I was very impressed with this when I read it, and expected it to be picked up.
Fingers crossed they do it justice. All the best. |

Quoted from DustinBowcot Great news Rodriguez. Good luck on budget and distribution. |
That's the real trick, isn't it? I wonder what percentage of options actually ever get funded. Thanks for the congrats everyone! I hope this one goes somewhere. |

Upon reading the logline, I was at first, a little unsure. However, after reading the script feel you've done a great job. Dialogue and pacing were great. Story original. Love how you've played with the the innocents of a unicorn and turned it dark. Congratulations on the option and keep us updated. |

Thanks Jordon!
As far as Murderhorn's option went, the producer was great to deal with. He wanted to pitch to two specific funding sources and agreed to a 3 month option with no rewrites. When he didn't get the funding he let me out of the option so I could pursue another interested producer.
This was a big contrast that to my on a different script where I stupidly agreed to a 1.5 year free option, did a bunch of re-writes, then the producer wanted us to do the budget, pitch and find funding,. On top of that he wants a piece of the script if any of his feedback is kept. I know Dustin would have shouted warnings at me, but it was my first option so I was dumb and agreed to anything.
Fingers crossed that Murderhorn goes somewhere now that it's available again.

Best of luck with it. Lessons learned I guess on the other option - they guy sounds like a crook. We all stub our toes. Not a problem if you keep on walking |
