I guess there's only one way to find out. If you think you've done the research, and if you're willing to take the risks, then I guess you're going to do it. I love a good fan film, and some of them are quite celebrated by their fandoms, and I hope everything works out for you.

You should check this film out. It's really good, and they made it on a pretty tight budget: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fstxHljhBkk You can pick up the movie at their website.

Good advice, rayw. I've never gone that far with outlining myself, but that's still a good formula to follow. I could stand to add a couple of those things to my own writing process in general. Not just with screenplays. I also find that it sometimes helps to take a break, and watch a favorite...

That's what I was wondering, too. If I was that eager to finish the thing, and there was no other way, I'd probably bite the bullet, scrounge up a few bucks and offer it as an incentive.

^Agreed, but I also agree that it still sucks. I'll never be a fanatic for the franchise, so this is never really going to bother me, but in the end it is indeed his right to say and do whatever he wants in regards to his property. It still seems to me like he has a rather strange grasp of...

Guess I better shave off that beard for that date we were gonna have? :lol:

Generally speaking, I like an absolute minimum of opening credits.

Oh, I like that a lot. Well said.

I could see that being entertaining, but you'd have to have a pretty spectacular comedic actor to pull the whole thing off, or I suspect people would say things like "Borat meets District 9.

Very cool to see things moving forward like this. Keep it up!

Good reviews and perspective, rayw. Hereafter: 3/5 -Another "good" Clint Eastwood movie. It was nothing special, but it was well-done and enjoyable. A good example of a movie with a strong opening, weak middle and good ending. That's about a 3/5 for me. The Treasure of The Sierra Madre: 5/5 -So...

Welcome! Glad to have you around. I haven't been around much lately, but you still couldn't ask for a better forum on filmmaking.
