    Re: Script questions !

    "Pan" is a reinvention of the Peter Pan mythos, with Captain Hook cast as a John McLane style Police Captain chasing a serial killer whose m.o. is all a dark twist on Peter himself. Clever and high concept, but it ran its course pretty quickly as far as I am concerned.

    "Waterloo" is also known as "The H-Man Cometh" - not sure which title came first in chicken/egg fashion. This is David O. Russell's long a-borning Vince Vaughn as a radio talk show host project. It is funny, but tailored very precisely to play to Vaughn's persona - not quite Fred Claus - but still panders a bit. Whether you like it or not will probably depend on your opinion of his style of comedy.

    "Twenty Billion" is a Peter Sellars style send-up of Bill Gates (one of the drafts was also written by Steve Gaghan). Was going to be a Mike Myers vehicle a loooooooooong time ago. Has some good bits with him trying to romance a girl in his completely clueless fashion, including taking her to his basement - where he has installed an entire mall food court since he never knows what he is going to want to eat.

          Hi Traxx

          Sounds like a few of those scripts are from last years Black List. You can find the loglines and basic info on a lot of them here -

            Can I ask why you're asking? It's an eclectic list. If you are looking for something specific in terms of genre or tone, it might help us to know.

              also Google is your friend -- a lot of those have Variety and Hollywood Reporter and blogger's writeups on them -- just punch the names into a search engine and voila! -- an answer comes up -- neat
