Fox 2000 howls over SILVER
February 18th, 2002
Imagine if you will, dear reader, a man of stout proportions, twenty years of age, lanky brown hair hanging in his eyes. He is in the darkly fashionable office of a Hollywood producer.
In his hands he holds a script. With the title SILVER STRIKE. As he leans forward the air seems to suck out of the room. In the dead silence he can hear the rapidly beating heart of the balding man across the desk from him.
The throaty words he speaks boom like a gong:
It is, he says, BLACK HAWK DOWN...with werewolves.
And as a cheer rises and Ben Hecht shoots himself in the head, the lights go out and we all wake.
Im kidding. Kidding!
Screenwriter J. Barton Mitchell has sold his spec script SILVER STRIKE to Fox 2000. They paid mid-six figures for it.
The project centers on a troop of werewolf hunters.
Mitchell, interestingly, writes user guides for IBM. And you thought they had low-paying drones for that! Little did you know the man writing about how to find the HELP function was, at night, dreaming of a pack of wild werewolves.
