Does Anyone Write Screenplays?

I agree, we should see samples, I for one would love the opportunity of seeing other peoples works-in-progress.

And anyone who has formatting or layout issues should get the free templates from bbc dot co dot uk slash writersroom slash scriptsmart

Maybe we'd need examples. And to us it wouldnt be as it appeared to you!

After all, isn't 'this place' for such feedback?

Well, there is examples of my prose in the critique section. I'll see what I can come up with in the way of screeplays....

I once had a go at writing a screenplay based on part of The Silmarillion. It was during my 'insanely ambitious' phase. I adapted the Beren & Luthien story and some bits, interestingly, weren't a million miles from the way Aragorn and Arwen ended up being treated in LOTR.

I did sort of finish it and I even sent it to Peter Jackson (this was around the time Fellowship of the Ring came out). I got a nice rejection letter on LOTR headed notepaper for my trouble.

It's still out there on the net somewhere, if any Silmarillion fans feel the urge to hunt it down. It was fun to do :-)

I've submitted a few scripts to a local TV station - they like the idea --- I don't like their price.

This should be of interest to any thinking on writing scripts
