There are 44 new or revised unproduced works up on the Unproduced Scripts page. Also, I neglected to point out a couple weeks ago an additional 30 new works up which can be found on the Previous Weeks Unproduced Scripts page.

On the Unproduced Scripts page we have Frank’s Sho Jin Bloo Warrior - “A warrior’s odyssey through prehistory Japan”, which is a series of twelve, five minute animated shorts.

On the Previous Weeks Unproduced Scripts page we have another episode of season 2 of Wesley’s Better Days series. In this episode Kenny has gone back to Therapy. Jason starts hanging out with an unlikely friend while Danielle and Holly get closer.

That not enough to hold you? There is a grand total of 70 unproduced scripts between the two pages that I’m sure you’ll find something of interest.

Tick, Tock - There are a little over 48 hours left to get your script in for the One Week Challenge. Just knock out a 15 page or less dramatic script on the theme “The guys at the post office are never gonna believe this” and send it in by 11:58 pm edt on Friday, July 25th. - Don

A young couple’s honeymoon is turned upside down with a murder, human expedition to planetoid with the energy potential to save mankind (yes, another game to script), Ironman 2, Wanted 2, School of Rock 2 and Script Girl flashes her rack.

The July, 2008 One Week Challenge

Quick rundown of the rules:

You have to write a script based on the genre and theme of the OWC. The script must be in a generally accepted screenplay format.

The script should be no more than fifteen pages. You have seven days (count the hours) to submit it to the One Week Challenge link. All scripts must be submitted by 11:58 pm eastern daylight time on July 25th. This link will help you determine what time it is eastern daylight time.
The authors’ name will be removed from the scripts for the first week (or so), and then will magically appear on them…as if by magic. Don’t say if you’ve entered.

Don’t start guessing who wrote what for at least a week.

No betting! This is a Challenge, not a contest. There are no winners (though, if you take the challenge, you are, in effect, a winner).

Don’t enter unless you intend to read some of these scripts.

And now for the theme and genre:

genre: drama

theme: “The guys at the post office are never gonna believe this.”

The quote should be in the script and it should bear significance to the story. Don’t just toss it in there.

Check out the Discussion Board for more information.

Thanks to BD for the heads up on this one. Jeffrey Wells over at Hollywood elsewhere has an excellent take on Hancock and the potential role that Akiva “I poop blockbusters” Goldsman had on the final movie. One HE readers shot over an early, early draft of Hancock noting, “It’s always frustrating to read movie reviews in which the writing is slammed. Screenwriters are easy targets, but they’re often innocent bystanders in the development process. If you want to know what Hancock looked like before all the cooks in the kitchen got their grubby paws on it, here’s an earlier draft [PDF] that shows the writer’s true vision… “
