As the new year begins, I would like to consider what comes next for this exercise. Who is our next victim? Pia said she had something she wanted input on on the previous thread, but I also wanted to make sure all was fair in the discussion to pick it.
I have not had the time to re-write any of them yet and now I have a couple of other things I want to complete before the end of the month, but I'm still interested in the SC and will participate.
Maybe we can do someone elses or maybe a pro script? I'm game for anything. Whatever you guys want to to.
I'm personally always biased towards people around here who want some in-depth looks into their own stuff that maybe a group discussion would help if they're looking to actively rewrite. Obviously, we're not looking for those desperate-for-a-read types, but more those who've been read and who have revised, but need a leg up on what isn't working. Those people whose script feedback usually comes out with an "it's awesome, I love it!", but they know it just doesn't feel done yet.
Are we looking to punch holes in the Godfather? Sure, why not? I still think the Italy section was boring...
I think it might be best to wait a few weeks, we have the Shiva game and the two week challenge coming up. Could we maybe start the script club after that?
Who knows I might have a feature ready by then, my plan is to have it written by the time I go back to work in two weeks.
The Shiva game is minimal when it comes to time, and we'd need to find a script to read first. The two week challenge is a good point, and we'll see when Phil brings that together and who is affected when the time comes.
Though I think we should wait a few weeks to start, probably like three to give reads a chance to happen for the TWC, I think trying to come up with the script we will read is a task we can tackle. And who knows, it might take us that long anyway.
I don't know about the Black List scripts - they all seemed a bit boring to me this year. What about a classic script from some movie we all would have seen? We haven't done that yet. Unless some SS member has a script they want done.
