Starting to get nervous

I’ve done a boatload of work since wrapping Scarecrow and everything has ended in passes. But not just right-off-the-bat passes. Slow, work-heavy passes. The kind of passes that require me to meet with half a dozen different producers and/or execs before I get to the guy with the power to say yes…and then he passes.
I read a script that has been stilled at New Line. I forget the name. It’s a thriller and the two producers were big fans of Riddle. It’s actually a pretty good script. It has the possiblity for a very strong female lead but she doesn’t exist at the moment. Problem is, it sounds like New Line is tired of the project and that my going in would be a last ditch effort. But I can’t be too choosy. I’ve worked up a pitch and I’ll conference call with the producer’s tomorrow.
Also meeting with Lori Tilkin of Tiger Hill tomorrow. I ran into her last month at E3. Video games could be fun. No doubt I’m a big fan and now the gaming industry is spanking the movie biz in revenue.
