CO-AUTHOR. SURPRISE ATTACK PRESS. 2009
This book is about the magic of movies. About reaching to a higher standard. About daring to dream. About making movies awesome again. We dare you to read any one of the potential oscar winners presented here in rough treatment format and say that they wouldn’t be awesome movies. We fucking dare you.
Funny thing about making a dare like this, sometimes someone will take you up on it. So back in 2001 Allen and I worked at Playboy in Beverly Hills, and that often meant not actually working at Playboy but instead hanging out at a coffee shop near the Playboy Offices drinking coffee and writing down our brilliant ideas for movies. Some of them we posted online on an old version of my blog which has been lost to the ages, others we collected into a collection which we sent around to some publishers who we expected would soon be in a heated battle with each other over who would get the rights to publish it while we counted zeros on massive fat checks. Instead they told us the writing was “childish” and no one would ever want to read it. So we put them into an ebook (which was in fashion at the time) and said “we’ll show you!” and no one ever read them. And now apparently that ebook site doesn’t have it anymore either. I spent a few seconds searching the archives here to see if I had the foresight to repost anything in the new system when the old system died, and I guess I did but only 2 of the 20 or so that we wrote. Which is maybe a good thing? Enjoy. – s
