Synopsis: The twists in Jack's life are as unique as his methods of killing and his ability to stymie the police.

After each killing he bundles things he used or touched, and throws the bundle into a body of water with a weight inside to keep it submerged. He is consumed with so much hatred and desire for revenge that he chokes with his hands, strangles with strings of thin wire, crushes skulls with a rock and hammer, and shoots his pistol through a ninety year old woman's ear. He demonstrates other sadistic acts such as driving an iron spike up an anus until feces come out,and by making a sister of one of his targets for murder perform oral sex on him, then he leaves samples of the feces and semen at the scene of his other victims. One year after the murders he marries a beautiful criminal defense attorney that he mentored twenty years earlier and who has been in love with him since.

Synopsis: 30 years after the release of the 1980 movie, "Somewhere in Time," this interesting story is due a revisit. The unexplained questions of who the original Richard is, the provenance of the watch, the registration book and why Richard can't return again to 1912 can be resolved when the story is expanded by a useful prequel. A derivative allows a more hopeful ending than the lost soul of Richard doomed to a starvation-suicide in order to join his beloved in an alarmingly unimaginative picture of an afterlife. His final, earthly view of Elise had been of a beautifully ravished, glowing woman, who, in death, reverts to the distant, elusive photograph - an Elise found out of time rather than in it, as promised by the original movie title. Trite and disappointing. The rewrite combines new story elements with the poignancy of a young, beautiful and so-very mobile Christopher Reeve to produce a screenplay that may generate the box-office and critical success denied the original movie.
