Due
to its easily-copied surprise plot, the details of this hilarious comedy
project has to remain a closely guarded secret because Laszlo Hege, its
author, is reluctant to reveal it no matter how much we’re twisting his
arm.
All
we know is that Lunchtime in
L.A.
is an ensemble indie comedy about New York blacks, whites and Asians who
stop quarrelling with each other in order to form a team to pull off a big
one. . . Its heroes are a stuntman, a security guard and an unemployed
actor. There’s a “Queen” figure they’re all mad about, a former Russian
spy freshly metamorphosed into an “Italian model-ballerina”. She is a
calculating recent immigrant who becomes their mastermind. . . sort of.
There’s also sweet romance and true love with a baby on the way who
becomes more important with every passing day – even before he’s born –
until the big denouement.
Why
is it titled Lunchtime in
L.A.?
Well, when the team tries to pitch the Big Boys on the Coast with film
rights in mind, those people over there don’t care much, they’re always
unreachable, because it is always Lunchtime in L. A. Stay
tuned. |
