I've had an idea for many years about finding a Vietnam Vet who was living in a monastery in Thailand for the past 50 years, became a kung-fu master and is brought back to the inner city, helping different people (young and old) with his philosophy and kicking some booty, too. "Kung Fu in the modern inner city." You got kung-fu, you got Zen, you got drugs and gangs. That would be a good year-long film project in Everest.

That’s a good one! For him being brought back, could some Americans who’ve branded him a traitor disrupt his tranquil monastery life and destroy everything he holds sacred, then put him in an American inner-city prison, which is how he ends up there? He would escape, and bloom where he’s planted, saving regular people from drug lords, gangs, and such, redeeming himself in the eyes of the authorities.
