I read an artical in The Guardian about a man named Mohammed Ali 
Harrath who may be deported to Tunisa after allegely being linked to a terror organisation. As ironic as it may sound, Mohammed is the head of the Islam Channel and advised Scotland Yard on Islamic extremismt. The article also read that 'The Islam Channel said Harrath's arrest was a "direct result of the unlawful use" by the Tunisian government of the Interpol red notice system, the international police organisation's highest form of alert, and described it as part of an "established process of harassment and intimidation" '. I thought that is artical could be made into a conspiracy/political thriller as the film could be set in the UK, Tunia and South Africa which is where he got arrested. However, maybe instead of being arrested in the film it could be about what could have happened if he didnt get arrested.
Moreover, another article i read that could be turned into a film is an article from The Independent. The article is about a care home manager named Rachel Baker was taken to court after being strongly accused of murdering two elderly women. Ms. Baker was on a number of prescribed drugs which is said to be one of the causes to why she chose to end their death. It was said she had a weird desire to control her patients death. I think this could be made into a crime and drama thriller. The film could be from a detectives point of view of looking into this case or it could be a psycological thriller from Ms.Bakers point of view as it could be that she wanted thought she could be ending elderly people suffering or her desire to kill them could be from the massive effects her prescribed drugs has as some of them were similar to heroine.
Furthermore, i found an article thats currently in every single Newpaper as it's one the headline right now- the Haiti earthquake. The article i read was in the Metro, which was about shots fired by guards because of the fights that have been caused from the lack of aid being given. Lots of chaos is being caused by this which is why US and Brazilian troops were helping out by giving out aid. The Haiti earthquake and the effect of it could be made into a Disaster thriller with elements of crime and politics. Since the disaster was caused my a natural effect, a disaster film would be a good way of evolving a film round this. However such as the film The Day After Tommorow which i wrote about in the other blog, there could be romantic elements as the film could involve a couple that is torn about by this earthquake, not knowing if their partner is dead or alive.
There many different articles that can be used to make a film. I was able to find articles that could be make into a distaster thriller, a crime thriller and a conspiracy thriller.
