We pitched Jennifer Klein and her staff yesterday and eh…it went bad from the moment we entered the room. Jennifer felt pressured into taking the meeting before Christmas and had passed before we even got there. We, of course, told a great story and they admitted it was a great story but the budget issue came up and our agents had the pass before we even got downstairs.
Today was Beth Babyak at Morgan Creek and again everyone knew Patrick and everyone loved Stuart. But they loved the pitch and for the first time no one mentioned the underwater stuff. Of course, that threw us off. We’ve heard it so often to not have it mentioned made us wonder if they were aware that it would actually be a challenge. A challenge that certainly has fixes but not mentioning it was a worry.
So far we have heard back from everyone we’ve pitched except for Glenn Williamson. All passes. I’m assuming Glenn will pass as well. But we hit the big guns after Christmas. Dreamwork, Bruckheimer, Cameron. It’s not over yet.
