Nadya Wynd, who lives on Kauai wrote a new screenplay, Secret of the Crystal Skulls. It is set at the beautiful Na Pali coast of Kauai, where Andy and I hiked many times. Teenage hikers and their injured Kahuna guide, helped by the Menehune (Hawaii’s legendary little people) during a raging hurricane, discover a secret world and two magical crystal skulls. Fifteen-year-old MAT is sent on an hiking trip to the beautiful Na Pali Coast of Kauai, while his mother honeymoons with husband #3 at the Hyatt. At the British Museum, archeologist SIMON CHENEY has two weeks to produce new findings on a crystal skull project or it will be terminated. Lured by clues from an ancient Hawaiian chant, Simon heads for Kauai in search of a crystal skull.. KILO, Mat’s Kahuna guide, introduces him to Huna, (Hawaiian spirituality). Mat is intrigued, but the mood is broken by the arrival of his fellow hikers, preppies flashing their brand-name equipment, GPS, and attitude. |

They head out as Mat befriends JILL, an ecology-minded seventeen year-old who appreciates the beauty of Hawaii and its mythology. Mat vies for her attention with two rivals, who team up to humiliate him. As Simon heads up into the mountains of Kauai with a Samoan guide and his superstitious brother, a tropical storm becomes a hurricane, headed directly for Kauai. The hurricane turns the teenagers’ hike into a life-threatening event until a rescue helicopter comes to their aide. Only able to carry five, Mat and Jill volunteer to wait with Kilo for the helicopter’s return. When Kilo is seriously injured, Mat and Jill must seek help from the Menehune. |

Mat and Jill are astonished when the Menehune introduce them to the power and significance of the crystal skull. Simon discovers the cave, steals the skull and hurries to deliver it to the museum. Mat, Jill and Kilo rush into the night to recover the skull. In the ensuing chase, Mat must face his fear, Jill her insecurity and Simon, his mortality. In a remarkable turn of events, everyone learns they have a role to play in safeguarding the crystal skull and disseminating its important message. After seeing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, those who want to experience more, understand more, go deeper into the phenomenon and mystery of the crystal skulls, will want to see this movie. So… why is this on the Baby Blog? Because I designed the website, and I am really proud of it, and I also like the screenplay a lot. I hope very much the movie is going to be produced soon, and on Kauai. |
