yourbestfiend, whose reposting of Werner Herzog's imaginary diary still has me laughing, I offer the following news item as potential material for his next film project:Three Mexican fishermen found drifting in the Pacific Ocean could have been lost for almost a year and two others were missing and presumed dead, the manager of a fishing company that rescued them said on Wednesday.But the director must not offer any part in the film to Tom Hanks as a precondition of my waving rights to the story's fictional recreation.
Early reports suggested the fishermen had been lost at sea for about three months and drifted more than 8,000 km (5,000 miles) before they were found by a Taiwanese tuna fishing trawler in waters between the Marshall Islands and Kiribati on August 9.
