Pirates

A few weeks ago I finished my dad’s 6th rewrite of his prequel to Treasure Island.

I’m now working through Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel. I must say, it’s awesome to see John Silver’s transformation into a pirate, and then pick up right into the great old classic.

Obviously biased, but the pops wrote a very vivid and alluring piece. Couldn’t put it down.

The novel he published before is called Anne Bonny: tale of a lady pirate. A producer here in Hwood has optioned it to try to make a film. We shall see!

Watching Paul Newman films today. Starting with pocket money, then the sting….someone took my cool hand luke!

It’s crazy that after his first film he took out a one pg apology in the trade papers.

We lost one of the greats….

Coconut Island Screening

It was exciting as hell to see this rambunctiously wild film. When I first read the script I was thinking how the hell can a 2-D set and island life mesh with the rest of the film? But it does, and yet again, RSW made something pretty damn special.

It’s always hard to watch your own work, but this was pretty damn cool. There were definitely some moments that fell a little short, but it is what it is. Gotta work on that comedic timing — one thing you either got or not. Work in progress.
