers to be put on display as a living example of the cost of war.
