Not quite. But maybe.
George Clooney’s production company Smokehouse Entertainment is working on a movie entitled Escape From Tehran, documenting the true story of how the CIA used a fake movie project to smuggle hostages out of 1979 Tehran. What does this have to do with comics legend Jack Kirby? Jack Kirby did the storyboards for this faux movie.
Back in 2005, Wired Magazine did an article about it which you can read in full at their website. Long story short, Kirby did storyboards for a prospective movie based on the Rogr Zelazny novel entitled Lord of Light. It also chronicles attempts to make a Colorado theme park entitled “Science Fiction Land” based on Kirby’s set designs for the movie.
Sadly, the movie and the theme park were never made — but work from it was used as part of the subterfuge by the CIA against Iran.
This story, and the larger one about Tehran would make good movie magic. Let’s hope they have room for Kirby in there somewhere.

I’m fairly sure Lisa Kirby would have a conniption if that happened.
Still, anyone know if Neal Kirby looks anything like his old man?

Why have images be ‘clickable” if they don’t open in a larger size?

I think George looks sooooooooo sexy……….I’m just glad I didn’t get out of my car when he was at my stop sign way out in the country and scream, Stop George I know you,I love you big guy the way that lady in Italy did. That would be funny, and he has a really cute grin. But I would have been soooooo embarrassed! Of course, nobody has ever died of embarrassment, and maybe I could have caught him! Hmmmmmmmmm!! Hey George, How fast can you Pedal that bike? I’m am getting myself in shape just for YOU! COME BACK!!!!! Remember, Statesville N.C. Its not like my reputation isn’t ruined any way, and I think I should do something to deserve it…….I haven’t had any fun since 1992. Thats a long time…….I’m picky, and I’ve picked you! Like older women George? I guess you wouldn’t know, now would you? I’m not your mother though George, don’t expect to be treated like her either.
to young to be your mother, old enough to be your sister, but not interested in being treated like your sister……You need someone as loyal as Max….I’ll wear lipstick (but not plastered all over my cute little face(beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and I’m sure someone out there looks worse than me). Besides if you don’t like my looks you can hire someone to change them……LOL

To answer Alexa – many people say I look a lot like my father, especially the older I get (61).

These youthfuljordan retros females share a frequentjordan fusions attribute: red gown, aged 25 many years or younger. Local temporary panic, youthful ladies didn’t dare to go out wearing a red jacket.
