613509, Your boy gotta a rewrite job for a major studio for a major franchise...
Posted by bwood, Tue Jun-05-12 05:04 AM
Really excited and nervous at the same time. I'm currently writing two different versions of the same superhero with different main characters. It'll make sense once I'm allowed to reveal who it is. And I hope they use my drafts.
613511, that's the massive!

i take it they liked your demo?
613525, I wonder if he'll DV8 much from the source material?

613513, Massive! First WGA credit?

613526, seriously, though, congrats man, that's awesome
Posted by lonesome_d, Tue Jun-05-12 09:56 AM
from the way you word it, GL seems the obvious pick, and honestly, you'd write a perfect Kyle Rayner, if you ask me. Not sure the franchise would be getting to him just yet, but you never know.

Just saw the first GL movie, though, and it wasn't very good, so if that's your project there's nowhere to go but up.

come talk comics with us sometime! We might bite, but it's all in good fun.
613622, The Flash could be a possibility too?
Posted by buckshot defunct, Tue Jun-05-12 03:47 PM

613639, not a franchise (yet?), though
Posted by lonesome_d, Tue Jun-05-12 04:31 PM
hmmmm..... maybe Spidey, if Marvel's considering giving Miles a run at the silver screen?
613541, Congratulations!

First - congrats man - that is amazing!

Second, how did you wind up getting the opportunity? Have you been on the screenwriting grind for a long time, did you send in specs? Like alot of folks, you are living the dream most of have right now. I'm curious to hear how you broke through.
614314, I love seeing one of 'us' scratch one in the 'W' column.

Of course, I don't expect an answer. That's what I'm wondering though.

622732, Since I handed in my last draft 2 weeks ago...
Posted by bwood, Tue Aug-14-12 01:08 PM
...and they're bringing in another writer to follow suit and starting establishing the DC Universe I can say that it was The Flash. This was a fun and worthwhile experience. Writing this beast was tricky, it was fun and that's ultimately what I hope this movie turns out to be is a good time like The Avengers. The only problem the studio had was that my climax was way too expensive on each rewrite which is partially due to the villain which is The Weather Wizard (he's never called that in the movie). If this does go wrong I'll let you know how and what I wrote. I take responsibility for what I wrote. I just really hope the studio doesn't pull another Green Lantern (before Greg Berlanti came on and re-wrote it, it was a strong film).
622738, awesome, good luck man.

lol.

>Lantern (before Greg Berlanti came on and re-wrote it, it was

interesting. that's actually the exact feeling i got because i didn't hate the story or characters. it felt like a good movie that got rewritten to death.
622743, ONLY QUESTION THAT MATTERS: is his suit still kept in the ring?!?
Posted by celery77, Tue Aug-14-12 01:57 PM
622744, also, how many times is "speed force" said? more than 1? less than 5?
Posted by celery77, Tue Aug-14-12 01:58 PM
but seriously, that's rad, hope your work shines through.
622762, any Flash Facts?
Posted by lonesome_d, Tue Aug-14-12 04:20 PM
622745, Can you tell us if it's Wally or Barry? (Or Jay!?)
Posted by lc ceo, Tue Aug-14-12 02:05 PM
Will he be stricly meta, or will the Speed Force be at play?

Lastly, I know you said you're looking to make it a more fun movie in the vein of The Avengers...but was there any pressure from WB to create a movie that could/would be able to tie in to the Batman and Superman franchises? I know a JL flick (Ben Affleck was the last name I heard them looking at to direct) seems like a high priority for them. If that's the case, it wouldn't seem to make sense to commission a Flash movie and NOT throw in a few morsels to lay a foundation for a JL flick.
622766, Congrats...hope it stays intact and makes it to the theater!

congrats man, I'm sure it was a great experience. fingers crossed that some of your work stays in & you have more successes like this in the future.

sidenote, idk if talks have even gotten this far/you would know/you're allowed to say, but any word on who'll be playing Flash? it seems like a couple of years ago Ryan Reynolds was in talks to play Flash, Deadpool, AND Green Lantern.
624059, some prospects

As a matter of fact the plug informed me that parts of work will be used in upcoming drafts on whoever is writing this joint. I'll go uncredited which I'm happy with just in case they case they fuck up.

I'm glad they got Ezra Miller to play Barry

Congrats, man... and I know you'll do a great job!

(But i dunno, what with you saying you're happy to go uncredited... are you suggesting that things are already looking wack?)
687638, I don't really have great faith in WB handling DC properly.
Posted by bwood, Sat Oct-25-14 10:04 AM

Hope for the best, expect... not the worst, but certainly not the best. Faith is minimal.
687647, I don't have overwhelming faith either... which is why I had to ask.
