Aspiring Book Authors - Novelists $12.4M.
Even film-makers or perhaps in today's understanding -- YOU-Tube video creators!
What are the chances that your work could be the next big Box Office hit raking in $12.4 million worth of proceeds or even more in today's dollars?
Does anyone recall the Box Office hit that made millions of dollars based upon a book written by Michael Crichton (1942-2008)?
He was a very handsome film producer/director, screenwriter and author who's net worth was estimated to have been $175 million when he passed away in 2008.
Impressive!
Well, we're giving him a nod today as his box office hit based upon his techno-thriller, The Andromeda Strain, was published in 1969 and the 50th anniversary was celebrated just last year in 2019.
Of course, the thread of the story involves a group of smart, elite scientists (or perhaps 'mad' scientists might be more apt) who attempt to contain a deadly virus from outer space left by aliens -- the virus was observed to actually GROW! ...
Was this a coincidence?
uhm -- what do you think? .....
All to say, fuel and spark your creativity in building the next big 'block-buster!'
And yes, you can do this!
Appreciate you all being here and thanks for your reading interest ....

Michael Crichton was very talented. Was that his first book? Hard to believe it's been 50 years.
*** Yup ... yes, an amazing talent ... and what creativity ... how quickly time goes when one is having fun, eh?! ...
thanks kindly for reading ... ⭐️🏆⭐️ ... :) ***
This is world class comparison, Keisha. The top 5% I guess. Motivation for all novelist. I am not a novelist so gotta look elsewhere.
... yes, i found it rather interesting and noteworthy ... here's someone that wrote a sci-fi / techno-thriller some 50+ years ago and now the story-line is seemingly being played out on the world stage? ...
... uhm .. coincidence or what? ... any guesses? ...
Maybe supply and demand and also movie making technology that make it more realistic like Marvel comics.
It's a coincidence but he had laid something that could possibly come. The only thing I wouldn't accept is all about aliens.
... yes, it's interesting that he wrote about well over 50+ years ago .. and now what's happening today? ... uhm ...

Hello,
good post and great point and question!
well is been in my mind for many years, that eventually, we will have carried back to Earth a microorganism that will have taken over our world! ( like in shown in many movies one that I liked and was even funny at times was the Blob! released the year 1958 and a new version in the Year 1988, or the famous Movie The Thing, and so on, now I'm sure that how scientists will not in any way just bring back to Earth Biological different Microbes, germs, bacterias, microorganism and make test over a test and mixing with various of our own soup!
But then again:
These are the ones that are promising Immortality!
for who can afford to buy it and sponsor such Scientific Researches!
and they do:
more sampler and more tests, more research and we get a bit closer .....( to What? )
and so:
they have white papers or hidden agendas, that not every human will be happy to know about or it's and it's all classified
But for now, I'm trying to believe and write another version of the happening in today's World!
Have a good day

it materializes into reality!!!
haha ah ah! I'm kidding:o)

You are always kind
