I told a couple of you behind closed doors who it was, but I won't divulge to the rest of y'all. Needless to say, this is by far the biggest break I've ever landed here. My screenplay, in all likelihood (barring the said person's assistant completely hating the screenplay on site), will cross the desk of someone that is a pretty well known Hollywood person. It's one thing to talk to agents, film school grads, friends and trusted academic advisors - but this is the real deal.
I'm scared shitless. It's not completely polished and now I have to take it out of the scap heap and spit shine it. I worry about being called out on my inexperience. I worry that I'll be told it sucks so much ass that it is a valuable time. It's one thing to hear this from other people (and actually, the feedback on this particular project has been pretty damn good to my surprise), but from this person (who I hold in relatively high esteem) - it would be crushing.
I really thought this project was long dead. Now I have to resurrect enough strength, and fill out the release paperwork, to show it off to the big boys.
:-\
-
This isn't the thing you told me about months ago is it?
Assuming it's not, good luck!
-
No, this is a lot bigger. And if you knew who it was Ecro, you especially, I think you'd get a kick :P
-
Well dude just know you got our support. You can do it man. I know you can. I mean if you can sell Becky on yourself you can sell anyone shit :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol jk man you'll do great.
-
DONT U WORK IN 4 HOURS?!
-
Good luck dude. If you become rich, I'm gonna be sure to visit you so you can give me that Jager shot you promised me. And then I'll mooch off of you for months until you kick me into the street.
-
All you had to do was ask me and I can get Edgar to check your thing out
-
Edgar Wright is too good for me.
Also, this is not his kind of movie. He only does good movies, am i rite?
-
Listen Willco, I didn't want to go jumping my guns in the first reply.
Good luck with him. Good luck and best wishes. And if he doesn't like it, fuck him!
-
If you get rich you should buy Children of Mana and Bones Season 1
-
:lol
First off, they'll probably hate it. Second, if I managed to make money off of it whatsoever, and I probably won't ever (the best case scenario is that lands me another gig due to variables involved in this particular project), it would be enough money to pay rent for a few months.
-
If you hit it big, do you have your entourage set? I'm willing to define my identity through your fame, boost your ego constantly, and lie to CrystalGemini about your wild, promiscuous lifestyle.
-
Id like to be part of this "entourage". I can be the guy that stays home and plays WoW :(
-
I was figuring that you'd be like my manager guy. MrAngryFace would be Turtle. TVC will be the obscure Dillion brother. And Drinky will be that guy from PCU.
-
Turtle doesnt sound very flattering...
-
He's the guy who is cool.
-
:\
-
Well, the Turtle character is a gamer who gets to the finals of a big time tournament.
Are there organized, big-money, runecloth-farming WoW tourneys?
-
What's it about?
-
First rule of Hollywood - don't tell anyone what it's about :P
-
Malek could be Ari. He's studying for the LSATs right?
-
Oh go on. :P
Genre then.
-
If you need a good lawyer in contract law let me know my cousin lives down there and is pretty good at the sports agent thing.
-
Bloated big budget action/adventure summer blockbuster fare.
TVC will hate it.
-
Have a Dawson's Creek reference!
-
I expect a man boob scene in the movie.
-
I want to be the verbally abusive Jewish agent. rodi could be the Asian, same-sex-oriented assistant with the high pitched voice.
It's poifect!
-
There actually is a very power Jew agent in the script. No same-sex-oriented assistant, though!
-
If you really want to be successful I suggest a bad accent and ethnic jokes stolen from 1985.
-
Don't ban me plz.

Geez, are you sure you're not penning the script for Entourage: The Movie - With Pineapples In Butts for a Summer 2008 mega blockbuster summer sausagefest?
-
What's the title?
-
Borat has a brief cameo and is killed abruptly in my latest revisions.
-
You don't have a title do you, Federman?
-
I can't say the title because it'll give the whole movie away. I will share a funny story about it, though. When I was writing it and before I submitted it to the WGA for protection, I used the working title of "The Box Fan Kids" (this way the goons at Kinko's, who are all fucking wannabe screenwriters and actors, wouldn't snoop).
One of my friends had no clue what the script was really about, save for the fake working title. He created this elaborate story about a coming-of-age dramedy based around this working title and was enraged when he learned the true title and story. He almost cried, I swear.

