How can you write if one of your characters is in disguise for a short time so others won't recognize him/her? For instance, in one of my screenplays, there is a scene where a character named Jeremy approaches one of the main characters while disguised. His aim is to lure him/her into a trap...

Birdman, This is wonderful news indeed! Finishing a screenplay is a great achievement, if made by professional standards, with serious work and study behind it, and not just for fun or out of boredom. I remember reading some of your posts in which you said your script was well over 120 and even...

In my screenplay, the main character has to find some items hidden in three different locations(cities). It's not easy choosing them...:) Could one of them be a city close to my own hometown(outside United States)...? I've been there in college and with other occassions, so I know many of its...

Just some examples of the reviews I got from various websites(not from professional review services out there)...: "Slayer of Mage and Sorcerers is a very poor title for a very poor effort" "The dialogue is mostly pretty lame but does get a little better toward the end" "He goes around killing...

It's about a character who reads a book about a murder and becomes a copycat murderer. Or not, depending on what you want to do...:) Or, if you want it to be a horror, the book itself makes him want to kill someone. He resists, but the book keeps giving him evil thoughts and he just can't stop...

I just thought about them, just for fun...:) They are unusual because you don't ask them or at least very few have " dared" asking(I've never read them on the internet, but this doesn't mean they aren't there.). Like I've said, it's just for fun... So, let's begin: 1. You don't live in Los...

I'm sorry for the title, didn't mean to be arrogant or something, I just didn't want to have a very long title...:) It was supposed to be :,, How can you convert a spec screenplay into a commissioned one, and is this thing possible"?. I mean, can a producer/studio hire you to rewrite your own...

-Make it more than 100 years ago(think thousands of years) or make everything happen in a fictional world. This way the 100 years timeframe could work. -There are no enemies. Create some. Maybe some human group(fictional church or organization) doesn't want people to transcend there. They will...

Thank you for this reply!:) This cleared up many things for me and others who read this! I'm sorry that I was wrong on this..:(

No. I think it depends of several factors: 1)The screenplay must be made into a movie, or else nobody knows how well will it do at the box office! 2) The movie must do extremely well when released. It must have such high revenues and become so well-known an well-liked by the audience, that the...

I also have some ideas for sequels to a few of my screenplays, but I won't write them..:) I've read on the internet that you can choose to write a sequel(assuming your script is bought and made) if you want, for an additional sum of money. I think it's far less than for the script itself. I've...
