Thanks Bill.

The project still seems to be going forward, so I'm happy. How long from option to pre-production does a project usually take?

Any luck with Best Served Cold?

I will definitely tap you up for any advice - thanks!

Could be anywhere from 3 months to never.  An option doesn't guarentee a finished film.  Sad, but true.  Just cross your fingers and hope the company is as passionate about the work as you are.

One company interested in BSC.  I have also completed a script called "The Monster" which is with C. Thomas Howell attached.  We have 5 companies interested and should close a deal any day now.  I was going to post the script here until the big dust up with Alan and Huggybear.  But now, I don't want to open it up to those guys.

TheProducer,
First, I'm sorry to hear that you won't be available on these boards anymore due to immature participants. Shame. Your recommendations and insights have helped me tremendously...I know this is off the subject of this board but this is probably the last place I might find you and I wanted to ask one last question...I'm considering sending my script unsolicited to several independant production companies(those that accept unsolicited work). Should I do this? I know most reputable production companies won't accept unsolicited work. But, do you consider it wise to approach getting produced this way? If so, why? Again, thanks for your generous time. It has been appreciated.

I may be able to help a little on this on until TheProducer gets back. When I sent my script out, I sent a query letter first and only sent the scripts to the production companies that asked to read it (there were about 10). I have also learned it is a good idea to have a treatment (even if it's only 1-5 pages long) and a character breakdown and some sort of background info on yourself.

Hope this helps...I'm sure TheProducer will have more insight...

Thanks, MacDuff. I know I need to get started on writing a query letter and synopsis...I have found a few production companies that will accept usolicited screenplays(without first seeing a treatment or query letter). Do you think this is wise to do? Or should I do the query letter and synopsis? It would definitely be cheaper to do the latter, I suppose. I just don't know if there is an insider "rule" on not sending to these companies for whatever reason...

I think if a company comes out and asks just for the script - then go right ahead...but make sure you have it copyrighted in some way (just in case).

Another thing to do is research the companies that are accepting unsolicited material. Have they ever actually produced a script etc..etc..

Good Luck!
