In a technical sense, you could say Memento.

But, I'd be interested in this one, I think. But, I'd prefer between 6 and 8 because I'm a slow writer.

Definitely Memento.

There are others, but I'm not coming up with titles...

Did Blink involve amnesia?  The one with Madeline Stowe?  Can't remember.

Here's what comes up on an imdb search

     
1.     
Memento (2000)

aka "Amnésia" - Brazil
     
2.     
Wo shi shei (199
aka "Jackie Chan's Who Am I?" - USA (cable TV title)
aka "Amnesia" - Norway
     
3.     
50 First Dates (2004)
aka "A Minha Namorada Tem Amnésia" - Portugal

Quoted from Dreamscale Definitely Memento. There are others, but I'm not coming up with titles... Did Blink involve amnesia?  The one with Madeline Stowe?  Can't remember.

I said, "technical sense" on Memento because he makes his claim throughout that "It's not amnesia". But, still, he can't really remember anything, so I fit it in.

But, I kind of doubt anyone here is clever enough to out-write that screenplay, so just try and live up to *shudders* Shane Black and The Long Kiss Goodnight and we'll be ok. Lol.

Shane Black is one of the dudes in Tales from the Script.

I actually always have liked Long Kiss Goodnight.  Saw it at the theater many moons ago...

so, how you guys feeling about thriller and amnesia? Is it a go? Let's get going! How about 7 weeks then? 8 is too much for. I would put it on the backburner and not get started until it got too late. Thoughts?

My plate is filled right now.  I hope to be finished with the first draft of one script and then I'm going to return to a comedy I started some time ago.

I want to try to finish several of my incompleted scripts before I start anything new.

6 or 7 weeks works for me.  If we get at least a few peeps interested, I'll go for it.

I'd like to have a crack but am keen to get into a new comedy idea i have going.

But I'm more than willing to help out with anyone during this. Not a collab but as an ideas and feedback dude if needed.

Hmm, had an intersting thought about the theme...  imagine a zombie with amnesia...

I like the fact that it is a real world kind of assignment with some real world potential. Seven weeks I think is good time frame.

Has anyone read Viki King's How to Write a Movie in 21 Days? Perhaps applying some of those principals would be helpful.

I haven't heard back from Don, so I'm thinking my original idea for this challenge is dead in the water. Pity in a way, because it was something a bit different. Que sera sera.

Good luck with whatever you guys decide to go with - I actually had an idea for a thriller script about amnesia a while back, and added it to my increasingly long list of 'ideas I want to tackle'. Well, not quite amnesia, but a specific type of forgetfulness. One I don't think has been done yet...probably has, though, somewhere.

Speaking of that list, I think the time has actually come for me to get down to it and start working through it. I want to have written a feature-length by about November, and then I'm going to come back to One Last Christmas, completely re-work it and have it up again in time for the holidays. Which means I won't be taking part this time...wouldn't have taken part originally, anyway.

Good luck, and hope you do it!

Johnny, I hope that you don't think we're running away with your idea! That is not a case at all! I think we're simply trying to do something here to get us writing a feature while there's nothing going on here...it's really DEAD here.  You can absolutely take over if you want.  

OK, so we've got me, Me, Blakkwolfe...anyone else?

And we've got Stevie, alive and back from the dead, available to help with ideas and the like.

We need more peeps!

First thing that comes to my mind is BOURNE, not MEMENTO.

I'm in!
