“Riddle” finally went out. Lots of interest from producers who sent it on to the studios. Lots of passes from studios. They passed either because it was too dark or because of the ending. But I have numerous meetings set up.
Yesterday I met with Dana Shelbourne and Susan Levin from Silver Pictures about a script called the “Blue Nowhere”. It’s a great script. Very similar in structure to Riddle. Many of the same elements of the computer world. It went well. Said they were going to talk to Keven McCormick, the exec from Warners.
McCormick was a fan of “Riddle Me This”. There’s still a decent shot he or a smaller production company could pick up Riddle.
Today I have a meeting with Kevin Lake of Icon Productions to discuss “Lock Box”. It’s not a very good script. In my opinion, it would require a page one rewrite. Not sure if they want to do that. Not sure if I want to do that. Whatever I decide, I’ll shoot him straight.
Those were the only two scripts to consider for rewrite, but I have several meetings throughout the rest of this and next week.
Back to the spec. What an ulcer inducing experience. Next time I send out a spec I’m going to Disneyland. No way will I hang around here waiting on phone calls.
It’s hot. Summer has finally hit. Fortunately it hit around a month or so shy of its cooling off. I look forward to sweaters and winter.
