Script Revamp
Well, it seems the new script for next Writer's Room submission is alright: well, I say "new" but really it's a new draft of an old draft REVAMPED MASSIVELY. Don't you just love it when a Revamp goes well? Though I must say, I'm wondering why I didn't bloody do it this way in the FIRST place - a bit like every saturday I wonder why I didn't pick the numbers that come up in The Lottery. I mean, there are only 49 to choose from for pete's sake. If I HAD written the script this way though, would it be the same as it is now? Or did I have to go down these avenues, cul-de-sacs and under the sea and into the centre of the earth to see what people WOULDN'T like to finally find the bits someone would??
Ah, the screenwriter's sixty four million dollar question...Along with why do we have to use courier when there are so many other, cooler fonts and why no one in the movies notices the difference between the muppet and CGI versions of their pets/farm animals/monsters/aliens*. Mystery.

It is good when a re-vamp goes well. I took something that was a bit too Dukes of Hazzard, set in the 60's and turned it into a modern buddy/gangster/comedy script - well I suppose the jury is still out on the comedy :)
It was a really great feeling when I got to the final page and realised I had pulled it off.
