If the film-maker is serious about the time he spent on this project... this is pretty mind-blowing. I've never, ever heard of someone this passionate about anything.

Google "Kerry Conran"

He spent a few years working on his computer making a short film to please himself. The short earned him a big budget ($40 million) to develop a feature film based on his story and ideas. The project, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, starred Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law and was directed by Conran.
