Courier12 – Back!

It’s been far too long, fair friends, and now that I’ve had an opportunity to reflect on the controversy John August stirred up last December, I’ve reached some interesting conclusions which I’ll share with you tomorrow.  I’m such a tease, I know, I know.  Suffice it to say, Courier12 is coming back, here to save the lives of development executives the world over with script notes, memos, and emails you — YOU! — can steal wholesale and pass off to your boss as your own.

Funny story:  here’s an excerpt from an email I got some time back…

“Is it really OK if I use your notes?  You just posted about [redacted], and I’ve been procrastinating for weeks doing these notes.  Stupid agent keeps calling, my boss is too busy fucking his masseuse, and the writer won’t stop emailing because this is supposed to be the first step on the new contract.  FUCK.”

Yes, folks, good things happen to good people.  If you want me to give you time enough to drink in the early afternoon, send that script your company has thrown eight writers at since 2007 and still can’t make heads nor tails of and I’ll solve all your problems, as long as you’re comfortable with me publishing the notes right here on Courier12.

Oh, and!  Let’s not forget a nice little tidbit of info from Variety yesterday: Gabriele Muccino is talking with Morgan Creek about directing PASSENGERS, the Jon Spaihts script yours truly likes a lot.  He’s a character guy, and that script is all character, so he might actually be a good fit.   Advanced negotiations are always a good thing.  Fingers crossed the sucker gets made.
