The article about Brooke is fairly long and I couldn't condense all of it, but yes, they do mention her brain development: ""There've been very minimal changes in Brooke's brain," Walker said. "Various parts of her body, rather than all being at the same stage, seem to be disconnected.""<br /><br />He says that after describing how her bone age is thought to be 10 years old, even though she still has her baby teeth. And her mom claims she's "just like a woman" because she loves to shop.<br /><br />It's pretty fascinating and although I'm sensitive to the possibility of exploitation here I don't think that's what's happening. And again, a movie wouldn't be about her, but a character or story could be inspired by this mystery.<br /><br />I also like the possibility of an object or artifact stranded in time. Chances are this wallet story would be turned into a really stupid horror movie, but I like the idea of playing with memory/mystery and piecing clues together.<br /><br />Ha, and don't get me started again on <a href="http://getafilm.blogspot.com/2009/06/hijacked-creativity-taking-and-remaking.html" rel="nofollow">remakes</a>...it's not even like they have to use these Reel Life stories, either (though <a href="http://www.brinkof30.com/2009/05/project-memory/" rel="nofollow">Evan Derrick</a> already has started) - there's plenty of room for just creating new, original material not based on real life. But it takes so much work to package and market it that they give up before they begin.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435253058176416288.post-63057232553007928912009-07-27T19:16:43.843-05:002009-07-27T19:16:43.843-05:00Wow!

I wonder if they can determine whether or not her brain is more advanced than 16-months. <br /><br />I also love the story about the wallet. I love the implacable nature of an inanimate object to stay where it's been put unless something moves it.<br /><br />With all the Reel Life stories out there, it would seem easy to come up with an original movie idea - and yet we get so many sequels or rehashings of the same old stories.Richard Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397053921647421425noreply@blogger.com
