But, first a few words.  Seventeen first ten pages were submitted.  Six weeks later, nine scripts were submitted by the deadline.  What I am going to do is to feature each of the nine scripts, one each evening (edt), for the next nine days on SimplyScripts.com.  If you didn't meet the deadline, please continue plugging away and submit your work.

For those of you who've forgotten:

Genre:  Thriller
Theme:  Male lead about 50 years old. Race against the clock.

The Gist: This is a theme that I've seen across several production company 'looking for scripts' requests.  Assume a male actor in his 50's, in good physical shape, is looking for a mid to high budget "Race-Against-The-Clock Thriller"

Vow to Kill by Daniel Viau (Last Fountain) - Thriller - A former intelligence agent, who has finally rebuilt his life after tragedy, is thrust into action on the day of his wedding. A madman forces him into a dangerous mission somehow revolving around 9/11. 97 pages - pdf, format

Manhunt by Marcello Degliuomini (Reel-Truth) - Thriller - A man who has spent his life taking down scores, must break out of prison to settle an old one. Before a malicious ex partner kidnaps
his son in an attempt to retrieve the loot from their last job. 92 pages - pdf, format

The Killing Lottery: Change (First episode) by Alexander Brauck (PrussianMosby) - Thriller - In a world of nuclear deterrence, which had led to a revolutionary UN-constitution about an official killing exchange, a team of killers has to cross the Chinese Taklamakan desert to fight a man thrown on the market by a powerful bookmaker. - pdf, format

The Bunker by Dena McKinnon (pale yellow) - Thriller - When a family shares their bomb shelter with a mysterious couple during a disaster, they learn the danger within might be worse than the danger without. 100 pages - pdf, format

Deep in the Bone by Richard D. Kinsella (Scar Tissue Films) - Thriller - When only a bone marrow transplant can save his dying son and the only compatible donor is the son of a violent drug lord, a Doctor realises he will have to break the law,and every one of his morals, in a deadly race against time to try and save him. 93 pages - pdf, format

Congrats, Dustin! Haven't really followed the WC this time around, hopefully I can download some for the road.

@ Don, I'm a fan. Thanks for being so committed toward our professional goals as writers, this 7WC proves that. Should make for some exciting, marketable material for sure.

I think this is a good idea...I will be able to read one a day rather than feel overwhelmed with 9 features!

Thank you Don for all the work you do here!

And I would also like to add to the Don appreciation messages. You're a top man.

Oh. I thought Lee was too busy with his epic universe. Deity like status must be time consuming. I've only got a small field with a coupla animals in it. Yes I do. But I have! And that takes up most of the day. Where was I? Oh yes, I was over here... And I thought it was still anonymous. The OWC I mean, not my field. She's called Betty. This isn't the time or place to go into why. That'd be the snug at the Hairy Dog on a Tuesday night over some lager. Oh. I'm lost again. Hang on.

It probably is still anonymous. The OWC I mean. Not the pub. I've already done that bit.

Apart from those who outed themselves. Named themselves, I mean. I don't if they're gay. Not all of them. Or even any of them. Well, maybe one or two. Which is fine. If it floats your boat and shifts yer ship.

Erm. I think we've all learned something here today. I'm not sure what it is. But it can't hurt. And I didn't once mention the futility of life in a finite universe or the fact it's just a brief glimmer of light between two huge slabs of darkness. It's a bit early for that kind of thing.

Well done to all who entered.

Does this mean folks have at least eight days to wrap it up the first drafts? Do we submit them for this section or to the thrillers section?

If you submitted ten pages six weeks ago, please submit your feature to http://www.simplyscripts.com

Don

Update: to be clear, the nine who met the deadline will be featured on the home page. If you didn't make the deadline, a job finished will be it's own reward.

Hey Pia,

I shall add yours to the top of my 'to read' lists when I get home. Do you want me to read the version currently posted, or wait for you to make the changes based on the feedback you have already received?

And congrats to your son!
