anyone have contact info by chance... publicist, etc...

or know of which production companies he traditionally works with...

[magicghost2977]

thanks CE

figures he'd be one of yours :)

I know there have been threads about contacting talent... Is writing the agency acceptable or is it just as fat a chance as querying?

How often do directors look at projects... I believe he's slated for "Two minutes to midnight" ?? for 2007?

[bigshoo]

Yeah, he's attached to TWO MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT - which should be pretty good with Adrian at the helm.

Hey CE, I'm curious. what do you know about this script?

[bigshoo]

Everything.

What do you want to know?

Here's the pitch:

A ruthless divorce attorney scrambles to find his kidnapped wife before he must pay the ransom: his suicide.

Thanks. Do you know if this was a pitch or a spec?

[bigshoo]

It was an untitled pitch. The guy has a good head for concepts.

He's like a superman. He's sold a handful of pitches and a spec to Leo DiCaprio. He wrote the successful remake of THE LONGEST YARD and has done lots of rewrites (like SNAKES ON A PLANE). He was slated to write MAGNETO, the X-MEN spin-off. Not sure what's up with that project.

Thanks for the info - I asked because I wanted to know what "insiders" believed to be the truth about this project. The press releases and trade articles have not quite been accurate.

This was originally set-up at Disney with Michael Bay attached - Look up "Untitled Bay Thriller" or "King's Ransom". It is a rewrite by the screenwriter you mentioned. The concept and original screenplay was written by a friend of mine.
