Loved the Conjuring... One of the top horror flicks I've seen

Took a week off... ended up reading a dozen scripts.

Anyone here been a reader at a prodco or studio (recently or currently would be preferable)? I'd like to ask you a few questions about your experience.

Meeting tomorrow - albeit to write the VO for a documentary - but writing is writing . . . right?

They renamed 'All You Need is Kill' to "Edge of Tomorrow'? Why??

Anyone know of any examples of movies that are psychological horror/thriller?

It's official. I'm the only film buff on Earth who doesn't think Oldboy is the greatest film ever.

Speaking of walking out, I've been trying to read the books ahead of the scripts concerning certain adaptations. So I'm halfway through Ender's Game (book), and I'm surprised to say I don't think I can finish.

Congrats to all the LaunchPad winners and finalists and semifinalists - very happy for all those writers and hope the early success for some continues with all the rest. Cheers. Oh - and nice job with the contest itself TB!

new trailer for the counselor. anyone know if it's been rewritten by someone else? mccarthy's draft i read was not very cinematic if i recall.

Taken 3: The plot line is under wraps but said to involve Taken meets Taken 2: except this time...the person he has to find and rescue...is himself.

My psycho-thriller has just been optioned. It's titled: "The Cuckoo's Plight”. Jim Sheridan who directed "My Left Foot" – from which Daniel Day Lewis won an academy award - is onboard as an executive producer.

Oy frickin' vay it's hot here. You were smart to leave this place Charlie Brown.

Anyone know what incited WME to pull this CAAN'T prank right now and not at some other time?

FADE OUT!!! First draft of HELL HOLE complete. Logline: Kept under wraps, but said to be a horror-thriller franchise in the vein of THE GRUDGE and THE CORE.

For my birthday I got a chainsaw . . . there's a story here.

Why has the new Star Trek not beat the first one's opening weekend, even with 3D and Imax premiums and an 87% critics rating? It had the best trailer of the year. (No spoilers!)
