Lex Stiles Macaluso's Lounge Discussions

Charlie, Gen, Rebecca - thank you all for jumping in and helping out! Do consider that this post is 7 years old, though, so keep in mind that the original inquiry is moot.

Kay, Gen found Gutenberg... seven years is a long wait to find that out! lol!

gotta start looking at post dates.

Harold Vandyke I get what you're saying as I'm myself in a similar situation. My question is if one gets inspired by something they watched and that new idea would generate money to the original owner of the rights, why not work with that "new" writer? and create something.

I'm receiving a lot of "don't even try" which I find very negative and creativity obstructing. Just because I wanna use a (minor) character from another show doen't make my writing less orginal. I think.

Damn. Now I'm wanting to see it from that perspective. Seems it would be more intriguing coming from that angle. Enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.

I think it was a great film killed by marketing. All the advertising painted like a thriller when it was just a good love story.

The audience that turned up hated it.

The advantage is the audience would get the full impact of what Jen feels. The downside is it wouldn't make Chris Pratt a sympathetic character. Someone explaining why they did a terrible deed is unlikely to garner much sympathy. Having the Chris Pratt scenes showed as a flashback has problems: It's either showed as him telling her about what he went through, why should she believe him, or as an accurate portrayal of what happened, takes away from her emotional impact of what happened. The last proposal for an ending would make for a good basis for a franchise or TV series. How different people react to a horrible situation.

I absolutely love this perspective!!!

PASSENGERS scored $100M domestic and $200M international for $300M total. Nearly a three time ROI. Hardly a bomb financially. It's certified fresh by audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, though barely, and a solid 7 on imdb. It did not fare as well with critics

Polarization is due to the controversial deception by Pratt. The script as written works fine. Audience reaction depends on how that deception is accepted.

James would you PLEASE stop smamming!!!!

Stage 32 deleted James' account, Lex.

Hi Lex, the rights to Supernatural, any spinoffs, and the characters are likely held by the CW/Warner Brothers and the creators of the show. You would need to buy the rights (or their permission) to sell a project based on a character from the show. Might be best as the others suggested to use this as a writing sample or fanfiction.

Sure, Lex! I'd watch.

Hey guys. I've got a question for the staff team here... I just received an email to apply to send in our tv script to the Warner Bros... My question is, if I send in a TV pilot containing characters that they already have the rights to... What happens? If hey like it would they just keep it and use it without involving me at all?
