The movie that we start shooting in December is called DAMNED (one word title for ya, Vod) and it is about innocent people getting blindsided by trouble. It's also an old school 1950's style socio-political allegory while delivering a very 21st century visceral punch.
It's the first produced credit of mine that I'm really proud of. :D

Sci-fi promised you the tape would never go out, but now the entire world knows the humiliating things you agreed to... Wow... Screenwriting sounds alot like porn.... I have to admit, i am terrified that some of what i am working on will get sold, then end up in the hands of someone like Paul Anderson or Uwe Boll and they will suck the soul out of it and turn my vivid, beautiful dreams into boring shit....

You could always take drama courses and learn how to be a director. As a former drama student, directing is quite fun. It's its own little creational process.

That's something I'm sure most screenwriters fear. "No God no! Not Uwe Boll! Well... Guess my career is over..." *puts shotgun in mouth & pulls trigger*

I know the remake thing drives people nuts, but my partner and I are up for the job to write the remake of THE STEPFATHER. I loved the original, but totally see room for updating and improving this one.

Not all are bad though. The Hills have eyes was great, and i was sure it was going to be crap.
The right writer, the right director, anything can be good.

I also really liked the Dawn remake & the TCM remake despite not seeing any reason for those two movies to be redone in the first place.
I watched Kraken last night ROd. How much of you story was left in there? Any? I was actually enjoying it quite a bit all the way up until the very end. I thought the way the giant squid was killed at the end was pretty anti-climactic, but overall I was entertained. Sci-Fi had a nice little creature marathon going on yesterday.

I turned Kraken off halfway through.
They kept some of the themes and scenes I wrote but eliminated most. In my draft the squid lived near a freak wave spot off the coast of Gibralter. The combo of the huge repeating wave and the squid was the real life insiration for the legend of Scilla & Charibdis. The whole story was supppoes tyo take place where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic. The spot was a nautical graveyard, where a Nazi sub lay beside a Phonecian ship and various watercraft throughout the ages. In my draft, the heroine gets her eye poked out by the bad guy(not Maxwell Odemus?) - in her fianal scene she had an eyepatch, sexy. Also our climax involved the Squid fighting a Sperm Whale (staight out of old sailor's lore) and our heroes trapped in a seacave with a rising tide and surrounded by a hundred very hungry little baby squids. Didn't watch the end, but I'm guessing that wasn't in it. Really embarassing :o I didn't think they were going to put my name on it. can't wait for DAMNED to start shooting so I can put this SciFi shit behind me!

They put your name in the credits? What'd you get? A writing credit? Story credit? Something else?
Your ending (and story) sounds better. The way this ended was the 2 main good characters & the 1 main bad character were in a standoff on the last remaining floating boat. The Bad guy had the girl at gunpoint then the squid came up and pulled them both into the water & killed the bad guy. The squid then attacked the good guy who managed to trap a tentacle in some kind of cable roller of some sort and then proceeded to shoot the squid about a dozen times and it died. :rolleyes: Then his boat started sinking so he got on the liferaft and as he drifted, he heard the good girl yelling for help. He pulled her into the raft and they floated until morning before getting rescued. Like I said, pretty anti-climactic.
