With the first draft of Promise of Blood under my belt, I switch gears to another project – a detailed pitch for a fun genre series. Contacted the production company this morning and told them I’d be sending the document their way by week’s end after which we can hop on a zoom and discuss. Between then and now, I have just one thing to do – come up with a title for the show.
I hate coming up with titles.
Sadly, it’s a “pass for now” on the reimagining of that classic sci-fi series. Apparently, Hollywood is shying away from this sort of high concept SF approach. They’re wrong of course but, alas, they’re the buyers. The moon will remain safely in Earth’s orbit for the foreseeable future.
Honestly kind of mystified that we didn’t receive any bites on TimEscape as it is, tonally, the perfect sci-fi series for the times. Not sure what my next step will be. Have considered the comics route, but I’m not convinced that’s the way to go. May simply make the pitch deck and two first episode scripts public.
The pitch package for Fronted, my sci-fi Kpop series, went out last week and we await feedback ahead of the polish on the pilot. Hopeful that the success of productions like Alice in Borderland and Squid Game will offer tailwinds for a possible pick-up.
Finally, I really should do a rewrite on an existing pilot that has garnered some interest, but not feeling particularly motivated. The time I have spent on my uranium stocks have yielded much more positive results so, for now, I think I’ll stick with that.
Today’s Yes/No…
Finally, I leave you with this…
