Xillix Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 So I've started writing Under since it's probably the one I'm most passionate about for Y2. But no matter when I actually finish it I'm only going to post the first act in the Part I thread until like... immediately before the deadline. I actually don't want people reading most of it in advance. I'd like reviews to all be done with fresh eyes. That said if I finish Deep Into the Night early I might send that out for pre-read. Those are really my only two "serious" Y2 movies in terms of, like, putting in a lot of effort and hoping/expecting them to actually be any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorschach Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I'm rewatching The Odyssey mini-series/Troy (the movie with Brad Pitt) to help me start writing the first of the trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xillix Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Well I managed to crank out the first 1,400 words of Under in the past hour. A few more good nights and it'll be done early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Mapping out Cyber now....it's going to be set between 2002 and 2009 and something of a political "epic" (I.e really really long) in the vein of, say, The West Wing meets Goodfellas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Cyber and The Simulation will probably be my main OCs for next year - Parvelli might just be too strange for a big success. Gobi could be promising, it's a pretty simple story but I think it can make a fun film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Fair warning....Cyber may be another ultra-long movie. I'm about 1k words in, and that should correspond to the first 20-25 minutes of two plus hour movie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 I have a PG-13 cut of Scavenger Wars that's over 150 minutes, and an R-rated cut that's pushing 160. (word count it's probably a 0.5k difference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 2 minutes ago, Hiccup23 said: Tbh the main reason why I criticized the length is that while word count wise it's super long much of it is just dialogue or descriptions that in practice would only translate to a couple of seconds of screentime. Hence why I said it could've been a 90-minute film and you wouldn't have had to cut a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thankfully for you, I'm about halfway through Cyber (maybe a bit less) and it's "only" 2.1k words. Cassia is probably the other other film this year that might be kind of long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
