An original horror called 'Devil'. Made me kind of wonder though, why didn't they pitch that in the Hollywood Reporter pages.<br /><br />Anyway, I have noted that some crowdfunding campigns revolve around 'fan films' although this case of Waynes World 3 is a different case. It is also a slap in the face to filmmakers/writers who have a completed script and are struggling to get original films made.<br /><br />A few years ago, i tried out the Amazon site, for example. One part of that is that your script is put in a pool of 'script wars', where your logline is put up against another writers. or something like that. Aspiring writers on the site can vote for the movie they would be more interested in seeing.<br /><br />My work stood no chance in hell against the likes of a Batman script, an Alien vs Predator script and other "spec scripts" based on existing IPs. Yeah, i would love to see a new Batman movie more than I would my own unknown yarn. But that said, this was Amazon and I wasn't expecting much anyway. I basically wanted to try out the storyboard app.<br /><br />What bugs me the most about fans writing scripts based on existing IPs isn't the fact that they don't have the rights to do it, although that's bad enough- but that most of them are badly written overall. Not just in grammar or structure, but oddly enough, they make the characters they love so much act out of character, or break the rules of that world set up by that franchise.<br /><br />As far as your post- yes, it is a shame movie news blogs have ran the story when there really isn't one. Added to the fact that the writer didn't have a full script (existing Ip or not) when he made a pitch. Didn't have an existing script when he got those rejection letters. That speaks for itself, and not in a good way.<br /><br />And folks wonder why there's critics when it comes to crowdfunding campaigns.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03173416125918691702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-23915385103468185032016-02-29T01:04:26.305-08:002016-02-29T01:04:26.305-08:00In the rush to think they've got a scoop or ge...In the rush to think they've got a scoop or get in there 'first', a lot of the websites you mentioned there are publishing nonsense like this without checking the providence of what they've been told, or understanding how development works. I was disappointed to see sites carrying the 'I wrote the new Die Hard' 'story' from a certain individual who does this sort of thing frequently. Even if you know nothing of the industry, even the most cursory / rudimentary Google search into background reveals the truth and so you wonder how such articles even got considered or anywhere near a 'publish' button.manfromthezoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05815287486677752435noreply@blogger.com
