Got a bunch of scripts

bibutbabyigetit · 03-24-2008, 07:47 PM

At one point, I was a budding screenwriter, but I sort of gave up that career to go into business. I guess one might call me a "businessgay" (my term)...I looked at the money screenwriters were making, and the writer's strike, and said, "Shit! This isn't the best time to pursue this."

I have done fan adaptations of many musicals into film format, mainly because my arrogant little white ass thinks anything they can do I can do better, including:

Sweeney Todd (I started this before Tim Burton and Johnny Depp decided they liked musical theatre enough to do a film of it, and I personally feel that while Depp is a hottie, it wasn't what it could have been)
Phantom of the Opera (yes, already made, but I felt that Joel Schumacher's 2004 film, while featuring yummy male leads, didn't stay true enough to the point of the story for me)
Rent (retitled No Day But Today, because in this case I felt that Chris Columbus' 2005 film, again while featuring yummy male leads [including at least one out-and-proud, Anthony Rapp], didn't stray far enough from the play for me)
Tanz der Vampire (translating from German, still a work in progress)
Godspell (dig religious imagery; in development)
Jesus Christ Superstar (always have a ton of ideas for this one; one day, I'll show you many, MANY drafts of this hot pepper)

Some day I hope to have an original idea. Till then, look out for these on this forum.
