In one of my screenplays, there is a scene where the main character is beaten and rendered unconscious and when he recovers, his hands are tied against a wall. From what I've read, it isn't allowed to use " ing" or "ed" verbs in a screenplay. I wrote the sentence: " David's hands are cuffed...

First of all, I would like to apologize for replying so late, but I just saw your reply! Here are the links to those websites I wrote about...:) http://hollywoodpitcher.com/ https://www.moviepitcher.com/ www.greenlightmymovie.com And this is the link for the movie idea contest I found...

I found some websites where you can send movie ideas to producers and agents or managers, without the " need " of having a screenplay. They accept scripts, if you have them, but their focus is solely on ideas. You submit your movie idea(for a price) and, if people are interested, they'll buy...

Note: These are the two titles I thought of, I don't know which one is good...:) Sewer 9, located just outside a big city, provides shelter for a group of homeless persons. Among them is Jack, a former Navy SEAL soldier. Jack and Diane Jackson " DJ", a superior officer, had a secret...

One of my screenplays is similar to a movie which is about to be released...There are differences, but there are also many similarities. Does it mean I should give up on that screenplay?(eg: no longer re-write it, don't submit it nowhere, delete it, etc.)? I was really fond of that particular...

These are just ideas I had today...There would be a kind of series called " writing challenges" Each such challenge has two parts: a)A dialogue scene: For this part, there is a given situation and the requirement is to write the best dialogue you can for its characters to solve it. b)An action...

I recently got a screenplay software and started to write a screenplay using it. At first, I didn't notice it had a print function, only an " export script". I exported it into word and printed it from there( in pdf). A few days later, I found the print button, but the resulting pdf is only 43...

The story begins with two battle scenes that just switch back and forth: one is a modern day SWAT assault on an airport occupied by terrorists. The other one is an RPG-like assault on an icy mountain(with swords, arrows, magic, etc.). The first hero, despite ordered to back off, plunges his team...

1. I know that having success as a screenwriter is almost impossible, so just curious: If you write and direct a screenplay, do you stand a better chance at this? For instance, do filmmakers with more than just scripts have more success or is it just as hard for them to have a career in...

Very interesting idea!:) It's not the only such creepy story: http://www.oddee.com/item_98954.aspx PS: If you write this script/if it gets made, I hope it won't be cursed as well!:)))

Just read it: http://goodinaroom.com/blog/great-query-letter-hoax/ (ps: hope it isn't considered spam or advertising. I have nothing to do with that website). I haven't sent any query letters yet, since my screenplays aren't good enough to start thinking about this...:)

Note: This movie happens in a fictional land/world Story: The king of the land has great news: The queen, his wife, is to give birth to a child soon. Everyone is happy about this, except the Army Leader, the king's most trusted general. He long wanted to remove the king and put his own son(29...

On some pages, the minimum is 90 pages and some say it can have as little as 85 pages. Other web pages say this is too short and the minimum page length is 110-115...Which of these ideas is right? Thank you for reading and answering this!:)

More landscape(not just snowy mountains and caves). More enemies(minions, could be other vikings who, being under the wizard's or dragon's spell, are now fighting against your hero/main character and various supernatural Norse-mythology inspired enemies) A story behind all this Epic...

How many pages should a screenplay have after the villain is defeated? In some of my scripts, the villain loses before I reach the 90 pages minimum and I had to add some extra pages with story...Is this ok? Should a screenplay end shortly after the main enemy is defeated, or can it continue...

I've posted some of my screenplays on various review sites and one of the things I was told over and over again is that they read more like video games... This made me have a few questions: If someone sells a script that gets made into a movie and then someone wants to make a video game based...

Maybe not for free, if need be, but how do you think they'll react?
