He's written a number of screenplays and stage plays, all concerning vampires. He also had a band in the 80s called "Fang". Anyway, this one screenplay he submitted to New Line was about Vampires and Lesbian Witches. I never actually read the script, but suffice it to say it sounded fairly cheesey (and fun): Vampire somehow gets on the bad side of a coven of witches, they spend most of the movie trying to kill him, he is finally victorious, etc. The woman at New Line who rejected the script was a Wiccan, and wrote a lenghty rejection letter, telling my friend how fucked up he was for trying to spread false stereotypes! The great irony, of course, is that at the end of the letter, she puts a curse on him (even tho' it's against her principles, it's for the "greater good" was her justification). I'm certain I could get a copy of the script from him if anyone wanted to help me translated it. We could make a bangin' movie about vampiros y brujas.

Although the reason lesbian assassins usually die in the end has more to do with their being evil than their 'otherness' in my opinion. Either way, though, it's a friggin' shame. Because if there's one thing this world could use more of, it's lesbian assassins. Hilarious.

Ex-KGB dike copkillahs for example. And don't forget to work in "rug muncher" somewhere in the dialog.
