So we have 6 in for sure, and a few maybes... pretty good. I'll be reading all the completed scripts, too.

Alright...feeling much better about this now.  I actually have my plot and story set.  Lead protag will be male.  A few locales even selected.

I actually really like it!  But, as always, it's deep under wraps, so I doubt I will reveal much more, other than progress or lack there of.

I'm going to set up an outline and get writing ASAP...hopefully even today.

BTW, Khamanna, your link didn't work...try re posting and make sure it's accurate.

Got my basic premise set-up. Bleeding Green is the working title, the lead is a hot chick with a photographic memory. Course, she get's amnesia, so that kind of sucks for her...

I'm in.  

I came up with an idea last night and ran with it.  Currently at 20 pages.  No workable logline yet but it involves cannibalism, torture, and sandwiches.  

Title: Let Me Hear You Scream


Be excellent to each other

Greg...SWEET!  Another entry...nice job, man.

Sounds like horror to me, though.  20 pages already?  Damn..you guys (and gals) are good.  That's fast writing.

Excellent!!!!

Awesome Greg!

I'm heading to bed in a minute. I ended the day on page 34. Don't feel bad if you are not as fast. I'm notorious for being fast at writing crap! So, take your time guys. This is just how I do things. That's all.

Ok, I think I came up with a logline for mine. It's in first draft form, still, but it's functional.

Logline:

After being shot in the head for failing an assignment, a hitman develops amnesia. When he receives details on what the failed hit was, he realizes he must now protect the former target, his ex-wife, an anti-gun politician.

I've been brainstorming on four or five ideas but I've now settled on one... or I think I have. I have it clear in my mind and when I work out a few minor things, I'm ready to start writing. So to recap, no more terrorists, spies, exploding body parts and the like. Just a tense thriller with lots of suspense and mystery. I'll post the logline very soon.

A "round table" does sound extremely helpful. Did anyone else go that route?

Just took a long hike through some beautiful woods, alongside a gorgeous lake.  Lots of time to think...

Looks like I've once again changed things up in my script.  Like, totally changed things up.  And once, again, I'm happy that I didn't actually start it yet, cause this one's better.

I do have a question for you all that I need advice on...

I've come up with a title that I love, but it's already been used in the mid 90's for a movie that didn't do very well, but definitely had some star power attached to it.  Should I not worry about it, and just use the same title I like, or ditch it, and come up with something fresh?

Thanks, guys!

Sigh...so I had an idea. Whether I'll actually write it or not, I dunno - I want to get this Red Planet competition script finished and polished, which will take up the next week at least. But after that...we'll see.

Of course, that would only leave me with five weeks. Which is probably unrealistic, although with enough attention paid to outlining, who knows. I'm not going to commit to entering, and it's 80%-20% I won't...

...but it is a good idea.


Guess who's back? Back again?

I've finally kicked my ass into gear and wrote 5 pages. I have a complete outline of where the story will go and what will happen in 90% of the scenes. Things may change slightly as I write but not much. I'm certain I will complete this well before the deadline.

I don't have a logline or title yet, but my story is a fairly simple one. A young woman marries a very rich and successful businessman, but after a horror car crash on the night of their wedding, she is left with severe amnesia and can't remember the last year of her life. She doesn't even know who her new husband is. As some dead bodies are found around the town, she starts to get really paranoid and think he is the killer. No one will believe her so she has to piece together the last year of her life and find out just how well she did know her husband.

It should turn out very low budget with few characters and locations but I think I can make it interesting enough for a 90 odd page feature.

I actually have an idea as well. It's a sci-fi thriller where a man has his memory erased and get new memories implanted in. This memory-erasing service is funded by government to protect the public. The man must infiltrate the base to retain his memory. Haven't thought about the stakes yet.

I probably don't have enough time to it...just under 5 weeks, right?

Quoted from Coding Herman
After finding back his kidnapped amnesic wife, a man starts to experience strange occurrences as his wife's memory starts to recover while his memory deteriorates.  


Uh...I don't know about this.  Here's why...

Finding his kidnapped, amnesiac wife is alot right there.  You've got to show she's been kidnapped, show she's an amnesiac, then have the hubby "find her" - this isn't easy stuff, and it will take a bunch of pages anyway you look at it.  Then, you kick into another completely different plot line.

Know what I mean?  IMO, this is a plot that would need many months of developing.  If I were you, I'd stick to something much simpler that you can actually plot out, and write in a total of 7 weeks....you're already inside 6 weeks as of today.

Let's try again.

A man's wife becomes amnesic after she went missing for several years. Now there are people who try to kill his wife while his memory starts to deteriorate. He needs to find out why this is all happening before he becomes amnesic.

I don't know, sounds like a rehash of some movies?

I think it would work if the wife regained her memory (as you mentioned earlier) is being sought by the kidnappers (and not just anybody, but I think you implied just that...though stating it would be even better). I like it.
