Script of the Week Launch

Almost 4 months ago now I launched a “Pilot Script Week“, sharing with you for a week the pilots of some of the most anticipated shows of this year’s and next year’s season.

As you know, finding current TV (and for that matter upcoming Movie) scripts is quite hard, but I was fortunate enough to get my hands on several scripts that I deemed interesting (and wanted) enough to share them.

That is why I am launching a new section on the right called “Script of the Week” which will offer each week (hopefully) a new TV/Movie script.

The first step to good screenwriting is a good scriptreading.

Tune in tomorrow for the beginning of Script of the Week!

Bonjour WGA

Film France is launching with the WGA a program named France Unlimited Access which allows 10 WGA writers to go on an 8-day tour of, you guessed it, France.
Well, actually Paris and the South of France.
The first tour will be held between Nov. 6 and Nov. 13 with John August, Michael Brandt, Michael Dougherty, Derek Haas, Edward Neumeier, Duncan Tucker and Rita Hsiao.

As you might have also guessed, the aim is to promote France as an appropriate setting for future movies. And what better way to start but with the writers.

August has dedicated a post on this and has kind of spurred somewhat of a debate.
On what you might ask.
Well, some people seem to believe that “relocating” so to speak, say, 10 features in France, will somehow affect the global American economy.

Is that the most ridiculous statement you’ve heard all week or what?

Anyway, since it’s for “business” (in France!), the screenwriters probably won’t do any screenwriting seminars and such here unfortunately.
And since I don’t know where they are in Paris, I won’t be able to stalk them. :(

Hulu rocks on

FOX has done it.
Sho has done it.
Even Spike TV has done it.

And now, NBC is finally beginning to join the online early-screening club by releasing a week early on Hulu the season premiere of 30 Rock.

Personally, I’ll wait another week to see the epi in glorious HD, but feel free to enjoy the premiere over here.

Who’s betting that, thanks (but no thanks) to Sarah Palin, 30 Rock is gonna break records come next week?
