Although a very few people who knew this already, I'm planning on filling up my spare time (of which I have a lot) by writing a script based on Roald Dahl's short story, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. I had first thought of doing a version of Fantastic Mr Fox, but since Wes Anderson beat me to it, (and it looks awesome, can't wait to see it on Friday) I decided to adapt Henry Sugar. My basic idea is pretty close to the book (Henry learns to see through cards, wins a hell of a lot of money, has a change of heart and gives the money to charity,) but I've decided to give it my own twist as well. Whether I'll manage to finish it or not is another thing entirely, but I'll certainly give it a go, I might as well, since i spent £16 on a scriptwriting book which has helped in no way entirely...
Listening to:
Eagles of Death Metal - Death By Sexy
The Strokes - Room on Fire
Sepultura - Roots
Cavalera Consipiracy - Inflikted
George Harrison - Let It Roll (Greatest Hits)
Good luck with the script, Darren. You might like to check out videos on Youtube from the user, RSEwebteam. Many students in their school (including three friends of mine) have learned to see through cards. Also see 'Remarkable Students' link at ramtha.com
