Well, it’s finally happened: [movie makers plan to make a thriller based on the MH370](http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/19/business/cannes-MH370/index.html?iid=article_sidebar). Apparently it relates to an “investigative report by a journalist which was rejected by the media so it is definitely controversial.”

Considering that some ideas considered involved the plane disappearing into a black hole, I’m having trouble imagining just how “controversial” this must be.

The movie will go belly-up when the plane is found _not_ on Mt Ararat or in an underwater Illuminati hanger or something.
