I'm looking forward to reading this script and actually would like to see it, I find it fascinating that you got this film produced, congratulations on that! Is there any chance I'd be able to get the website, or a pricing range to buy this film? Again, i'll get around to reading it soon enough. Good luck with your future work, as well.

One quick question, if it's already produced then why is it on the "unproduced" movie page?

Another question, what company produced this and released it and where can we buy it?

Bit odd as why you posted it if it is already been produced.

It was self-produced!

I was offered the chance to be exective producer as I had $3,000 'spare' at the time, but passed 'cos I decided to put the cash into my own script but I didn't know he was gonna do it so quick.

I myself call it the SCREAM OF ZOMBIE FILMS

It's an AMAZING read, 120 pages, great pacing and diologue with a surprise ending.
(I only just noticed that when you post a script they rate it)

You should have put some effort into the synopsis

Sound like the log line to every other low budget horror flick, most of which I've seen from Mystery Science Theater 3000.

I read about twenty pages into it and found it to be the most disjointed conversation I've ever read or heard.  It's as if you cut and paste lines from different conversations together.  The four characters are completely cliche, two dimensional and unlikeable.

I'm rooting for the monsters, here.

I hope your lying about the producing part.  This script is the most horrible script I ever read.  Please, give that man, or woman his money back.  Please.

I read this script and I can see where both sides are comin from. The beginnins is slow-paced and seems very cliche. But the more I read it i liked it. Dont you dare walk out on this script.... DO NOT stop reading after 20 pages, it is a great script wit ha very good ending.

I would also like to know a website or a place to buy this film if it really was produced...

I just got done reading it. It was kinda boring at the begining, but it got better and better like ryansmith said. I would actually look forward to watch this movie.
Had a lot of twists and turns. But, the characters sucked in my opion, and i hated them all.

I read it. Congrats on getting it produced!

Most zombie movies leave a stale taste in my mouth  ;D because they are just the dead walking around eating the living, yet this one had an actual story to it, one that was different.

You could have improved upon the characters, but hey, this is a low budget movie, not a box office hit. That is like comparing an art student to a Van Gogh. It is art that you've created and taken a step further in getting it produced.  

I raise my glass to you and wish you all the best.

I can't rember the site address sorry. But the guy used to post at bloody-disgusting.com which might tell you in his profile.

I'll also congratulate you on getting a script produced.

I agree with AsianBoyToy, I was pretty bored at the beginning. I didn't really get into it that much as it continued, but I understood what you were trying to do. And I have to echo what pretty much everyone else has said - work on those characters.

I tried reading this, but I stopped after the part when the zombie mushed its face against the window and they said that it was a zombie immediately. It just ruined the mood for me.

How memorable can the film be if you can't remember where to buy it?

something smells fishy about this entire thing......

I am Jason Pitts.  Let me clear up some confusion on this script.  I am the writer.  It was self produced for a few thousand.  The website is http://www.geocities.com/netricks/E.html  However, you cannot buy it.  I recently signed a contract with a production company called Filmjack productions for this script.  The production company is going to remake the film and hopefully you will see it in your local video stores soon.

I visited your site, Jason, and I'd like to throw a suggestion at you.  Don't use upper case 'E' through out your site.  It's distracting.  I understand the significance of it, but it makes things annoying to read.

Thanks for the advice, Phil.

However, after selling the script, I am letting the website die.  I'm sure that the producer will want to make his own website done by professionals.

This script has recently been sold, and it should be going into production in March.  I would greatly like to hear more feedback from members.  I would of course read scripts in return.  Thanks

I want to give everyone an update on "E".  It has been filmed and is currently in post production.  You can view the trailer at http://www.myspace.com/manjemovie
The new title is Manje, and the script was re-written numerous times, but "E" is the original!!


Thanks everyone!

P.S. I have an IMDB credit now!!

Thanks Don!

Simply Scripts actually made it all happen!  The producer, Chris Morgan, read E on Simply scripts and contacted me!  Thanks Simply Scripts!

Now if we can just get someone to read Man in the Mirror.....lol.

Congratulations Jason!
You must be very happy and very proud! Good job! i started to read E and so far it looks interesting.
Good luck!

Hi Jason.
I read it and i must say that dialogs and grammar are not your best "things" but the idea was very original and very interesting for me, and i think that it (the idea) is the most important in the movies. Directors can change the dialogs but they can't do nothong with bad ideas.
i will read your another work too later when i'll find the time...
Good luck.
