Jack Kirby, who's a Marvel Comics legend, he was the co-creator and illustrator of Captain America and the Fantastic Four, he'd been hired to do the concept art for this adaptation of Lord of Light.

Barry Geller, the producer who bought the rights, had even envisioned a theme park based on the film in Aurora, Colorado, which is going to be called Science Fiction Land.

What's the theme park?

Damascus Station, the theme park.

I start with a theme park and then the story just kind of gets built around it.

And there's concept art of what the theme park would look like.

And Barry Geller, when he was asked why it wasn't built, said it gives a whole bunch of reasons that he's basically like, it was going to cost a half billion dollars.

It was just going to, it was insane.

the art online.

It's quite amazing.

Now, the screenplay and the park had unfortunately, all of the financing for this had collapsed when Geller's business partner was indicted for embezzlement.

on the shelf and Chambers has copies of this at his home.

And he hands the stuff to Mendez and it's pretty – I would – we got to create a link to this at the show notes because the concept art is wild.

It's geographically ambiguous, I would say.
