A couple months back, a friend of mine on another forum, we both decided we'd co-write a remake of the 80's slasher "The House on Sorority Row."

We both had Final Draft, and we just e-mailed back and forth, that was the easiest way for us.

However, it remains at 60 pages, currently unfinished. My friend suffered a family death, and when he returned to writing, he was interested in other stuff, and we keep saying we're going to return back to co-writing it.

But yes, e-mails.  My point was e-mailing back and forth was easy and we never came into problems.

Celtx is shite!

We used Dropbox and all seemed okay until I've just opened the Celtx document my colleague sent me.  It's in gobbledygook aka some sort of bloody code.  Any ideas folks?

BTW I'm an ex-cop so I don't know what those of you who say beware ex cops are worrying about

Hey Curt,

Was this more of a collaborative exercise than a spec?
I assume so since you chose something you likely don't own the right to.

That and the movie was actually remade in 2009 by the original creators.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1232783/

I can see it being a good way to learn to rework content.

Regards,
E.D.

If it's just an excercise, Curt, then finish it on your own.

We finally got there using Dropbox and Celtx.  At first though, celtx wouldn't work correctly in Dropbox, but it does now and it's working nice n smoothly now.

By the way, I'm not an ex copper

If you have a legitimately great idea for an existing franchise, it will be an uphill battle, but not an impossible one. I've seen it happen.

Wreck-it Ralph was conceived and started before they had the rights to those video game characters. The movie wouldn't work without them.


'Artist' is not a term you should use to refer to yourself. Let others, and your work, do it for you.

Just to chime in, you can send the Celtx file directly to one another via email.

I did that myself, emailed my own script from netbook to pc.
