Chillin'


For the last three weeks I've been working on a re-write of a script I cobbled together some five years ago(a horror movie, originally entitled Chiller). This time I'm working with a good friend who has some not inconsiderable standing in the industry and - as such - is really helping to turn this thing into a solid and pretty viable screenplay. Today we hit the midpoint and with any luck, in a few more weeks, we should have it done and dusted. What happens then is anyone's guess. It's been a really interesting time and, although we often have to battle with external forces beyond our control, when we're hammering on the keyboard, it really feels like the mojo is flowing.
As for the romantic comedy? Well, it looks like we may get a little help in the comedy stakes thanks to a writer considerably more experienced in that genre possibly lending a helping hand in the next few months. And in addition to that, there's a sniff of a well-known actor who's interested in reading the script when it's complete (who, funnily enough, is someone who we've always considered for the lead from the beginning).
As for Highlander? I've had a change of heart and will, at some point, continue to work on it. If there's one thing I've learned thus far it's that nothing is certain in this game, and just because the writer's of Iron Man have the ball right now, it doesn't mean it won't be back in play at some point in the future.
