    Saw this a few days ago, and definitely can’t see how it’s not this, sounds way too similar (especially with the promo pic that says “happiness is contagious”)

    This guy

    -wrote the story for Double Dragon before Peter Gould took it on and turned it into a screenplay.
    -worked on a bunch of X-Files novelizations, one being an episode that Vince wrote.
