FADE TO BLANK
As a screenwriter, I read with interest Claudia Puig’s article detailing which script ideas are dead in Hollywood (Film Clips, Oct. 19).
Let’s see if I have this straight: no boring literary adaptations, no sci-fi, no pirate movies, no film noir thrillers in which people seek revenge, no action-adventure unless the characters have a “soul” to speak of, no evil robots . . . in other words, none of the 50 movies in current release.
If anyone wants to read my new screenplay, which consists of 120 blank pages, call me. We’ll do lunch.
