Quoted from nawazm11 I think this latest article is one of the poorest things Carson has written. Half of it basically talks about how much he hated Flight -- which IMHO, was one of the best films of last year, if not the best. Maybe I'm a little upset since most of my features are Drama but this article wasn't in any way informative.

No wonder paragraphs in that article felt "familiar".
It's taken from an earlier review of the script. Slightly recycled. :/

Hey Guys,

Was anyone here one of the half dozen that downloaded the Orbit script?
It got yanked the from AF candidate list due to a SALE.
So, naturally, I'd like to see what the hub bub's about.

Shout out if you got, me want please.

Regards,

I read on the latest newsletter than Matthew Cruz just sold his script Guest.  Read that one and thought it was in really rough shape at the time.  Anyone have the details of the sale?

There's a members only Tracking Board link on a 4/9 Tweet.

And another contract comes out of the dubious blog...

Looks like another Simply Scripts regular is getting his script reviewed next Wednesday.  Morphine by Spesh2K.  Good luck with the review, man.

Did Keeping Time sell because of Scriptshadow? I remember reading the script and liking it, not sure if the writer was already repped before he sent it to Carson though.

Exactly this. Good luck, man! If I have enough time, I'll give the script a read.

The script got all it's attention from the blog.

Keeping Time led to the author getting a manager late 2012.
Now the producer that optioned it, got a prodco on board.
It's a big official step closer to a sale though.

I hope the HIGHLY recommendations don't put Morphine on a pedestal.

Good luck to spesh2k with Morphine.

Although, man...that Hangover III review on that blog.  Stay classy, Scriptshadow.

I only read the first ten of Morphine but those pages brought emotion and interest to me as a reader...

So.....I honestly DO hope that Michael gets a good review! Good job man! We are rooting for you!

Thanks for the support guys... I am nervous though about that review... to paraphrase E.D, I really hope the highly recommend reference sent to Carson doesn't set the script up for a shitty review and ruin the the guy's credibility (the gentleman who recommended it)... the overall feedback has been quite positive for Morphine (on this site and others) but the gentleman who recommended it was REALLY high on the script... I mean REALLY high... he said it was the best amateur script he's read in years, which kind of worries me. But at worst, I get some great constructive criticism to improve the script, which is fine by me. And I'm privileged and humbled to receive the exposure.

And, to be honest, I'm embarrassed to say I had never really heard of Script Shadow until yesterday when the script was recommended... well I heard OF it, but really wasn't sure what the site was all about until recently.

The high recommendation won't make you a target with Carson, he WANTS to find good amateur scripts. Watch out for other writers, though. Envy can be nasty in the writer world. They'll be coming for you, no matter what Carson thinks of it. So put on your armor and take it all in stride! You've done well to get someone to love your script, so you're heading in the right direction.

Thanks KevinL... the recommendation actually came from another writer who recently picked up representation from Energy Entertainment (produced Out of the Furnace - Christian Bale, Woody Harrelson, Casey Afflect) through Script Shadow.

I've developed thick skin over the years, so believe me, I'm ready to get my ass handed to me

Hey, does anyone have a copy of "The Disciple Program"? I'd love a copy.
