You know....I bet many more scripts have been made into films from SS than InkTip. Don isn't charging anything though which makes this site even better!!
If this script was the first ten or eleven minutes in a feature horror movie, I'm sure it would get a green light from someone.
Just as in Jaws, the first sequence set you up and hooked you in from the very beginning.
What would you do for the remaining 90 minutes?
Perhaps there is an alien form or entity that inhabits children in a small quiet town.
After Susan is shot (assuming that is the case) the entity moves on to another child in another family. This makes it impossible for the police to predict who the next family of victims will be.
And how will the entity be caught? Or will it be caught at all? (I smell sequel)
But, it might be a touchy subject matter because of the small children involved. Or not. I've seen some preeeety sick horror movies.
Anyway, GREAT JOB!
I am jealous. If I had written it, I would run with it.
Woo, thanks everyone. It's been a while since I've been here on the site. I didn't even realize the trailer was getting popularity here.
Anyway, I'm very impressed and excited about this trailer, everything looks great. I don't know what they're saying in the trailer, either, but I've been asked by the director to help translate the entire film for subtitles. They're going to send me a script that's been roughly translated, and then I'm going to clear things up and make it more understandable. Hopefully I do well.
It should be known when the final film is released, so I hope we all enjoy it.
As for now, this is just a short, and I have no plans on expanding it, but maybe down the road something will happen and I will get a good idea for this.
Okay this is going to come across very random, but I was looking at a couple of scripts I’d worked on years ago and this was one of them (in fact it was how I found out about SS in the first place) and I just wanted to ask if you ever saw the end result? Fairly sure the guy directing it was called Steven Shaw (it’s been a decade or so now so I could be wrong) and he did say he’d gotten your permission to shoot it.
If you never saw the end result, no worries. I didn’t either. Just thought I’d ask.
Was surprised to see it was your name on the script as I recognised your name from the boards.
Wow, this is a bump up for sure. Sorry I never saw this!
Yes, Steven Shaw originally was going to produce and film this script, but apparently the main actor who played Tim didn't memorize any of his lines and the whole shoot just fell apart. I did, however, receive the phone recording he was planning on using, which sounded absolutely amazing. That actress and the sound effects were really good. It's a shame that the production never finished.
The new director who picked this one up did a fantastic job with it though. While the sound effects weren't as impressive, the quality of the film was great. I got to meet the director (from Spain or Italy, can't remember) in LA where the film premiered, so that was really cool to see it on the "big screen".
Haha that's actually true. Although in my defence I only got the script off Juliette (the chick who's voice you heard) just before it was shot, so I barely had any time to learn the lines. Not sure why it was left to the last minute but I'm guessing they were going to use another actor initially.
I remember starting well and he seemed impressed initially (they were shooting in chronological order) but a couple of pages in I was struggling... tried hiding the script so it was in my sightline but out of shot of the camera but no doubt the performance would have dipped noticeably by that stage so not surprised they didn't bother editing what was shot. They did shoot the whole thing though.
On the plus side there's no way it would have turned out as good as the version that was made though. Not just because that actor is way better than I am, but that set looked way better. These guys were shooting in an office garage that didn't really look very convincing.
