You got any of your scripts on here Kham?

And btw folks, y'all broke the first rule of Script Club.

Okay, we agree to look on a recent work, right???


As I see the discussion here, the next questions are Produced or Unproduced?

and

Series or Feature???




Personally, I prefer to analyze a script the industry invested in. Because it includes the question WHY did they and so on...

On the ss movie main page there's a first draft of Edge Of Tomorrow from 2010 called ALL YOU NEED IS KILL
And an unspecified draft from 2008 of Interstellar.

As I mentioned, I'd be really interested what the movies build up on from the writer's perspective at an early stage.

I don't watch series, so I don't know much about those DS had linked to but would be interesting to learn the format though.

True Detective was mentioned more than once now, so perhaps this one??

Isn't there a new hype about a series called "Empire" too?

Well, that's my input for now.

I have ALL YOU NEED IS KILL saved on my laptop.  That shit has an explosive start, some people will hate it though because there's lots of capitals.

It really comes off the page tho, exciting stuff.

I took a closer look at the pilots between 2013-2015. Some extra suggestions from a few that grabbed my interest:

Tyrant

Barry Al-Fayeed is a California pediatrician who also happens to be the second son of a Middle Eastern dictator. Barry reluctantly agrees to return home with his American family for his nephew's wedding. Events thrust him into the complex and turbulent growing pains of a nation straining to break free from dictatorial rule.

Bloodline

A family of adult siblings find that their past secrets and scars are revealed when their black sheep of a brother returns home.

Hand of God

A morally-corrupt judge suffers a breakdown and believes God is compelling him onto a path of vigilante justice.

The Knick

A look at the professional and personal lives of the staff at New York's Knickerbocker Hospital during the early part of the twentieth century. (is a surgical drama)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd say it's time to start getting things going instead of just speculation.

We should have at least chosen on a script to discuss by Sunday. Preferably by Sunday morning GMT-wise, because I might go out of town for a few days on Sunday and I'm not sure whether I'll have access to the internet.

No one's offered any scripts by a SS regular so far. If we're going to choose between a recent pro feature or a recent pro pilot, my opinion is that we should go for a pilot. There's a lot to learn from discussing them. Also discussion about them in a screenwriting sense isn't as common as for features. My vote is 100% for a pilot. I'll make up my mind on which one in a bit.


Read the thread over again and throw in your final vote on whatever you'd like to see discussed after this post. No restrictions on what you can and cannot vote for, but if we don't have a good majority vote by Sunday, I'll make the decision myself and you can all throw me off a cliff because of it afterwards.

Quoted from Max You got any of your scripts on here Kham? And btw folks, y'all broke the first rule of Script Club.

Yeah, I have quite a few shorts here and a few features as well but nothing I need to look at at the moment - just saying) not that you asked or anything, I know))

What's the first rule of Script Club?

DS, I'd choose Bloodline out of four. Where are you looking for them, blacklist?

Quoted from khamanna What's the first rule of Script Club?

You do not talk about Fight Script Club.

Quoted from khamanna DS, I'd choose Bloodline out of four. Where are you looking for them, blacklist?

Kham,

You don't need to choose one of the four, you can choose from any that have been brought up on the thread, by anyone or vote for something that hasn't yet been brought out! Those four are just some ideas I was throwing out. I'll seperate them with a line in my post above to make it more clear.

Also, the ones I brought out are all recently produced and aired pilots. The scripts are taken from the 13-14 and 14-15 sections from here.

Quoted from DS I'll seperate them with a line in my post above to make it more clear.

Oh no you won't. You'll separate them. Arsy point I know. But it a writing type site. And I'm a bit of an arse. Actually I'm a full roundy one.

No shirts, no shoes. Not a problem around here.

Hang on, shurely you have to have to talk about Script Club. At least via strokes on keys? I can just think about it. But I've other things on my mind. Like how I'll find my car. As I've forgotten where I left it. Again.

No rendevous, we can't talk or type about Script Club.

Script Club is just a thread with no posts, haven't you heard?

I just found out about this.  Thanks DS.  I'll join in.

I wish we'd do something that I have seen or enjoy.  If this is a democratic process, perhaps we can all pick and choose it, step by step.

I do agree it should be something current, within the last few years.

