Has everyone been swamped lately? The chat rooms have been so quiet!

Okay, have a screenwriting competition coming up and have to have an entirely original script ready to mail out on the 12th. So far I have the idea and 50% of the outline finished. If i do 12 pages a day that leaves me with 1 day to panic. Think I can do it?

Question for the team...want to write a script based on a book that I HATE...which is why I want to write the script and change everything and make it better than it was before. IF I change it enough and make it a totally new story, how do I go about making sure I'm safe? The book is more of an inspiration than a true adaptation...suggestions?

Ideas can't be copyrighted only the execution of some of the key components. ie dialogue, specific character/story beats etc. If you like the premise of the book but want to turn it on its head, then you could be okay. BUt if you intend to use the author's characters or unique story structure in a way that they are still recognisable, I'd say choose another project to spec. BTW Hollywood producers buy scripts and books that "they hate" all year round.

I hate the book because it's such an interesting idea but the author got about 755 of the way through and did a great job and then phoned in the climax and resolution. The core elements are interesting but based enough on historical fact that I can play fast and loose with her characters without compromising the idea behind it. I guess I'll just finish it and then see what I think.

Just saw Looper. Kicking myself it was in my den on the couch and not in the theater, but better late than never!
