We met with Glenn this afternoon. Patrick and I ran through the pitch in even more detail. Our regular pitch takes about 30 minutes so to lengthen that is saying something. Most pitches are 10 minutes tops before you lose executive attention. But for Narcosis we said, “Screw it”.
Anyway Glenn and Margerie had pretty good notes. All of which Patrick and I had considered and discarded for one reason or another but then there was one note that Margerie had that was brilliant. One of those where you go, “I wish I’d thought of that.” But she’s on our team so it don’t matter. Glenn even mentioned an underwater town that was built in Mexico and used for the movie “In Dreams”. The water didn’t seem to frighten them at all. The plan is to now go in and pitch the guys at Focus where Glenn used to work. I think he was one of the big-wigs over there.
Tomorrow night was to be a birthday party for Sean Cunningham. I was actually going to go even though I’d rather eat my own leg as have to talk to his evil girlfriend but then Sean’s brother passed away and the party was postponed. Odd though. I was actually looking forward to seeing Sean. After everything we went through I still can’t help but like the dummy.
