This month's theme and genre:
Genre: Action (low budget) Theme: Oh, it's on! It's on like Donkey Kong
Your low budget (no cgi, no trained animals) action script must takes it inspiration from the phrase, "It's on like Donkey Kong". You do not need to use the phrase in your script. You don't even have to mention the word "Donkey Kong". While you can have comic elements, this isn't a comedy and definitely not camp.
The scripts must be received by Friday, June 3 at 11:59 pm e.d.t.. Please do not put your real name on your script, however, please use your real name and real e-mail address on the submission form below. (After the exercise closes you can either have your script removed or resubmit the script with your name on it). Please put "(c) Copyright 2011" on your script.
This is completely Free to enter.
This is a challenge, this is not a contest. There are no prizes. There will be no official judging for the best script. All submitted scripts will be posted anonymously for a few weeks before the writers are revealed.
It's weird Don. This thread Has been up for 2 days your time, and no one noticed it? I just happened to see up the top under the but for script of the month!
Anyhow it's a pretty open theme which makes it sort of tougher.
And to tell you the truth, I'd never heard the phrase before...

As mentioned above, I can write threads and hide them. I do this because it takes a few days to set up everything like the submission page (that was up last week, but no one could find it).
The suddeness of the announcement was Phil's idea. The theme and genre are entirely my own.
Dang, that's a head scratcher. It's on like Donkey Kong, huh? It's so open, it's almost impossible to tell if a script fits the theme or not. And we don't even have to drop the line in the script anywhere. Really, it's a completely open action theme.
sounds easy enough... low budget short action script. i'll just probably drop the one liner in there or something and give myself complete creative freedom with the genre.
I really like the genre and theme actually, should produce some good scripts.
I'll do my best to enter and will read my fair share either way. I'm off work from Tuesday for the rest of the week so I have no excuse for not entering.
I've got an awesome idea already: Some zombie-mummies track down an escaped convict/ex-tomb robber, and take him to their tomb, where they then torture him with their ancient torture devices...um, does that count as a "low budget action film?"
Have googled some stuff but have had no inspiration which is very unusual for me. I think the sheer openness of it has stifled me! May have to skip this one
