the_don_of_yreka writes: on Dec 10 2007 12:34 PM i agree with recount. i think that will the most talked about script for next year. although i think you should added some of these scripts to the article that could be next year's awards hopefuls or box office hits: DOUBT by John Patrick Shanley %u201CA nun confronts a priest after suspecting him of abusing a black student.%u201D this one based on a play. i had an acting class that had this play. my hope is to see if i get the chance to direct it. i loved the drama that came out it. ARCADIA DISINHERITED by Adam Hutchinson %u201CThree brothers, displaced to a refugee camp after Hurricane Katrina, fight for each other's survival after one of them accidentally commits a crime.%u201D something i believe will find a following. this spells nomations. BFF by Chad & Dara Creasey %u201CA nerdy guy and a popular girl meet as high school freshmen. Over four years of high school, four proms and one funeral, they become friends and eventually fall in love.%u201D i loved this high concept screenplay. something i can relate to. i believe this could be a something like superbad but without the fowl language. ADVENTURELAND by Greg Mottola %u201CWhen an uptight recent college graduate realizes he cannot afford his European dream vacation, he is forced to take a minimum-wage job at a local amusement park.%u201D Greg Mottola is having a ball. superbad became the sleeper hit of the summer. i am looking forward to seeing this on the big screen. WORLD WAR Z by J Michael Straczynski %u201CA sober telling of the aftermath of a war fought against a legion of humans who were inflicted with a virus, died and were re-animated into flesh-eating zombies.%u201D (5 MENTIONS) i believe this is from a very popular book. my friends loved the book. seeing the big screen is so worth their money. ZOMBIELAND by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick %u201CAfter a zombie plague ravages America, a pair of %u2018odd couple%u2019 survivors team up to find purpose and combat the living dead in the post-apocalyptic Southwest.%u201D well well. something that could top the dawn of the dead remake. I WANT TO F--- YOUR SISTER by Melissa Stack %u201CA young man goes to great lengths to protect his younger sister from guys just like him.%u201D this could end up the next superbad. COXBLOCKER by Tim Dowling %u201CA guy meets the girl of his dreams, but her ex-boyfriend, who's now her best friend, keeps blocking his advances.%u201D this spells cult film. it wont make much money but find life on dvd. this is very relateable screenplay. and lastly... JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA by The Mulroneys %u201CThe exploits of the Justice League of America, an organization made up of the world's greatest superheroes: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash and Green Lantern.%u201D it pains me so how crappy the turn out rate on this movie. the casting,the director, and the sceenplay. i would love to see this movie scrapped. young people playing adult superheros? not gonna fly with me. thats it.
