Film Rewrites
I've been looking at the film scripts which I have written over the years and my first observation is that many of them need some work. That work in most cases involves improving the comedy. Rather than continue writing half good scripts I am better off improving the older ones first. It's also practical because all of these which I wrote in the 90's were before mobile phones were a part of normal life.
1. THE VAMPYRE: WITH BLOOD & ROSES.
Story A young transyvanian guy takes his girlfriend to meet count Dracula.
This was my first script and it needs very little fine tuning so I can leave it for the moment. Actually it was my second script. The first was flushed down the toilet many years ago.
2. MY STREETKID
Story: A famous radio D.J finds a young female street kid hiding in his house. Years later I realised I'd plagarised Goldilocks. ( Just Kidding)
Has some major issues with the comedy aspect and this is my first project. In the first scene which goes for two pages I changed the last four lines and made something ho hum suddenly funny. The film script is not meant to be hilarious but that means I have to improve the jokes because the story is quite likeable. It's my attempt at a feel good story and for that reason I think it stinks.
3 LAST NIGHT OF THE FILTH.
Story: A print worker accidentally on purpose murders his boss and some of his workmates cover for him.
This is my best script has been drafted many times and is now ready to go.
4. WHEN BUSHPIGS COLLIDE.
A football team called the Bushpigs hire an agency to get recruits for their club for a weekend football carnival. However a mistake leads the agency to send a punk band called The Bushpigs in as the recruits. The band want the money so they pretend to be footballers but they are all hopeless.
I actully like the concept but the script although completed needs a lot of work.
KILL VICTOR GOLD
Story: Millionaire and celebrity doctor Victor Gold has upset gangster heavy weight Milo Krane so Krane orders his execusion. The doctor is left a paraplegic but whilst recovering invents and designs a body suit which enables him to walk.
What was i thinking. This is like a Marvel Movie super hero story.( It would probably make a zillion at the box office) I haven't looked at it for over ten years.
