Added GRAND THEFT AUTO by Jason Dean Hall (06/06/08). I assume it’s based on one, some, or all of the Grand Theft Auto videogames, and seen as how I love those games I figured it might be a good read. Hopefully when I’m done reading some of my Eszterhas scripts I’ll find time for this one.
THE DETAILS script added
Just got another one, this time it’s THE DETAILS by Jacob Aaron Estes (06/12/08). According to joblo.com the film is about a couple who find a raccoon infestation in their backyard, and disagree about how to deal with the problem, which in turn creates more problems. Elizabeth Banks, James McAvoy, Laura Linney, and Anna Friel are set to star.
If anyone’s reading this and has a suggestion on how I should make posts regarding new scripts so that they aren’t just one sentence posts, let me know. If no-one cares, I’ll probably just stick to the format I’ve used in this headline so that people can differentiate between the various posts for new scripts.
New script
Just got DEATH NOTE (04/07/2009) by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides in. I don’t know anything about it, but it’s nice to add stuff to my collection.
YOU AGAIN script
Just got the script for Kristen Bell’s upcoming Disney flick, YOU AGAIN.
Apparently it’s about a girl (Bell) who discovers that her brother is marrying a girl who bullied her in high school. Sounds like a gender reversal of Mr Woodcock. I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt because of my genuine love for Kristen Bell, but I’m not expecting much.
TOY STORY 3 script impressions
This is my first attempt at reviewing a script on my new blog, but I’m not even going to pretend to be good at analysing a script. What I’m going to do instead is give general impressions of the scripts I read with some broad reasons why I like or dislike it.
So, the script I have for TOY STORY 3 is an early draft which has apparently been discarded for a completely new story. I think with the standards that Pixar has set for itself with it’s catalogue of films, that this is actually a good thing. That’s not to say that the story isn’t any good, I just don’t think it matches up to the level of quality that we all expect from a Pixar flick.
New scripts
It’s a great day. After roughly one year of looking, I just got Male Pattern Baldness in. I also got the newly announced Hesher which is set to star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Natalie Portman and Rainn Wilson.
GANGLAND – Alex Tse
HESHER – Spencer Susser
MALE PATTERN BALDNESS – Joe Eszterhas
New scripts
Just got these in. I’m looking forward to reading Superguys if only because I’ve always liked Breckin Meyer.
FORBIDDEN PLANET – J. Michael Straczynski
SUPERGUYS – Breckin Meyer
