    New concept!!

    Now if the brothers hook up in a bar - get into a fight and their worlds unravel/deterioates as the night goes as they struggle all over town with various characters/incidents until they come to the point where they aill KILL each-other BUT put there guns away and grow enough to fight together...

    How do I tell if a script is long enough on paper compared to film?

    I believe I've advised you before but in case I haven't - triggerstreet.com is the best place for you. Buy Trottiers Screen Bible for format - sit in a chair for a month and write it. All the best, Jim.

    Am I being screwed here?

    Am I being screwed here?

    How about you tell him that because you're doing it together you'll give him a "co-direted by" credit - all the best 50% is better than 0% especially, if he walks and at all comes to a halt. Put it down to experience and carry on 'learning' - all the best, Jim.

    Should I follow the three act structure?

    H44, place your love interest somewhere 'early' to be paid off later, whichever way you choose BUT if you can add some irony in doing, which relates directly with your theme - fantastic!
