All parties will have to navigate a pirate ship graveyard to locate the single most lavish treasure known to history. The two teams fight on trains, bi-planes, and inside lavish parties, before making their way to an island that has Firebeard’s treasure. That’s because Channing is still alive! He faked his exploding death and is now teamed up with Adam to find the Eighth Wonder! Oh, but Abbi and Jo are about to get the surprise of a lifetime. There they run into Adam Blaze, the evil male explorer who has dutifully filled in in the absence of Channing. So the two head down to South America to look for a suitcase that is said to have the famed map leading to Firebeard’s treasure (aka ‘the eighth wonder of the world’). And when Abbi gets a hold of a rare medallion that is said to be the key to finding the eighth wonder of the world, Jo wants in.
But much like Abi, she’s tired of men getting all the cool jobs. Her only problem is that she hates everyone and drinks too much. So during a big celebration party after Channing’s latest successful adventure (where Abbi did all the work), Abbi presses Channing on when he’s going to introduce her to the Council of Explorers when – KABOOM! – Channing is blown up by an exploding cannonball he was playing with.Īt Channing’s funeral, Abbi meets Jo, a gossip journalist who wants to be a real journalist. He’s been able to string Abbi along precisely because he’s promised to one day make her an explorer.
A woman, in his mind, is someone who will always be an assistant, never an explorer. As we’ve established, Channing is kind of a sexist d#*%head. It’s 1936 and Abbi Rhodes is the assistant to world-traveling explorer, Channing Smith. And, therefore, learning from it could help save your script in the future. It’s a common choice a screenwriter will face whenever writing a two-hander.

I don’t understand how that damn Goldblum found us.” Also, Tristar purchased the script last year.Ībbi and The Eighth Wonder hooked me almost instantly with this line, which happens after studly explorer and proud misogynist, Channing Smith, bumps into our heroine in the jungle while they’re being chased by cannibalistic locals: “I thought they got you when I pushed you in front of me and ran.” This script landed him on last year’s Black List.
