Fantastic news, Dave!

For sure, but I feel like your time has come to have a massive win, it's been on the cards for a while I think.

Oh man...

Saw the thread, thinking “optioned, okay… this script must be good, I’ll give it a read”: Removed by Author. Bummer, now I can’t read it.

Start scrolling through thread to see what it was about via comments, get about half-way through and give myself a stern facepalm when I see my own Avatar; not only have I read it… I gave you feedback on it almost 5 years ago!

Shit, where does the time fly when you’re losing your mind, lol. I do remember it now (before the rewrites), a ‘whodunnit’, t’was definitely a good read, congrats, Dave!

5 years since the first cut to an option... patience is definitely a noble advantage in this game.

Dave —

Curious. How much of this can you talk about at the moment? You said it was optioned by someone reputable — someone or a prodco we might have heard of? How did they actually find the script — on here or by way of queries? Stuff like that. Totally get it if you can’t give many details, not looking to let any cats out of the bag or anything.

Here are the details I feel comfortable sharing.

By reputable - I didn't mean big or established. per se. It is optioned with a director/producer who has predominately done shorts and behind-the-scenes stuff. The difference being he has some level of access to the industry (actors, editors, etc) and more importantly - he has the funds needed to complete a feature film. So, all I need is for his passion to hold up.

The option period is a bit longer than I would normally go on a feature (18 months). I don't want to go into too many details, but I am happy with the option price. On the actual purchase, I have negotiated my choice of either a flat amount or 5% of the Producer Pool. Which way to go to be determined by me at the time of final purchase.

The found the script on my website after Googling me when researching competition placements.
