Yeah, you'd think it would move quick, but at 209 pags, I guess it actually hasn't!

Kind of funny, huh?

I don't find it that shocking, to be honest. I mean, the majority of the dreams in an actual screenplay could be greatly shortened or removed altogether with the exception of the ones that serve as backstory, leading to a 130-150 page script, more likely.

Then, of course, we also need some more fluidity between scenes. Also, look at all the characters with V.O who died early on. their V.O could be shortened and/or removed as well.

That's correct. The depth of characters and development of backstory within this lives more like a mini series.

To make it a movie, a lot would need to be cut and re-ordered. The survivor would need more time at the beginning of the script and lesser characters given less screen time.

I like Michael's beginning and his Voice Over. Colin's death would need to be changed IMHO.

The three parties involved in this interesting game of life on the edge: The Primitives, The Followers and The Blasphemers-- they, I think would need to make their debut early on as well.

...or their demise a bit earlier...

BwwwwwoooooHaHaHa!!!!!!!

Quoted from Dreamscale 209 pages????  Damn, that's amazing..shocking, actually.  And even more amazing, is that, in theory, we're only 6 hours or so of real time from the very first word on the page. Amazing...

How do you figure the six hours of real time Jeff?

Don't rush on this Jeff. I know trying to get oneself around all this is a lot of hard work.
