They misunderestimate me.
- real George Bush quote
Ive got a new spec thats out there looking for a home. But the studios are scared of it.
Its a big metaphysical thriller, but it doesn't hide its themes in metaphor, the way the Matrix uses computers as metaphor. My film is quite clearly, balls-out, about drugs and death and God and the meaning of life.
And at the same time its a kick-ass action thriller.
So the action movie part is getting me into rooms with Bruckheimer and James Cameron and Ridley Scott. But the God, death and drugs part is freaking the studio people out, and they just dont know what to make of me, or what category to put me in.
Luckily, Ive got a couple producers who have fallen in love with the script. A few of whom are trying to set me up with assingments, and one who says he plans to get this film made if it takes him ten years. Which would be lovely, of course. But I dont have my fingers crossed.
So Im just here, writing my ass off on all these different projects, and trying to figure out how Im going to pay my rent next month.
i don't know how to do anything else but write. but i've been on the cusp of a real career for so long, and i thought this time was it.
well, i'm not ready to go teach at some community college yet. and i'm having too much fun in LA after four months of NYC snow to feel an urge to compain about anything.
that's me now, here, today.
how are you?
