Here's a list of some stuff I'm working on including in the next draft:

-A new opening scene
-An earlier introduction of Kevin
-A much longer flashback that shows Braeden through a few different time periods
-A scene to break up the time Eamon is in the catacombs. It would be a mass conversion. I originally intended to include this, but didn't write it (I instead had Braeden say the entire town was converted). It'll feature quite a bit more, and will probably be one of the bigger sequences.
-An actual reference to the title
-A slightly different ending that's a bit more realistic
-MUCH better dialogue between Eamon and Braeden
-An extended (and much better) version of the funeral scene, with better dialogue
-A slightly revamped version of the truck rollover aftermath
-A bit of a smoother explanation of the rollover, rather than the quick flashback I have now

I'll also be working on including some actual French into some of the dialogue.

Oh, and ten points to anyone who can figure out what all the names mean.

I think the ending for this script was pretty good, maybe it could have been established a bit better in some of Breaden's dialogue or something, but it still works.

But one thing you should change for the revisions is to give it another ending, one that ensures that this screenplay has a sequeless future. That would be really, really cool.

The ending actually leaves off the way it does as I was working on a story at the same time as this (which has since fallen into the deep, dark pit that is Freak's Development Limbo) which wasn't a 'sequel' in the traditional sense, but a story that built on the same concept in a different way. It was a much grander story, involving the actual apocalypse and Second Coming. The ending of Je Suis was to imply that connection, but to prevent any true 'sequel' from being written, as I didn't want to write a sequel. To give you an idea of the scope of the new idea, the final sequence involved a massive ten thousand year old underground temple beneath Vatican City which essentially disproved everything we know and believe, and was the key to the two stories. I eventually put that idea on ice to go off and work on some other projects, and the ending of JSLMR is all that remains of that idea. I might come back to the idea one of these days, but until then, who knows.

That's what I've been meaning to ask you, Freak. If you're signed on to write one of these things and it's put into production, would you put in a bid to direct? Like are you a writer/director or just a writer?

I would try and get attached as director, but it's not a deal breaker for me. I'm a writer first, director second, though if I can be a writer/director first, all the better.

Hi,
This sounds really great, reminds me of "The Wicker Man" meets "Buried Alive".
Nice going R.E, Freak, very enjoyable so far.

Yeah, this is a great script.
Hey Freak, if I can find funding could I try to direct this?
I'm trying to get a career off the ground and this is exactly the kind of script I'm looking for.
It's sheer brilliance, and it could be managed well with the right actors and atmospheric filming.
I see a lot of "film noir" and "German expressionism" influence, or at least that's the kind of style that I envision would work well for this.
Something moody and gothic, kind of a throwback to "The Exorcist", "Frailty," and "Sleepy Hallow".

If you want a mental image of the find of style my directing reflects, I'd say a cross between "William Friedkin", "Tim Burton", and "Sam Raimi."
