No. Hell No. Yes, "everyone uses everyone elses money", but the WGA should pass a rule that no prodco can
shop a spec script to a studio or partner until at least
an option contract has been signed between the writer
and the prodco. Would you want to see you movie idea in the next Miramax release? Prodco's could care less. Whose gonna sue them? The poor writer who can't afford an entertainment lawyer. Or as I have said before...your script is all ready received coverage at the studio and the prodco arrives the studio tin cupping for funds. Some geek Story Analyst thinks you script sucked and wrote bad coverage. The prodco walks in with your hot property and gets blown away by studio coverage report. There goes your deal.
Np payee. No shoppee. Clear and simple.
