Ignore the source, here's my pitch:

10 people get picked to be on a reality show sent to Mars. It's shot like Blair Witch/Apollo 18, it's a lot like Halloween: Resurrection with a touch of Dead Space the game. Oh and somehow Bioshock is in there.

And on the way, people start disappearing and going insane....so maybe it's a lot more like And Then There Were None.....F who wouldn't buy that?!

The twist is they're in a hollywood studio and no where near mars.

Just say you identify as female.

You only count if you are non-white when you identify as a female. It's very precise mathematism.

Trump's policies will trickle down and eventually white-males will get equal access. It's a movement ya' know!

Will do

What time is the Sunday chat-it-up?

On it!

That is to say, tomorrow in the abstract way. I'll be hanging around most of the day.

...

Anyway, here's wonderwall.

Hi CB, Might not make it for the chat 'cause I'm on holiday. My vote is on Blonde Ambition. But I'm pretty much happy to read anything.

Noted!

The force is strong with this one.

Well done! Need to get my own jigsaw outline in order...

DO IT GEORGE!!

May Quick Man be your muse and grant you many...uh, boomerangs?

how bad do you WANT IT

PFB - Pretty Funkin Bad.

I will aim for next Friday. noon PDT or EDT?

Missed it! Next week!

1 PDT

thanks for this cb, hope everything is well

Recently re-watched Prisoners, such a great dark drama with an A-list class and those so rarely come around any more.

Thanks eric! Things are good! I'm an over thinker so life can be taxing. And yeah Spec, such a damn good movie. Any other year but Gravity it would have won best cinematography

You should have a succinct bible with key character profiles available upon request. At the end of the day you'll need to demonstrate series longevity. You should at least have loglines for a full season. I thought I saw a detailed pitch for The Wire uploaded to the library.

I appreciate you George. Thanks a ton!

If you're just querying agents and managers then a bible isn't strictly necessary. They want to see good writing. If they think you're idea is worth taking out to producers then they'll ask you to produce a series treatment/pitch/bible. The extent of what you will need varies, but you see people offering pretty in-depth show breakdowns these days (especially from writers who aren't established).

Yes.

Technically, one can kickstart a moped or a Ducati. Apt.

Japer...Or...A Vincent Black Shadow.

Not gonna lie... I love our community!

Agree. There are some fantastic people on here.

Agreed. This is easily my favorite community on the internet, you guys are wonderful.

Looks kool

Okay, are you the bitter script reader?

I confess I am not . Just a fan.

Coach (bus) cheapest or Ryan Air (cattle truck of the sky) for cheapo flights

Flying if you don't care about seeing what you're flying over. There's also Virgin Rail which is about 60% less hellish than a coach trip.

Thanks! It's just a quick flyover from Dublin to London, will only be in London for a day, then back to Dublin for a flight back to AZ.

about 3min too long

Enjoyed it, nice job. A simple concept, well executed.

Thank you. It was my first 48 hour film festival and I've definitely learned a lot from the experience. Thanks for the honest feedback, this is thick skin

Those scripts were always so hard to find anyway... but yeah, it was good for a few random projects popping up..

Did the Brits stop writing scripts? Wouldn't be surprised, with the state of the British film industry at the moment.

thinking same thing. my boys say cash wise rebel550 is cheap/effective. if u wanna be crisp, canon 7D. if u want david finched jr/on budget, canon 5D. then there is the coveted canon1D

For sure. The t2i is going to be ridic cheap at Best Buy on Black Friday. We're trying to get one under 1500, but yeah I wish I could get the 5d. Rather spend the budget on other stuff...

I thought I killed you in Brazil, you son of a donkey. And here you think you can set foot in MY town? On the count of three, draw! ;-)

HIYA!

What are you reading?

Once upon a time scripts and a few episodes of The Middle.

It was a fun read, the final trick was fantastic I hope they've kept it.

Broad comedy is BACK!

Another tip -- When asked if you want to overwrite, always check WHICH file is being overwritten. ie. Moving a new file to a USB stick, but you rush, and put the old file over the new one by mistake.

Agreed.

If you liked this the BBC miniseries Messiah (2001) might be of interest.

Always enjoy a good BBC series. Will definitely check it out

Was it at least good confusing?

Maybe? It's hard to say. The trailer was deceiving as all crap which probably was what really pissed me off at the end of the day. I give it 2 mleh's out of 5.

Why's that? I thought it looked like it had a lot of potential. I love Tintin.

His face just looked so weird. Not the biggest fan of this style of "animation."

Crowe's re-write is much better.

I instantly believe you. I can't get passed the "He walks like he's never walked before. With purpose. With intrigue. Maybe he almost steps on gum. He avoided it. Close call...Kind of stuff in the general area,

One of my favorite titles: Another Bullshit Night in Suck City

LOL. I'm all over that one!
