Thanks DS for your kind regard. I hope both scripts are converted to good and well directed movies.

They will send me copies of both and I promise you all to let them available to be watched.

Thanks!!!

Um...I hate to be the one with a negative comment but I didn't see anything special about this short.  I mean, I have seen this same type of story dozens of times.  And the ending was way too predictable.

Dialouge needs work as well.

Okay, I respect your point of view. We all here are trying to succeed in any way. I'm happy that a moviemaker saw more things than dozens of stories in my script did.

Anyway, was nice to hear from you a critic.

It sounds as if your a little bitter about my post.  I apologize if I offended you in any way.  I just felt that when reviewing or posting thoughts on someone's work it is best to give constuctive criticism.  But of course, if its was optioned then it must be of some value.

But you do have to admit, the story of finding a newspaper or book that tells the future has been done several times.  Off the top of my head is the Back to the future movie and the tv show that's whole premise was that a guy would recieve a paper a day early.

Look did not bitter about your post, really. I understand your point and I have to agree that there are dozens (or more) of stories like mine, but in certain way this one is different like others that even will be written using a pendant, a hat, a ring, a or watch, etc

Helio mon ami,

very good kinda "Twilight Zone" story. Is it because I'm now used reading your stories, but I have guessed the ending before I could read it (but not the final punchline)

*****************SPOILERS********************

you could have made Sean saying to his wife he's gonna make the frontpage because he's gonna win the lottery. The end would be (IMHO) stronger.

I'd rather chenge the title. I find it not much efficient enough. Maybe "The Frontpage".

Michel

I do hope your wife doesn't sound like Silvia (lol)

i liked this one. lots of format errors though but not important anymore. loved the ending! reminded me of the Joker from Batman.

did this ever get made by the way?

Hey Daniel, thanks for your review, dude.

The moviemaker from Australia gave me just a long silence after to ask me this short script. Doesn't matter if was shot or not, but it was written.

Once more thanks Daniel!
