No, except that the main characters believe she is just simply crazy.

well, the thing is, for a critiqu to critisise, he needs to know the entyer story.
so far, i think it is an awesome story. althoug it's going to be a humoungous cliff hangr.


I know that I can't do what I want to do in just one movie. But I'm going to purposely leave the movie on a cliffhanger. It'll sucker people into going and seeing the next movie. :twisted: My hope is people are going to want to know what happens to Sid, what happens to Maury, and who the "You" is. That'll bring them to the second movie.

Tell me what you got. Any help would be appreciated. But first I have to finish writing it. So I'm not really ready to pitch the script or treatment to somebody. I just have a brief outline for the story, some of the script written, and I know where I want to go with the story and characters but i still have to find a way to get there.


My advice: Just finish it. By the time you do, you'll probably find that your original outline is a vague memory, just let the story go where it wants to go.

Once it's finished ask for help with it. I wouldn't mind looking over it myself. One of my next projects after the novel (another month and I should be about done with that, and working on that right now between jumping online) will be a screenplay(s) so I've been reading up on them.

Yeah, the general outline is great... it's probably just the small things that will need work.

My honest opinion is that the story and the characters seem pretty clichéd to me so far. But any story can be great depending on how it's presented and a great script can easily be destroyed by poor direction/acting/editing.

Right now I can see this as a cable TV movie series.

I recently watched Donny Darko. Have you seen that movie? It's amazing. If you want to add tension and mystery to a movie, that's the way to do it.

Yah. Last time I broke into one of those, the cops got all upset because I put a bouncer in a coma.
