7/10/2011--Huge Script Page Overhaul!
Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2011 1:40 am
Get out your reading glasses, folks--because this update is a doozy:
MODERATOR'S NOTICE: Because of this overhaul, we've now moved the script discussion topics into their own sub-forum, which can be found here: Early Script Discussion)
* Finally, we have a couple of updates for the Media: Reception sub-section:
o Effects don't impress as video game plays to big screen by Joe Holleman
o Mario Bros. Is Anything But Super by Matt Brunson (by the way, thanks to Mr. Brunson for providing us his review!)
So, you guys have got some light reading to do. And trust me, you'll want to because it will enhance your understanding of a future update...
Also, I have to throw out a totally shameless and unrelated plug. Vicious Cycle's Earth Defense Force: Insect Armaggeddon recently shipped for the Xbox 360 and PS3. It's a total blast, and worth picking up for $40. Pick up a copy if you want to support my new job!
- * The Pre-Production: Scripts sub-section has been extensively updated. Not only do the two scripts previously available have updated information and overviews, but we also have TWO new scripts available for your viewing pleasure:
o For the very first time, experience Parker Bennett and Terry Runté's original first draft of the Morton/Jankel concept.
o Then, make your way through Dick Clement and Ian la Frenais' initial revision of the Bennett/Runté draft (the original draft of theirs posted on the site is actually their second revision).
o And speaking of that second revision, we actually have Annabel Jankel's script notes on Clement and la Frenais' first draft--and you can see her suggestions implemented in their second draft.
o Also, if you're a bit too busy to read through the new scripts, Ragey from Random Action Hour has provided us with some excellent detailed synopses for each script. Heck, read 'em even if you've read the scripts:
# Original "Fantasy" Script: Detailed Synopsis
# Initial "Ghostbusters-influenced" Sci-Fi/Comedy Draft
# Transitional "Die Hard-inspired" Sci-Fi/Action Draft
# Secondary "Mad Max-inspired" Sci-Fi/Action Script
