Re: Out with the Old...

Re: Keith Wheaton - JBT Media Contract
Hmm, no, I think my screenplay's good, I've been over it, several others have been over it, I've tweaked and tightened it.
The thing I was asking about was they seem to offer a package service...

Re: Out with the Old...
Wow, ellipsis, you should listen a little more carefully to SD, he's a genuinely good guy and knows what he's talking about. As do Ted Ellipt and Terry Rossio in 'Wordplay', think of how much money...

Re: Adm & Eiv
All of the above is why I didn't write my alien/Bible creation story.
While it likes to paint itself as history, the Bible's really a book used by patriarchs to keep the hoi-polloi in line. Some...

Re: what is an epic film?
Dammit, can't believe I didn't remember 'The Avengers' (though truthfully the story was a little light on, the characters and scale were great).

Re: what is an epic film?
Hmm, it's not a bad question, if a little subjective.
Epic films are usually (but not always) set on a big stage, have characters larger than life and a big story that takes a huge sweep of...

Sorry, we seem to have got our wires crossed. I was under the impression ou said no one would read a script on the 'wrong paper'.

I've sent scripts, people have read them, gave me feedback. Not always positive, but never about the paper size.
First script I sent out was a spec for 'ST:Voyager', and it was picked up and read...

Re: Looking for a script and partner
Hm.
You want the writer's input on character, voice etc, but at the same time the scripts you've read, their vision, didn't have "the same ideas about how things would look". And that's fine. ...

Re: Printing in A4
Really? As I said, hasn't been my experience.as Letter size paper is hard to find, and a good script is a good script. I could stand to hear a little more, if you have further info.

Re: Looking for a script and partner
