Sounds really cool! Unfortunately can't currently help you out financially since I'm crunching to finish my study, but applied on the site anyways. Either way, really cool project and hope to see more of it, good luck!

I believe the private session you're referring to was only implemented somewhere last year, no?

What if you actually make a new game in the series first? Or even just remaster the old games? Because I don't think there's a lot of people at the moment that remember the games and would want to see a movie of it.

Oh hell yeah, love this book!
