No special effects???
How about the target range in the basement? That could be a whole opening sequence.

No, no. I put that whole book into a movie in my head years ago. The opening scene has to be a slow pan across a Civil War battlefield, ending with Enoch Wallace's face. |
My main point was that you could only do the target range sequence with special effects, and you
have to include the target range.
In your movie then, would the second scene be him picking up his mail after a modern postal truck delivers it?
It's been a long time since I read this book. Sometimes I get parts of it mixed up in my head with "The Big Back Yard" (I think that's the title)[/quote][/i]
