Not just another fanboy

The last few weeks I"lve been having problems with my foot.  This has put a real hamper in my weight loss goals.  Well tomorrow I'm goign to a podiatrist to get my foot checked out.  Hopefully they have good news and it's something easily fixed.  Either way I'll have a good amount of time to sit around and read. 

There are a lot of people out there coming up with stories, wanting to write the next great Superman script.  I don't want to be that guy.  I don't want to just be a fan saying, "oh yeah, I'm working on a script."  This is serious business for me.  It's not just another script, it's been a very long process getting to where I am and this blog represents the last legs of my journey to a complete script.  I've mentioned before that my dream is to have someone read it, but that I don't really expect anything from it.  That's not true.

The Death of Superman is the most read comic of all time, at least the last time I checked.  It's an amazing story and needs to be made into a movie.  It needs to be treated with care though as a direct copy will not work.  I've spent a long time studying movies as well as these comics.  It's not finished, I still have a lot of work to do, but I honestly believe I have the best script out there.  It's not just a matter of coming up with awesome visuals and a lose interpretation of the comic.  It's about tying everything together.  It's about having everything in the movie turn back in on itself and pull the audience into the story in every aspect.  One of the reasons it's taken so long is all those lose threads that have to be woven back into the storyline to make it cohesive. 

I'm not smarter than anyone else, I'm not the biggest fan either.  What do I have to bring?  A thirst to make sure it's the most complete storyline around.  This is the way I am with all stories I've worked on.  My friend who I work with on pretty much any story I work on, he's the same way.  When I avoid the problems and choose not to see them, he points them out, and vice versa.  This is going to be a story that will make any movie fan, any Superman fan proud.  Help me make that happen.
