Hey guys, I was really happy to get an invite from Franklin Leonard to apply to the Sundance Episodic Writers Lab, and I've uploaded my latest draft. I'd love to get thoughts, or better yet, a referral to any industry player friends while I wait for word from Sundance. http://forum.tracking-board.com/index.php?/topic/10846-1-hour-tv-pilot-hot-geek/?p=30942

"Seventh Son" looks like it cost $250 million based on the trailer, but it's opening in early January? Is WB dumping it because it's Legendary or is it just a turkey?

New action series with Emmanuelle Chriqui, Gina Gershon and David Arquette. FX? USA? Starz? Nope, try...Crackle? http://www.crackle.com/c/cleaners/cleaners-trailer/2490521

Just as I suspected: "...an excuse for ostensibly grown men to drink their own urine, kick around a guy’s severed head and have long, drawn-out arguments about their autoerotic habits in “This Is the End.”" from Variety's review. Pass.

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!)

What does everyone think about the bloodbath at NBC today?

Those sequences where he becomes the killer and "relives" the murder have a big supernatural vibe to them. And he woke up wandering on a highway in one scene, which really gave it a supernatural vibe. If that's not the case and it's just supposed to be his intuition, sorry but I think it's overproduced nonsense. Not to mention grisly because not only do we see the aftermath with the hacked bodies, but then we get to relive the murders from the POV of the killer! Yuck.

It's just a fantastic piece of writing. Everything is a setup that pays off later. Darabont picks us (and Andy Dufresne) up and then beats us back down, over and over, yet we don't see it coming because every beat is a surprise. Red's VO enhances so many scenes (especially the midpoint with Andy playing the opera over the prison p.a. system) rather than commenting on them or explaining them. Here's our detailed Story Map for whoever's interested: http://actfourscreenplays....

I have to admit that the new traler for Monsters University looks pretty great. I'm not a fan of Pixar doing sequels, but this one looks leagues ahead of Cars II just based on the trailer.

As a lover of "The Prestige," my immediate reaction is to hate Now You See Me.

Shout-Out to "The Ghastly Love of Johnny X," the worst grosser of 2012 with a cume of $117. It co-stars Creed from The Office. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1754633/?ref_=sr_1

Michael Bay cast an 18 year-old actress in Transformers 4. The older he gets...the girls just stay the same age. ;-)

Does anyone know how to find the official copyright holder of a movie, for listing in a book? For example, Nolan's films are often productions from Syncopy, Legendary and a major studio or two (The Prestige also has Touchstone and NewMarket Films in there). Imdb and wikipedia are not clear. Lil' help?

Not to be difficult but that really depends. Copyright is often referred to as a "bundle of rights" (or some shit like that - law school was a few years back)... the point being that there are different rights owned for different things. Rights for derivative works, rights of distribution (and frequently to different regions) and who owns what varies from film to film. Your best bet, honestly, is to call up the studio that released whatever film and ask their legal department. If...

Is anyone else unable to add House of Cards to your Netflix queue? It's there on the home page to stream, but there's no button to add to queue. Odd.

Dudes, seriously watch The Americans tonight and tell me if I'm wrong that it has huge potential.

Elliott, I too am baffled that Gerard Butler keeps getting big roles. He was great in 300...and everything else has pretty much sucked/bombed. He's the new Colin Farrell -- keeps getting cast, despite bomb after bomb or even much likeability. He seems like a nice guy, but give us a break already. :-0
