ONCE UPON A SPY

The opening titles to a 1980 TV Movie Pilot called ONCE UPON A SPY. The show featured Ted Danson and Christopher Lee who guest starred on the show as a villain. More groovy details can be found here. (h/t to Spy-Fi Channel)

A SPIN ON THE WORD PULP

Here's a new way to read in the bathroom; Koji Suzuki, the man behind films such as THE RINGU and DARK WATER, has come out with a new novella.

However, what makes it unique is that the entire thing is printed in a roll of toilet paper. This is certainly puts a whole new meaning to the word pulp.

The plot is related to Japanese superstitions that evil spirits are lurking in the bathroom similar to the Bloody Mary urban tales here in the States.

More details can be found here. (h/t to My Ghoul Friday)

CHEAP, CHEAPER, DIRT CHEAP

I'm thinking of taking the script that I'm working on and rewriting it two more times. This way I can have three scripts that can work with three different budget levels. It's not the first time it's been done. I've heard of other screenwriters doing the same.

My reasoning is that if I can't get the budget that I want I would have at least two back-up plans to make same movie but cheaper. I'll let you know how it works out in the end.

For those wanting to know more updates on the script or what I'm up to don't forget to follow me on Twitter.

V - THE TV TRAILER

Here's the trailer to the remake of V coming straight at you from ABC. I can't help but think of David Icke whenever I see the trailer and think of the show.

STAYING STYLISH

For those not following my Tweets, my doc said that I have a bad wheel, meaning bad hip. So I might have to start using a cane to ease the pain. The way I see it is if I have to have a cane I might as well own it. I'm thinking of getting one of these and this one for Sunday walks. What do you think?
