Blog it out bitch

Blah.. I'm bored and have writer's block.

I've been working on this screenplay for about 2 weeks now (35 pages in) and I really feel positive about it.

Hopefully I can finish through with it instead of just putting it aside when a new idea comes my way. Kinda like what I did with the 2 previous screenplays.

I guess you're probably wondering, what the hell could this screenplay be about. Well, I feel in the year 2008, America deserves a new mobster movie. But what the hell could be done to top the already previous classics, Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino etc.

So I decided to tweak it and not go the traditional mobster route, and more so a similar route to A Bronx Tale.

Essentially, without giving away too much detail, the movie centers around a white suburban town in NY, split up into 2 parts, due in part to an on going "Civil War" over drugs. One side of the town, are against drugs, gangs and crime in general; they often refer to themselves as mercenaries, for lending their arm to help those in danger.

The other side, is filled with your stereotypical deadbeats, uneducated dropouts, who sell drugs and waste away their lives screaming thug life.

However, the only thing keeping the 2 sides from killing each other, are the boundaries set by the local mob boss; who just so happens to be mentors to 2 of the mercenaries, and the supplier for deadbeat.

It's an interesting little story dealing with friendship, which takes a bit of a twist at the end.

I'm looking to milk this storyline for 3 movies. The possible scenarios for the next 2 films are already in my head.

Just a forewarning, if I see a movie with this plot, I will kill you...

JK... or am I...
