Since I’m doing this on the fly, I wanted to get in and out. Here we go with PROJECT UPDATES! 1) 2 0 3 – nobodies really read it! So sad because it’s pretty damn good. Soon, soon. 2) American Monster – it’s a tough one because of it’s graphic nature and the fact that [...]
Through my oxycodone haze I had to keep working. The last week has been a little rough. Both knees ‘scoped. No, it’s not brain surgery, but it’s no picnic, either. If my ass didn’t hurt from sitting too long, my swollen knees were yelling for me to get off of them, and vice-versa. When I [...]
For all of you folks asking “what’s up with [INSERT TITLE HERE].” Here we go. A blow by blow run-down… On Every. Single. Script.
Notalotta this week, gang. Here’s the quick version and we’ll regroup next week: 1) Big Blue Meanie – working with a few interested parties on getting it optioned. Also working with Don Jackson on polishing. 2) Blind Eye – made a whole buncha changes. It’s much better now. But Larry had an excellent idea — add [...]
Two Guys rewrite done, polished, resubmitted, and accepted. Venture. No news is good news. As of earlier this week, it hadn’t been read by the money people. Blue Blood has 3.8M of 5M financing in place. Got an extra 1.2M and wanna make a movie? Boy have I got a deal for you! What’s 1.2M between [...]
Catchy blog title. But it has nothing to do with anything that’s happening. Maybe it’s code for “Hollywood wakes up”.
Shake it like a Polaroid. I’m in the middle of re-writing Two Guys. I’ll be done Sunday (I think). I’m looking at this scene, trying to improve, wondering what’s wrong. There’s nothing wrong, really. Other than the fact that it’s two people sitting at a desk and talking. The sin is boredom. I wrote a [...]
I’ve been asked to make some changes to VENTURE under the auspices that said changes, once integrated, will be produced. It’s still a cool story. While perhaps a tad thematically shallow, it does have some bad ass visuals going for it. There aren’t a lot of deep themes. Mostly it’s “what would you really do to survive [...]
I’m about 30 script pages into my “new” work. I have about ten pages of notes. It took me a long time to get to this point, much longer than it has taken in the past. To be fair, I’ve had to weave other writing requirements into the schedule, but still… I had the idea near [...]
And then comes the pitch: ET in a time machine. Huh. Well, OK. ET in a time machine. What does ET do? Where does he go in time, why does he go there, and who does he meet along the way. What happens at the end?
