Month: October 2002

The day not the movie. Sent Scarecrow to John Hegeman this morning. That’s the producer I said I wouldn’t do a second pass for. Eh, I wimped out. He’s supposed to give me his notes quick so I can turn it around to Revolution.
Trick or Treating at the Loreys tonight. Should be fun.
A buddy of Dean’s from work, Jim Vallely is neighbors with the guy who exec produces “Enterprice”. Jimmy’s gonna try to get me a meeting with Braga next week. I know of Braga from my FvsJ days. He and his partner made a pass on the team up years ago. Might be fun to work in TV.

Got my notes from the producers. All and all I thought they were good notes. Of course, I got railed slightly. They want me to address the notes then send the new draft to another producer in New York before giving it to the studio. Told them no. Told them to give him the present draft along with the notes they are having me address. Don’t think they liked that but if they wanted him to read it then they should have given it to him. I’m not doing two free passess.
Mel and I are going bowling with Chris and the girls tomorrow night.

General Meeting today with Amanda Klein. She and her partner are starting Primal Films. We talked scary stuff. Not sure anything will come of it but she was very nice.

Went to Disney with the Loreys this weekend. I love the Rich Rat. Lines were short. It was fun.

Messenger’d Scarecrow to the producers today. Jason Shuman, Lauren and the other guy. They were very excited to get it so early.
Overall, I like them. They have a horror coming out soon and a lot seems to be riding on its success. It’s called the Tooth Fairy or was. I think now it’s called Darkness…Falls. I think it is Falls. Shuman and the other guy are partners and Lauren is their creative exec. Shame that I can never remember the other dude’s name. His pop is one of the big four at Revolution.
Sending my draft of Past Tense to Nicole tomorrow. Will be nice to follow this latest gig up with a spec.
