Mike Le & Tokyo Suckerpunch

Mike Le wrote Tokyo Suckpunch and don't you forget it!

I got an e-mail from my friend Mike Le on Monday. It was the first time I had heard from him in several years. Apparently he had seen my blog postings that linked to the student films that he, Rob McKittrick and I shot together back in 1995.

In my description of our documentary master work "Generation Ecstacy," I failed to mention his most recent credentials. Mike has written the screenplay for "Tokyo Suckerpunch" for Fox Searchlight. I didn't get much info from Mike about the film other than it is a "thriller"; however, you can check out more about the book on which the film is based here.

So my loyal reader(s), if you ever run into Mike and you mention that you know me, please refer to him as "the Mike Le who wrote 'Tokyo Suckerpunch' for Fox Searchlight." I've even changed the original post to reflect this recently acquired info.

Maybe he'll fill me in on the film now that I've made things right... or did I just make them worse?