SNAKES ON A SPACE SHUTTLE CONFIRMED
-
I actually spoke to someone earlier tonight and we had a lengthy chat. It was good. I thought I was getting the typical OMG SEND ME UR SCRIPT LULZ bullshit.
Then I just got an e-mail from this Hollywood person's production office with release paperwork.
I said, "Wow."
-
and didnt pay 15 bux a month!
-
Good job, Will. ;)
-
good luck, dude
-
:)
-
This could be the gayest thing I've read on the internet in a while, gayer than five dudes blowing six dudes at least

Not as gay as your obsession with having sex with Nolan Bushnell. :shh
-
I never said i wanted to have sex with Nolan, but I'm sure Willco is tickled fuschia that you lept to his defense!

Lovely retort!
-
Lovely retort!
thx
-
I can tell you put a lot of effort into it.
-
Good luck! :-[
-
Wow, best of luck Willco. :)
-
Remember who your friends were first...I'm not one of them, but I'm sure you have a long list.
-
Y'know, if by some freak of nature mutant baby-in-the-attic chance that a screenplay of mine is ever produced...
... I am pretty sure Saint Cornelius will hate it no matter what.
BUT
I will invite him to a screening.
-
the biggest thing is this:
you'll get a imdb page.
-
I could already have an imdb page, but the film I did graphic design on has now been shelved due to disputes between the producers and director and I turned down Warner Bros. offer to credit me as a P.A. on that lame reality show I worked on several years ago.
Also, if I had an imdb page, Corny would flood my imdb profile message board with topics about how bad of a writer I am :lol
-
Probably.
-
I <3 you.
-
Thread is useless without the name of the person who is to read it.
-
Willco PMed me the name. I am sad to announce it is Uwe Boll.
-
You said you wouldn't tell!
Now my screenplay for Postal 2 will never see the light of day.
-
If its any consolation, your Postal script was incredibly poignant and really captured the human struggle (to pee on Gary Coleman).
-
Willco write a sequel for 13th Warrior for me :-[
-
Pay me scale and consider it done. We'll call it... The 14th Warrior. Huh? HUH?!
-
The 12th Warrior: Prequel to the 13th Warrior
-
Is scale more than $6.95 beacue that is all I got left, well that and some magic beans.
-
I am afraid I am unable to write your script at this time for that innapropiate amount.
However, John McTiernan has optioned my draft of THE FOURTEENTH WARRIOR, which he will begin shooting... in jail.
-
name a big fat Viking morphix and have him get killed in the 1st 10mins and I'll still pay you the $6.95, but going to hold onto the magic beans.
-
I just got done reading the script, Willco. Thanks for sending it. I'm sure Spielberg is going to love it when he's done reading it as well.
E.T. 2: Star 69 - They Call Back! It's fucking brilliant, Willco. You're a modern day genius.
-
:lol
-

OH FUCKING HELL you just made milk come all out my nose
-
Spielberg told me it was the sequel he was born to make.
-
Speaking of the E.T. sequel - did anyone read Spielberg's treatment for the actual sequel? It is godawful. Seriously.
-
No i never did read the treatment. You got it handy?
I always liked the thought of ET coming back to earth to pick up Drew Berrymore to have some hybrid sex
-
No.
Basically, E.T. requires of the assistance of his Earth pals to fight off an evil race of E.T. aliens that are evil! EVIL!
-
Haha dude that sounds fucking crazy. Thats like the ewoks using lazers and shit. I can see it happening and its something i want to see.
What would be your idea for ET2?
-
My idea for a sequel would be a 5-minute How To Video on how to buy or rent the original because E.T. DOES NOT NEED A FUCKING SEQUEL.

You're absolutely right! Why bother writing a sequel when they can just remake the original?!?!?!?
-
I should shoot you where you stand!
-
*pops ET dvd into player* YES *gets the astroglide ready* This is gonna be awesome *skips to drew berrymore parts and sets replay*
:D I love this movie but i need more Drew Berrymore goodness
-
Yeeeeaahhhhh... that is definitely not bringing sexy back.

Cleborp the distinguished mentally-challenged fellow with only one glowing finger!
-
I'm writing a script too.
It's a think piece about a mid-level band struggling with their own limitations in the face of stardom.
-
My script is gonna be better. It features preteens having sex and getting raped by a 30 year old man.
-
I'm proud of you Willco. Touch me you fool.
-
the original ET was fucking awful; why would a sequel be any different?

The Michael Jackson story?
-

The original ET was decent wankfest for a young Charlie's Angel.
