Lancelot Link: Goat Protocol

Lancelot Link Thursday! If you saw the trailer to the new MISSION IMPOSSIBLE movie and thought: A chimp could have easily climbed that building! Why did they call Ethan Hunt when they could have called Lancelot Link? Here is a list of links to some great screenwriting and film articles, plus some fun stuff that may be of interest to you. Brought to you by that suave and sophisticated secret agent...



Here are nine cool links plus this week's car chase...

1) The Black List! - Best As-Yet-To-Be-Made-But-Probably-In-Production-Already screenplays. Some are assignments, some based on novels, some by big gun screenwriters.

2) The Hit List (specs only) - this list is *only* for spec scripts - but again, many are sold or in pre-prod already. Still no list exists for script that did not sell but are freakin' great, and scripts by unrepped writers who have yet to be discovered that are freakin' great. Can someone get on that?

3) This is the time of year that studios post their screenplays that they hope will be nominated for Oscars, For Your Consideration.

4) SAG Awards SNUB Serkis!

5) Americans HATE Foreign Films!

6) Screenwriter's Round Table - from Thanksgiving time, I think I missed it.

7) How Ten Top Screenwriters Hone Their Craft - Hollywood Reporter Oscar Watch.

8) Biggest FLOPS of 2011!

9) Script Magazine sold to Writer's Digest - Yes, it's true. I'll keep you updated when I learn more.

And this week's Car Chase!



BOURNE SUPREMACY - I think I ran it before, sorry! But I'm not sure, so here it is... maybe again.
