    Does anyone know if the Writers Guild answers general questions? If one was not a member, but had a specific question, would someone get back to you?

      Yes. If the question involves something that would fall under their area of purview or expertise, they will try to answer for you, even if you're not a member.

      Yes. Call them Monday...they'll answer q's over the phone, in my experience

    Well, thanks to the Oregon Ducks for telling us what we already know, which is that they had ZERO business ever being in the top 25.

      So is this guy the king of the spec or what? She would all be envious? 4 or 5 spec sales in as many years? Is that correct?

      Marvel scripts don't leak...

      It surely won't leak, but I wonder if the studio might include it as part of a home video/book release.

    Question for the legal minded members: Why would Lauren Weisberger's (presumed) confidentiality agreement with Anna Wintour/Vogue not have prevented The Devil Wears Prada from being published? And if not, of what use was the agreement (or any other such executive/assistant/intern confidentiality agreement)?

    1. CookieMonster

      Depends on the agreement, basically.

       

      Most will not allow any memoir-type book, article, etc. be written. However, most don't specifically prohibit a fictionalized account. In fact, that language would be very unusual.

       

      Most standard employee confidentiality agreements address mostly maintaining the secrecy and confidentiality of any confidential business information, not how the boss treats the underlings.

      Maybe the publisher's lawyers felt confident classifying the book as satire and/or were comfortable believing the author's claims that the character(s) were based on an amalgamation of numerous real life characters.

    There is a script floating around where a major traffic jam is caused by an alien attack. Anyone know the name?

      Rob, thank you for ruining what might have been a good day with that response.

      Isn't gridlock part of every alien invasion story?

    Books that you *cannot* believe were either never turned into films or never optioned to begin with. Go.

      Anything from the "Devil's Storybook." Brilliant short stories. Tried optioning multiple times but the author refuses to budge. Is it horrible to say I'm actually waiting for her to die so I can try again?

  8. sometimeaftertwoam

    Anyone attending Great American Pitch Fest? Anyone have any experiences with this one or Inktip?

      I wouldn't dare! I'm just curious to know if anyone has ever found success from any of these cash grab events.

      I found a writer there, signed her and sold her script and it was shot for tv and airs pretty much every Christmas. She didn't make a ton of money but she got a valuable credit and experience.

    Does anyone know the rate/ratio of success on the "featured" Black List scripts? Curious to know if any writers have sold or been commissioned off this extra push.

      Found David Winkler as a producer via the Black List for the Controller.

      Yeah, I would love to know who on this board has gotten representation off of the Black list. I'm considering uploading my projects, but I don't know if it's a great idea since too much exposure can be a bad thing...thoughts?

  10. sometimeaftertwoam

    Anyone have any experience with www.talentville.com? I assume this is another service similar to The Black List?

      Don't bother with Talentville. I gave reads and review there and I got my ass handed to me. Stay away.

  11. sometimeaftertwoam

    Can anyone recommend an amazing Western script of the last 2-3 years that has thus far gone unproduced? It's fine if it sold, but looking for something unproduced. Best of the best only. Thanks.

      I don't know if this would qualify, but I loved THE BRIGANDS OF RATTLEBOURGE.
