I have a producer who wants to develop one of my screenplays in a direction of his choosing and then take it out with himself attached as producer. Problems include he has no option money (I'm assuming he's doing on his own - outside of the company he works for) and wants part ownership of the project - even if he doesn't get it set up.
The only reason to even consider this at all is - I did the Venice Arts route and he was the only person to respond strongly to the material and want to do something with it. So it's not like I'm tying the script up and missing out on a potential sale.
Would someone please tell me: Am I an idiot? Should I keep looking for a sale?Will this lead to something down the road if I do it?
