      Anyone know what became of the writer's script from the link Cosmo posted?

    I'm freaking out. I know this happens all the time, but I am about 1 or 2 months away from finishing a script that has the EXACT SAME CONCEPT as another project that was announced in the trades. I am very proud of this script and feel it is the best thing I have written. But I can already hear the rebuttals, and I don't want to waste my time working on something that seems to be dead out of the gate. What would you guys do?

      Also, consider that it's not like both your spec and this other script will be rushed into production for a release at the same time. It's really an irrelevant occurrence and nothing for you to worry about.

      Breaking Bad wouldn't have even been pitched as a show had Vince Gilligan known about Weeds. Imagine what would have happened? Now that they are both out there, it's obvious how different they are.

    What older specs do you still read that blow you away that you can't believe aren't movies yet?

      American Games is about Richard Jewell and the 1996 bombing at the Olympics. Leonardo DiCaprio is producing and Jonah Hill is staring. Problem is, no one has taken up the role of Jewell's lawyer, which needs to be a Matthew McConaughey type.

      Passengers. Pontius Pilate. Vivan Hasn't Been Herself Lately. Billy Ray's American Games..that's probably at the top.
