Why the Wachowski's Should Turn Second Thunder Into A Movie

The Wachowski's would be the most skilled to make a movie about this book because it is:

• A story that operates on multiple levels.
• A book that can be read as a fantasy adventure, but also as a hidden history of mankind, and even as a human's quest and path to higher consciousness.
• A book that messes with our linear way of thinking, and introduces the idea of multidimensional reality, in which there are layers within layers of realities that can be experienced simultaneously.
• Entire lifetimes experienced in one frozen instant of time.
• In general, a novel that hints to the fact that there's so much more to Life, than what our minds are used to – boundaries and limitations – that we can actually experience in every day living.

Like MSI in Second Thunder, the Wachowski's have chosen daring stories for their movies – stories portraying the prisons of our minds, when we choose to believe in illusions of limitations; portraying boundaries, which the outer authority figures help to set up and maintain, and then exploit for their own benefit; and portraying heroes, who see behind the veils of deception, thus choosing to take on enlightening mankind, as their purpose of life.

The Wachowski's also show in the film Cloud Atlas, that they have been willing and able to tackle the challenge of picturing a soul’s quest through multiple lifetimes in such a way, that it even gives the impression that all of the lifetimes are happening simultaneously.
These are some of the reasons why I see the Wachowski's to be the ones turning Second Thunder into a movie. They would have the vision required to turn a book that works in multiple levels like Second Thunder into an uncompromised movie – one that not only touches the minds of those seeking colorful adventures of fantasy and science fiction, but also the hearts of those who seek deeper meaning and wisdom of Life.

And I'm sure it would be a movie that does not give the answers but rather raise questions, creates conversations and theories, and inspires people to turn within and find their own answers to what Second Thunder is all about. And to watch the movie again, and again, and again…
