I believe some people wrote 2 or maybe 3 possible feature openings. And depending on what we say, they'll choose one.

I may as well bring this up here, but I thought the idea here was to create something along the lines of things we've all seen before... to write for a specific market. That's what I'm marking on.

Not much we can do with a race against the clock thriller, aside from make it fast-paced action. That's all the viewer really wants. The story must make sense, yeah, but just because we've seen it before doesn't make what we're reading shitty. I watch films that are the same over and over again, we all do. It's easy. We don't have to think too hard about it. Put it on, lots of action, thrills and spills, turn it off having been entertained. That's it.

This kind of script simply needs to be entertaining. So one should get marks for action and pacing... not marked down because it's something we've all seen before.

I did not LC. I have an idea for it though but, due to work, couldn't do it. I will be reading and contributing though.

I see where you're coming from, but for me it's different.  I'm not interested nor am I entertained by something I have seen a zillion times before.  If it's approached from a really different, unique angle, then all of what I just said goes out the window and I'll start getting interested.  Now I'm not trying to strike up a debate here with you, because I can understand that some people are just different and that's that, but I had a really hard time reading some of these first 10's because they felt like been there, done that (I won't say they all do, because I haven't read all of them, but I'm not very enthusiastic about accomplishing those reads).  I started getting frustrated.

One thing to remember here is that these are just the rough first ten pages of features. They will not be perfect and the stories will evolve maybe even change completely along the way. Some people might decide to go a whole different route when they read some of these comments on the first ten.

I've only read two so far and it seems they do not yet have a male lead in their 50s.

I usually rewrite the first ten anyway after a first draft is down. I think that what we (as writers) should take from this is whether our premise has merit or not.

You have a point, Pia.  I will keep this in consideration.
