"The Rock has come BACK"...we'll, not as awesome as TeamBringIt stomping all over the show but in my personal war of bringing foot to arse, I can happily report I have FINALLY finished my latest screenplay.
"Why are YOU so fuckin' happy?" You may ask, well...this one has been a toughie. I've tried to write at least one a year, and I did...till I began to write this ball-buster of a feature which I began tackling on 23rd September 2008 on the back of a successful pitch at a script writing seminar. And yes, oh dear it took 3 years to write. Now, its not the Godfather by any means but generally this was down to other "commitments" and the like. But a large chunk was down to the story, the tone, and the struggle to write an anarchic black comedy heavy on the violence, light on being P.C that didn't end up being a Troma film.
I haven't read it over yet but I know instantly what needs to go, what needs to change. The first 60 pages seems to be a mess but the rest seems clear and concise as it clocks in at 150 pages (WHOA!). But that's the future. The big thing now is that it's done, that all important 1st draft is done. The hard work of refinement begins now.
Addition to this, while feeling like it was a large rock on my shoulders creatively (twat!) that has now lifted, its time for the Red Planet Prize competition. No chance of getting anything out of it, but 2012 is just gonna be the year of hammering the comps and festivals...and also making something again after the 2Weeks2Makeit endeavour last year.
Kicking a mud-hole into 2012's bitch ass mo'fucker as Xzibit would say. Rather...
See ya on the flip side...Danny.
