        A good example of unpaid over-development?

          I still don't understand this. The writer's managers at Abstract Entertainment go out wide with a script, but already have producers attached? Isn't that kind of like "two too many mouths to feed" before the project goes out the door?

            Has anybody read SHRAPNEL? Both of these scripts sound like they explore a similar idea. SHRAPNEL was on last years blacklist, and was one of the best action/ thriller scripts I read all year.

              In this case, the Producers developed the project. We agreed to help the writer with representation and the guys at Abstract signed him off our referral, so we were producing before they started repping him.

              On the question of "too many mouths to feed". It depends on how strong the relationships between the producers and the individual companies are.

              If a producer has relationships with the companies and they are confident he can produce the movie at a certain price and execute it, then having that producer on board would add value for those companies. If they don't have a relationship, it could take away value, possibly making it too expensive, every relationship is an individual case.

              Also, there are producers who actually know how to make movies, i.e., actually produce, and there are producers who are really just independent development folks, who set up projects but don't really produce them. It varies from producer to producer.

                I thought SHRAPNEL was good, but basically just a rehash of THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME, right? (and the "payoff" was a bit of a letdown) But Daugherty landed with the Energy, so good for him.
