BTW, if anybody should happen to read the version on Script Shadow, that draft is different from the one I have posted here -- the ending is drastically different. It's a LOT darker and a LOT more bleak ala the ending to Seven... but that was the version that was highly recommended to Script Shadow...

Crossing my fingers...

Hey Michael -

Good luck - we're all rooting for you and Morphine!

Cheers,

--J (Wonka)

Thanks J (Wonka)... hopefully the script doesn't fuck up the credibility of the guy who highly recommended it haha

This is on my to-read list.

Curt,

Hopefully, you enjoy it! It is very dark and has a very indie feel... the themes are handled in a very abstract way. The version on simply scripts is different from the one on script shadow... the character arc is a lot more clear on the version posted here, but it felt less provocative and too easy.

It wanted it to come across as a dream-like tale... at parts nightmarish. I bend reality a bit, here. Think of it as a dark and surreal coming of age suspense drama.

Any way, looking forward to your thoughts!

-- Michael

Love dramas.  And I am a massive fan of indie movies, so I think I shall enjoy this!  Hopefully I can have it done in one sitting

Michael!!!

Excited for you! Best of luck!

Rooting for YOU!

Michael, best of luck. To get anyone to call your script "impressive" is an achievement, whatever else happens. Congrats and I hope Carson loves the script.

Thanks D... getting pretty nervous about that review on Wednesday... but I'm thankful for the opportunity to gain exposure, and, at worst, I'll receive some very helpful feedback in the critique (as I've received here on this site). Can't help but thank the gentleman who highly recommended the script (from another website)...

-- Michael

Thanks KevinL, I hope Carson digs it, too. Hopefully I don't get the "trash" or "not for me" rating, haha. The gentleman who recommended said Carson would like it, so I'm crossing my fingers...

You should be fine, dude.  Morphine is a killer script.

Thanks man, appreciate it. Thus far, in general, it's been well received, especially when you consider that the script/story/tone isn't for everybody (I knew that writing it). But opinions always vary... hopefully, the script can keep on building momentum...

SPOILERS***


And it should be well-recieved.  It's one script, along with Bert's The Farm, that I would instantly recommend to a newer member on here who's looking for a really engaging story to sit down and read.  

Browsing over earlier posts now, I see previous drafts ended pretty harshly.  Like some Reservoir Dogs type shit.  Whatever happened before, I'm glad the draft you e-mailed me had Early and Agony survive (they were cute together).  I swear when Daddy blew Agony's hand off with the hand canon, I was on the edge of my seat
talking to myself:  "Ah, fuck, Mike, don't do this to me."

Thanks dude... different version on Script Shadow... Agony dies! But that was the version that was recommended.

Thanks for checking it out, man, and thanks for your endorsement!