For movie and TV series ( can we do both, one after the other?) should, IMO both be movies we have all heard of, that are available to be seen (screenplay wise).

For genre, I really enjoy good horror, fantasy, sci-fi, fiction, comedy, action.  I am not into war, history, drama related to those (like that TV show about the woman that gets trapped in that war country).  

What are some other favs for genres out there?  And which would you rather tackle first, movie or series?  The series show would be shorter for everyone to read, so, that might make it more accepted since I know quite a few (like me) are working on the 250 contest and the 50 shorts for Impact.  A TV series would be either 25(ish) pages for a 30 min series, or 45(ish) pages for a 60 min.

Oh Max, I grew up with wrestling, so, for years, I watched both NWA morph into WCW, WWF morph into WWE, ECW etc.  Most of the ones I grew up with are long retired.  Best character was Roddy Piper IMO.


Back to series, I have liked how Arrow set up itself with the flashback and other ways.  I don't know if anyone else likes arrow, or if the script is available.  Or are we doing True Detective?  I might be dumb, but, I could never guess those "who done it" shows, hell, true story, I couldn't even guess the scooby-doo ones when I was a kid...  So, I'm afraid I might be too "dumb" to get the clues for a detective show...

Car? I thought you just saddled up your goat when you needed to frolic through the fields.

But yes, shurely so, separate is the correct spelling.

Now, any chance I could interest you in taking part of Script Club, Ren?

Quoted from DanC I just found out about this.  Thanks DS.  I'll join in... ...  I don't know if anyone else likes arrow, or if the script is available ...

Welcome aboard, Dan! Take a read through the thread to catch up, we are currently voting for what we will be reading.

The arrow script is available online. Link here


------

Speaking of voting, here is the final information on it and I will also edit the first post with it.

Updated rules and information:

We will be giving anyone participating in Script Club a chance to vote for what script they'd like to read, as long as it fits the parameters below:

The voting will end Sunday night 23:59, US Eastern time (SimplyScripts board time). Click here for a countdown.

* You can vote for any recent feature or pilot by posting your choice on this thread. The newer the better. Please make it clear that your post is a vote.

* If you vote for a script on these boards, you need the permission of the owner and the script can't be an unpolished early draft.

* You can change your vote any time within the deadline. If you do so, make a new post.

* After the vote, an official Script Club thread will be created and everyone will have a week to read the script before the discussion starts.

* If we don't reach a majority vote, I will be the tie-breaker, so voting for an option already brought out is a good idea. I might not be able to get on here for a few days on Sunday, Monday and possibly Tuesday, too. In that case I'll type up the official thread earlier and hopefully I can persuade Angry Bear to be the tie-breaker in my place.

I'm still not 100% on what I'll vote for.

I think we have 0 votes so far. Might just be my ignorance and Khamanna could have voted, but I'm not sure from the post whether it was a vote or not, so I'll double-check that.

I should have posted this earlier today as well. Haven't managed this that well so far, I've been kind of preoccupied. Sorry about that.

Looking forward to the votes!

Perfect, man. I was already on the way to suggest you as an organizer. I probably wait for some votes and agree on one of the pilot series since it seems to me what most want here.

Do you include some paramteters or how to structure our analysis?

I'd prefer something which ain't a feature.

I'll have a look around before suggesting something.

And why do we need the permission of the owner for a script on here? They've hosted it on here for people to view anyway, right?

I could go for Arrow.  That's my vote.  It has some good stuff to look at.  It has different time periods.  It has action.  It has intrigue.  It has easter eggs.  Yeah, I'm happy with Arrow.

Cool. We'll probably dissect the script in pieces. Overall opinion, main character, scenes etc. You can just note what you think down somewhere, any way you'd like, and use it as notes for whatever we'll be discussing at the time.

Okay. Better safe than sorry, I suppose. The owner might not be up for discussion to stray from the script's own discussion thread.

Alright.


Also, I'll definitely be out of town for a period that will overlap with when we should have chosen the script, I probably won't be able to get on here. I guess I'll write up the thread tonight and hopefully Angry Bear can edit the chosen script in there on Monday.

I'll go with Dan, I've seen bits and pieces of Arrow, it's alright.

Arrow it is for me as well.
