lets just say if The Basement ends up being Eli Roth's next movie ill be the first one to shower him with praise .... and then ponder whether to eat my own foot or start kissing some serious a$s

Good luck with this Andrew and George.
As for all the non-believers, well, it's not that hard to meet someone if you're in the same area, really want to meet them, and you're NOT obnoxious about it.
I've met people. Only one movie producer, but more than a handfull in the music business.
To go a step beyond just the minor meeting... Rob Zombie invited us all to an after hours party about eight years ago, and a friend of my daughter's partied with the guy from White Stripes Friday night, too. So? They're only people. When I was in the army, a sargent told me that if I met a general I would probably say something like, "Hey how you doin?"
Yeah. So?
I believe you, and good luck with this.

1. Someone who pretends that famous people are his/her friends.

2. Someone who seeks to impress others by a studied but apparently casual mention of prominent persons as associates.

I'm giving Andrew the benefit of the doubt.
You can also submit scripts via internet on the Raw Nerve site, and they do reply.

I would hate to start a fight. I really do but i must say this.

Guy Jackson,

stfu. you started with me before and now you are again. GROW UP! and get a damn life. seriously, youre acting like a little kid.

You know, I really don't see the big deal some people are making out of this.  He said he's had contact with Eli Roth, and he's interested in taking a look at a piece of his work that in my opinion is the type of film he would make.  What's the big deal?  My advice to those making comments would be to say congratulations and move on.

If you believe he's not telling the truth, and it turns out that he isn't. well nothing is going to come of it right?  But if he is, and Eli ends up producing this movie, you're just gonna look like an ass, and I'll laugh at you.

Doesn't anybody here ever send out queries to different prodcos, agents, whatever?


My question is this.  Is the revised version longer?  The one listed is only at 64 pages, which would fall well short of a feature.

Actually, based on the question I posed above about querying, I think I'll start a thread on that.

Quoted from Antemasque stfu. you started with me before and now you are again. GROW UP! and get a damn life. seriously, youre acting like a little kid.

There's an irony in this sentence if you can spot it...

Quoted from Shelton Doesn't anybody here ever send out queries to different prodcos, agents, whatever?

All the time. It was my lack of responses to said queries that made me want to discuss coming up with a snappy log and synopsis on my work.

I don't get why things like this must become of things like this. I'm sure Andrew isn't lying, just excited, and then Guy Jackson and the other people have to go and put water on his flame. Pff. And if you don't believe him, why did you respond? You know what it is gonna start! And like George said, if he is lying who cares?

I believe you because I've talked to quite a few directors! I've even emailed Peter Jackson! I got his email off the Directors Guild site...of course, he didn't respond and blocked my name and had his email taken off...but oh well. I've also emailed and have had responses by the director of the upcoming "Eragon" movie and the asst. director of Narnia...so it isn't impossible...you just have to act professional and know what you're doing.

I hope it works out for you, Andrew! If it does, I can't go see it because it'll be rated R but that’s ok! I'll rent it on DVD! Ha ha.

Good luck and let us know what happens!!!!

Name Dropper

Don please lock this thread.  It should have been locked about two days ago.

Quoted from guyjackson Name Dropper

Ok, I laughed at that, but I think that's why there are some having a hard time believing in all this.  There's a name attached.

I mean, I got on here just prior to Andrew and stated that I had sold a script and got nothing but congratulations.  Of course, I sold my script to a small prodco in Pennsylvania that has produced a few other films and don't have any high end attachment at all, but had I said I sold my script to Sam Raimi or Kevin Smith or some other well known director, I guarantee somebody would have called shenanigans.

Just my logic.

I could see some posts being removed, but locked? This thread is no where near the insanity some threads have gotten to in the past. It's primarily Andrew's excitement over what's happened. Nothing wrong with that, IMHO.

And Mike, you have a very, very solid point there.

In the words of Big Bird after seeing the effect of 9/11 on Sesame Street:

"Wh... wha' happened?"

Andrew, good luck.  I have yet to see "Hostel," but I did see "Cabin Fever" many times and I believe that Eli Roth truly has some talent.  If what you are saying is true, then a very big congratulations.  My only slight reservation is that you are talking about this with such openess.  It is my experience that when something such as this does occur, you are forbidden to really discuss it in an open forum until A.) it is produced or B.) you are just told you can.  However, I'm sure everyone has different ways of doing things, so I'm sure it is very possible that there is nothing wrong with what you are doing.

To the nay-sayers... who cares?  Writers, no matter how young, are discovered everyday.  Sam Raimi produced a horror movie written and directed by an eighteen year-old, so the age-factor does not necessarily make it untrue.

Don, don't lock this thread.  Everyone just needs to listen to that voice that is hiding away in the back of their heads:

"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Despite me not caring one ounce about this arguement, that was a classic rebutle Guy.

not to blow my own horn....but

my, my what have i started....?
