They All Love Jack: Busting the Ripper

Folks,
I have just found out that "They All Love Jack" by Bruce Robinson has been longlisted for the prestigious "Samuel Johnson" literary prize.
Does this bestow some long overdue respectability for ripper studies?

People,well Ripperologists any way,have to realize that you cannot copyright history.
If I unveil Jack the Ripper,anyone can write a book or screenplay and I receive zilch.
"Prosector" has been in a the same position.
Surprised that Bruce Robinson especially is publishing first.
He can copyright his book.
Perchance he has a screenplay finished and is about to auction it.
"Applicants" have chosen to ignore that I am prepared to furnish Internet links to published Medical Papers linking Nichols and Eddowes (Conway at the time) to Jack the Ripper.
Chapman is obvious.
So is Stride.
Mary Ann Kelly has at least one,if not two links to Jack.
She is a bit difficult to completely tie down,however I am doing my best.
Guess if your books are contrary to the facts,you are not in a position to downgrade your product
Royalties disappear and it is a life of egg on face and humble pie on the dinner table.

And
...and you can'ts tell de players wit out de program.Originally posted by c.d. View PostIt seems that all Ripper books fall into one of three categories:
1. They identify the real Ripper;
2. They argue that the Ripper never actually existed or;
3. There was a cover up of the Ripper's real identity.
You pays your money and you takes your chances.

And I agree with Dane, perhaps because we are both from Louisiana: we adore confidenceLast edited by Rosemary; 08-21-2015, 02:38 PM.

I seek the best screenwriter available.Originally posted by Dane_F View PostIt's probably considered thread hijacking since this thread is for a specific book coming out. I'm sure moderators will not be thrilled for it to turn into a recruitment thread.
Do you reckon I'm attempting to recruit Simon Wood for that?

I am however curious, the film is supposed to be a documentary right? I mean, a drama isn't going to scream case closed to anyone anymore than From Hell did. This is why I assumed it was a book you were after. I mean, normally the book comes first, you get tons of press, case solved, etc etc, then you sell the movie rights. The skipping straight to the dramatic film is certainly an interesting way of doing it. I don't know why but I like you. Maybe it's the extreme confidence without posting any proof whatsoever. I would certainly like to see someone come back and post case solved however, then things would get interesting!

My interest is in getting the movie made properly.Originally posted by Dane_F View PostI'll be honest. I still am not sure I grasp exactly what you are trying to do. You have some evidence that "proves" who JTR was and want to work with someone to write a book?
Not interested in being grouped in with the last two disasters.
I have known who Jack the Ripper was for 8 years.
No ifs,buts or maybes.
Anyone who is interested in the real story will require an excellent working knowledge of the case and has likely been published.
There are options for two books.
The income from either would be insignificant to me.
Intend throwing the rights in the package for the production team.
They are however up for grabs,if a suitable writer/s emerges.
I am simply offering the opportunity to someone to get an insight into the real story and declaring "case solved".
Trust I am posting in the right manner given this thread's title.
Been around long enough to know most established views of significant Ripperologists.
A few of them have been informed of Jack the Ripper's identity over the years.

So gracious of you. . .Originally posted by DJA View PostIf anyone with at least 8 years serious experience contacts me,I am prepared to give them sufficient information to convince them.
Prefer published author.
Strictly confidential basis.No information to be leaked,other than "case solved".
If there are more than one applicant,I'll post the "winner".
My current "first pick" would be Simon Wood.
Neither of the Maybricks were Jack,so I'm still safe from this new book....it seems.
