Escapist

CHUTES is a dedicated family man. LADDERS is a rogue burn-out who's good with the ladies. Together, they are... CHUTES AND LADDERS

This game is called Snakes and Ladders in my neck of the globe...

There's no way it's better than my Jackie Chan/Adam Sandler project CHINESE CHECKERS!

Complete guess but I'm predicting: $150m world-wide total. No sequel but they'll announce a reboot before 2016.

Just upped Tracking.

I think Abe is hunting more than tracking.

I heard Friday, but I also heard next Monday. So I guess either Friday or Monday.

Last two years in a row, the 12th.

I'm hearing Friday.

Can you imagine infinity as a number?

Infinity is a number based on your level of curiosity.

I understand Jim Toth just ordered a unicorn steak.

The deadline for a spec to qualify is Aug 31st I believe. Not sure when the voting or list comes out though.

so the spec has to have gone out before aug 31?

I think so... I believe voting starts in September. This is coming from the bloodlist twitter account.

Hilarious. Then watch "Illiterate Lit Agent."

Whenever I see a trailer for R.I.P.D. I think it's a fake movie within a movie.

If Michael Bay ever did an adaptation of Orwell's 'Animal Farm', he'd call it FARMAGEDDON.

That is all.

It would have as much substance as the real thing, i.e., none.

If only Carmageddon could battle Dinocroc...

There's an idea here....

funforall - there is a discussion about those posts two below from this one.

Ah, thank you, Rob.

Newman died?

It could have been a really fun show.

I didn't like the pilot script. But that's me.....

I assume this is in regards to Override? If so, it was a friend of his who slipped it to development person, who went up ladder, and first look deal went from there. It's the hottest spec of 2015, partially built on the wow factor of it being an unrepped writer who is creating a ton of buzz, and is now taking meetings all over town. But, I'm sure as you read, you saw he's now repped with managers and will prob select agents by tmrw.

Yes thank you!

Great article, thanks!

I liked the fact that Mike Vollman basically described White House Down which isn't going to break even.

Yes!

Uh... Did we time travel back to 1994 or something?

I know, Frobisher. I know.

They're both lying about their ages. There's no way Fassbender is only 35 and Hamm only 42, IMHO.

Bring back nipples (Clooney)

Must admit, I was hesitant on it myself, because I felt like we were getting slammed with "poe" content all of a sudden, but the pilot really stood up.

They're not buying right now, apparently -- but something will probably POP next week and re-spark it all... still, not encouraging.

Gone. They don't buy anymore. It's about optioning and pseudo one-step deals.

When was it ever good? Buying decisions are so unpredictable. Write on.

Shadow Man. check it out.

that's great!

Really good work, man!
