When I walk through the streets and look up at all the government cameras watching and recording my every move, mostly I get terrified. But then I've read 1984. Chris McCoy, apparently has not, because he sees those cameras and thinks only of romance.
HR says McCoy has sold a script called Good Looking to DreamWorks. Here's how they describe it:
McCoy developed the idea last year while on a working vacation in London, where he noticed the city's near-universal coverage by surveillance camera to deter crime. He started musing on alternative uses for that collected personal information.
"If someone could organize that information and know what everyone in London was doing and eating and who they're dating and who they're going home with, then that's an incredibly powerful tool," McCoy said. "I think I have an oddball brain or something, but then I started thinking about how all that stuff could be applied to matchmaking. It would totally subvert Match.com and eHarmony, (where) I think people lie about who they are or they say what they think people will want them to be. But 'Good Looking,' my service, knows who they are and can put them together."
