I worked on it for a year. The story of a dumb yet earnest border guard who is deported to Mexico and has to try and sneak back into the US. I finished the script last week and sent it to my manager for a read. My plan was to target Gary Sanchez. I could see everything unfolding. The day we went out with it. The back and forth phone calls. The resulting bidding war. Dollar bills falling from the sky...
And then this happened: http://www.deadline.com/2014/04/will...border-guards/
Same concept. Exactly.
I'm sick to my stomach. I can't move. One year. Gone.
I don't know why I'm writing this. Maybe someone out there has had a similar heartbreak and can make me feel better. I keep asking myself "why didn't you finish it sooner? why did it take you a whole f--king year?"
Anyone out there have this happen? Or am I to wallow in self-pity alone.
