Joe himself is developing a screenplay for a future John Palumbo film. He's looking for investors.

I'M PRESENTLY WORKING ON A SCREENPLAY FOR JOHN. WORKING TITLE IS SNAKEHEADS (ILLEGAL CHINESE IMMIGRANT SMUGGLERS) OR MOTT & BAYARD. SNAKEHEADS MIGHT BE TOO TOUGH A TITLE FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE ENTIRE SCREENPLAY TAKES PLACE IN CHINATOWN AND LITTLE ITALY. CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE ITALIAN AND CHINESE MOBS. LOTS OF BLOOD AND GUTS.
