It seems like some people have a problem with the "purchasing" part, but I literally solved that in two seconds.

My only problem - I don't know if I'll be able to fit this challenge in because of school work.

I'm gonna get to work on some papers and essays and then see if I can devote more thought to this later.

Good luck to everybody else.

Interesting.  Not sure if I'll enter but I'll read some of the entries either way.  Hope for a good turnout.

Sounds interesting, I guess I'm in!

Sounds cool, I already have an idea but afraid won't have time to write it. Too bad for me - I developed the idea as soon as I read this, that's big for me, usually I need to brainstorm and such. Good luck to all participant. I'll read a few.

All right, I think I have something pretty good. Looking forward to reading the other entries!

As if by magic, script mag have an article on the first ten pages

Just don't have the character find the phone on a bus or something, okay?

That wouldn't be fun.

A time travelling script could've been fun. Shame...

Kind of agree with Jeff here. I'm not getting anything solid at the moment but I'll most likely enter. Or at least try to.

Cool idea, Phil!

I have a lot of other deadline work over the next couple months but I'm hoping I'll be able to get something together for this. We'll find out in a week, I guess...

I don't understand.  Is it too boring of an idea?

I'm already coming up with ideas of gangsters, explosions, lots of guns, t&a

I'll try not to whine but, and this is just my opinion, the idea doesn't do much. It's not boring but basically a little bland. Judging from the comments though, I seem to be alone here.

I've got one idea that I'm juggling around with but it doesn't involve any gangsters or explosions! The theme isn't my thing but I'm still going to enter just for practice in case this was a producer asking me to write a script.

It's what you make of it, really.  I left it fairly open so everyone has elbow room.  If people can't come up with something, they're not trying.  When I came up with this, ideas raced through my head if I was going to participate.  Hell, I was dreamcasting my idea.

I remember people complaining about the old challenges because the genre/theme were too hard and that the scripts would end up being nothing that filmmakers would want.  I go the other way and people still have problems... and this competition could produce scripts that are very commercial and filmable

Oh well.  Can't please everyone.

I can totally see where you're getting at, Phil.

Finally got an idea, a very special and unique one, I think this could work. Definitely entering now.

All right! Working on the outline now!

Hope you guys like dark comedy......
