When a famous stand up comedian LITERALLY dies on stage, he is reincarnated as one of the Apostles with the mission of making the word of God a bit more humorous.
I have a lot of notes - just not sure I can pull it off. Long winded way of saying - I am in the debate stage right now.
I go to the grocery store but I have no clue who the people are...
Is that because you've been drinking 10-13 beers before you go to the grocery store?
Next time you go to the grocery store, just walk up to some of those people you don't know and say, Hello, my name is Pia. I don't know who you are, but I'd like to."
I've been working on a prequel to Clint Eastwood's western 'Pale Rider' called 'And Hell Followed'. It's an origins feature on how/why he became the Preacher. There are a ton of references throughout to Revelations and Johnny Cash - what's better than that?!
Collaborating on a supernatural/horror feature called The Followers. If I'm forced to come up with a logline (I haven't really, yet) it'd go something like... After two years on psych leave, a small town Sheriff investigates a strange suicide, but what he discovers is a well-guarded secret that would bring even the Devil to his knees.
I'm stuck halfway through writing The Fast and The Furious part 25. I went green with the story line, so this installment, they only race electric cars. Kind of in a lull point of the story -- they are stopped on the side of the road, plugged in on a cloudy day, and waiting for their solar panels to recharge the race cars.
JEStaats, that sounds like fun. I love fan-fics. Great way to hone your craft IMO.
Steven, that logline seems pretty original to me. Could be really creepy. I'm actually collaborating on my first original feature and having a blast with it. If you don't mind me asking, what is your approach to collaborating? I'm still in the early stages of my feature, my partner and I are just ironing out the plot and characters. Really excited to get started on the actual script.
I'm writing an epic sci-fi meets fantasy novel, but I've been writing that forever and I'm only up to chapter 3 lol!
I've got a short sci-fi film in post-production at the moment and I'm working on the backstory and expanding this universe I'm calling the Nearscape. I'm going to write a TV bible next, my hope is to pitch it as a TV series. If I don't get any bites with my online attempts, I'm going to the London Screenwriter's Festival in September and I'll attempt to pitch it there.

I may have to rewrite this sooner than expected.
Funny!!! Surprised that someone has satired this movie series yet.
Re:'the collaborating thing. This collaboration started around three years ago, so it's taken quite a bit of time but is finally winding down because we were shooting for Page, which we probably won't make. Anyway, he (Mark / Irish Eyes) sent me thirty pages of this thriller he had. We worked it a little, disagreed a lot, took some things out, left some in, added stuff. Then we got lazy, it took a back seat. Then this past summer I started on it again, and now it's on a rewrite that is looking pretty good so far. But we don't have any sharing software, so I send him pages, he gives me notes. It hasn't been a very smooth process, but we kinda got it going in the right direction. So, we'll see what happens with it. If anything, I got to make a pretty good friend. We talk on the phone a lot, met him over the summer at a film festival in Brooklyn, so it's cool.

That's awesome, Steve. I'm having a blast so far with my collaboration partner. I hope we become great friends like you and your partner have become.
