John:
Face up to it...your movie, BATTLEFIELD EARTH is a huge flop. Capt. David Miscavige, the head of your beloved Church of Scientology has no choice but to DECLARE you a SUPPRESSIVE PERSON (SP). Besides all of the money that will be lost in the production of this clinker your 'Church' will not be getting the anticipated income from the sale of the TERL dolls. But worse than this, you have seriously invalidated L. Ron Hubbard, the Author of BE and Founder of Scientology. You have made Hubbard and Scientology a laughingstock and a subject of derision. This is a very,very big no-no.
John, your ETERNITY is now in serious jeopardy. As an SP you will not be able to avail yourself of L. Ron Hubbard's Golden Technology. You will be damned to lifetime after lifetime...trapped forever on this remote prison planet.
John , I have a plan for you and I humbly tender it to you as a gift. Make another movie , John , but this time tell the truth. Go for broke, John, get the best special effects people that money can buy and bring to the screen the true story of L. ron Hubbard's awesome cosmic discoveries. I guarantee that this will be a success.
You can call this science fiction but people will know it is truth when their past live memories kick in. Tell the story of how one man...the first human in history, discovered the awful truth of what happened 75 million years ago. Tell the story of How L. Ron Hubbard almost died trying to break through the 'WALL OF FIRE' and hwo the OT III Course came from this cosmic breakthrough.
Tell how the evil galactic Overlord, XENU, brought billions of people to this planet which was then called Teegeeack and dumped them in volcanoes and nuked them. Show how the spirits of these murdered billions were trapped electronically and subjected to 36 days of implanting. Show how these BODY THETANS (BTs) were clustered and are now attached to every human on earth. You can have a little scene which demonstrates how BTs cause all of Human's mental and physical problems. You can show how Xenu used evil galactic psychiatrists to set up a system of prison planets and Implant Stations which would entrap and enslave human beings lifetime after lifetime.
John, if you do this right with the right casting and special effects, this will be a smash hit. Show how Xenu's evil galactic psychiatrists control the IMPLANT STATIONS on MARS and VENUS and how they control the evil psychiatrists here on earth. Show how humans are programmed to return between-lives to the Implant Stations to be electronically zapped, reprogrammed and packed in ice cubes to be shipped back to earth by the evil galactic psychiatrists. Picture the stunning scene where fleets of flying saucers come in low over the oceans dumping their packaged thetans into the oceans where they are then on their own to find their way to a hospital where they can take over the body of a new baby. If this is done right, this can be one of the most powerful and poignant scenes ever filmed.
John, you must portray L. Ron Hubbard as the great hero and Humanitarian that he truly is. The casting here is vitally important. I at first thought of you as Hubbard but then I thought that you were perfect to portray the evil Xenu as you have had the right preparation in playing the evil Terl who , of course, is Hubbard's own creation.
You must play Xenu and put Cruise in As Hubbard. Color his hair A cheesy red, have him follow your diet to develop the proper paunch and have him smoke Kool cigarettes, non-stop. A word of caution, John...leave your wife out of this film. Put in more scientologists. Heber Jentzsch and Kendrick Moxon will make perfect evil psychiatrists.
For the final part of the movie you will have Cruise as Ron leading the LOYAL OFFICERS in a showdown galactic battle. Close the film with yourself/Xenu being locked up in an eternal electronic prison and Cruise/Hubbard smoking a Kool and gloating smugly at this victory...then segue to scenes of Hubbard breaking through the "WALL OF FIRE." and creating Dianetics and Scientology.
After the film ends then segue to yourself talking about Hubbard and his GOLDENT TECHNOLOGY which is available at any Scientology center and is the only hope that mankind has. Tell how Ron is off in another part of the Galaxy continuing his work to CLEAR the Galaxy. You can talk a little bit about BODY THETANS and how one can get rid them on the OT Courses. And you could finish by bringing out Heber Jentzsch who will babble on about how every person must do his or her duty to eradicate evil psychiatry from society. Heber is a good example of a Clear and OT Scientologist. Not that you aren't yourself, of course but Heber has a certain presence that is entertaining and people will relate to.
Here are a couple of possible titles: "XENU'S REVENGE" or "THE WALL OF FIRE."
If you do this right, John you will have an awesome hit and your SP DECLARE will be sure to be rescinded. Your ETERNITY will be ensured. the Church of Scientology's 8 million members will quickly swell to 80 million and the to 800 million and on. Think about this, John, as a Scientology FSM you will be entitled to a 10-15 % commission on all of these new members. As you well know from all of the people that you have lured into Scientology, these commissions add up.
Your friend, Roger Ebert.
