Quoted from Warren
... then I got an email from the producer saying they weren’t going to finish it, but did I want to collaborate on writing a feature? WTF. So that was that.


Ah, that wonderful word 'collaboration'. You do all the work while we sit back and eventually toss your efforts in the bin because we didn't have enough to pay you in the first place and certainly not enough to ever make a feature, haha!

I realise it’s not the case, but it almost felt like he had gone through all the effort of making the film just to ask me that. It was so left field.

Be so much easier if people had enough respect for the writer to clearly communicate their intentions.

It’s the second script of mine that was definitely filmed and never completed, the other is Hush. The teaser is in the filmed section. Why even bother?

Quoted from Warren
Thanks for the read.

I think I mentioned it in a previous post, but it's not an issue for me if you know they're vampires, the only person who isn’t supposed to know is Eve. Its wasn’t too much of a secret.

Thanks for the kind words on the script.

Unfortunately this was one of those scripts where it was filmed, I saw some production photos and a rough scene edit. They also made a film poster, albeit with a typo, then I got an email from the producer saying they weren’t going to finish it, but did I want to collaborate on writing a feature? WTF. So that was that.

Thanks again.


That takes the cake

- Fair enough, although it may add an extra dimension to the script if this was somehow withheld until the final scene. Her burning up would land with greater impact.

- Sickening though not uncommon. The collaboration "offer" is particularly galling. A lot of folk here have had similar experiences. Its happened to me a few times too so I don't presume anything and expect nothing until there is a finished film.

So it's a vampire screenplay?

But your vampire doesn't have superhuman strength, speed, agility? She just gets smacked by a car like a dumb, ordinary bimbo?

And then there's bad, uninspired dialogue.

o k.

In your previous review you got cranky because I was too cliché and now you’re upset because I didn’t have cliché vampires?

Maybe you can try and decide where you stand on this. I mean, I know you are reviewing my work with the sole intent of talking it down because you can't accept the review I gave your truly terrible script. Maybe for your next review you can have a consistent opinion on something.

Now you're making shit up to mentally shield yourself from my criticism.

Why would I be cranky at your script? Yes, I thought it was bad.. but I didn't write it.

People expect a certain something[b][/b] from screen vampires.. but you take a powerful supernatural being: the vampire.. then you smack it down with a car.

A vampire can be a cliche, but many creators have found ways of reinventing them.

What you're doing is "uninventing" a vampire.

After vampire movies like Twilight, the Kate Bekingsale ones, and even shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer... people expect more from vampires, and not less.

To shield myself from your criticism, brilliant. I've decided you should definately hang around the site, you may be a bad writer but you definately add some entertainment value, like the class clown or something.
