View Full Version : Help with a new filmscript.
Sam Miguel 26-03-2004, 16:39 I wonder, could a few of you help me with a film script I am writing.
The film is called "Needles in the Cellar" and is concerned with one man's quest to conquer his self-doubts.
The film is due for general release in November provided I can get anyone interested in the script.
I just need three or four people to have a natural converation about football for the pub scene in which the landlord bars Willy.
I'll help too. Thanks.
Sam Miguel 26-03-2004, 16:48 'I reckon we'll trounce 'em! No chuffin' worries'.
DaBouncer 26-03-2004, 16:50 "Oi you roughian... why is one talking like one of those burberry hooligans??"
I think he is developing his script ... real time like DaBouncer ... maybe we're supposed to play along sam !?
"For sure matey !! ... an they sude deserve a good trouncin' don't ya think !?"
Sam Miguel 26-03-2004, 16:54 I'll get my thinking cap on.
The problem is I killed off the main character in the first scene. I might have to re-write that so he lives a bit longer.
I'll be back soon.
DaBouncer 26-03-2004, 16:55 "Would that be West Bromich Or Brighton/Hove Albion Old Boy"
*keels over and dies from laffing* (sorry ... last reply just killed me)
Sam Miguel 26-03-2004, 16:58 Er, I haven't really thought about it. I'll get back when I have done some more work on it.
Sorry for the delay.
Be back in a bit.
(Wife needs taking to supermarket).

Canaries. Fuerteventura looks nice.

*Camera zooms into Mary's eyes and blurs until white fade-out. When the picture returns and comes back and into focus, we see a sun-drenched beach in Corralejo with beautiful girls sunbathing on the sand.*
bulldog D 10-01-2005, 23:53 Mary suntanned in a white bikini lays outstretched in the golden sand, her blonde hair arranged around her head like a radiant halo reflecting the sunlights rays.
Jim stumbles over lilo's and children building sand castles while clutching a freezing cold beer.
And promptly pours some on Mary's tum.
'Arghhhh! yow stupid oaf wot yer do that for'
'The effect' replies a drunken Jim
Mary stands up grabs her beach towel and storms off the beach in the direction of the local bar, run by that legendary lothario Sam Miguel.
Sam see's Mary' predicament and immediately offers a bar towel to mop up her distress.
At that moment Freda arrives ..................

Ahhh, nothing like a buxom, xanthochroid, young lady in a bikini to sell a film. Hope she was wearing sunblock though!
