I Am Legend by Darcy Villere - Drama - Publish on Fanfiction November 2005. Unpublished, but registered with the WGA. An extremely faithful adaption of Richard Matheson's novella. - html, format 8)

I didn't know you could post screenplays on fanfiction.  Well, considering I did it last year and got banned for it.

Quoted from tomson This was my third read today and it wasn't that bad. Way ahead of the other two I read earlier. The format was not that great, but it's possible it had something to do with where it was posted. I was a little confused by the timeline, but that could be due to the eggnog that was consumed while reading. :-)

hey, thanks for the reply and interest in the script. Thanks for the "way ahead" part. I spent a lot of time on it and it's great to hear feedback.

As far as the formatting goes, I can't seem to figure out how to get the formatting that I write it in (Movie Magic Screen Writer) to hold when I post it on fanfiction.

If you have any specific timeline questions you want to ask I'm more than happy to answer.

thanks again

PS: ImagiNation, you got banned for a screenplay? I didn't even know the site existed until I was looking for scripts and found the site. Was yours and original or based on previous material? Because I posted a One-Act play and someone left a nasty comment telling me I'm not supposed to post original that has no basis in previously created material. But banning? That's something I've not heard of.

cool. Cause a friend of mine who helped me revised it said it was a little weird timeline wise in places and I thought we had worked it out.

the funny thing is, I did cut a lot of it. and by a lot, I mean people who are rabid fans will have my head for the stuff I cut. Have you read the novella? I yanked a ton of stuff because I thought it wouldn't play on screen (mostly the science stuff, for a lot of reasons that I could go on and on about). I read another guys script, which was as about 18000 pages with nothing cut, and it was basically a direct copy of the book to script format, not really an adaption in my opinion.

There's also a lot of instances in there where there is a lot of time between him talking and any real action, which might make it seem long. For me, that puts him more alone than anything else because the life of a solitary man is just that, kind of boring and long. When I see this script visualized in my head, it's a lot like a Jim Jaramusch film. Not quite as long as he makes some of his stuff, but in that sort of longish style.

Last thought: I also keep bouncing back between seeing it in black and white as opposed to color.

PS: I need to find some nog myself. ;D
