Alright kids. For those of you bored out of your skulls or electing to stay home
this New Years, I offer the following for your reading enjoyment (or torment) and
edification. The script I submitted to Universal, which really represents the version
they greenlit. Lot of changes in the final film, including the ending (although we
did shoot the scripted ending, it goes to that wonderful orphanage known as the
DVD deleted scenes section, to be claimed by its loving parent later) and other
misc twists and turns. I put it in PDF form, so it can be downloaded, but I'll be
honest, I don't know my ass from first base when it comes to this stuff and I've
hit the banana peel HARD in the past when it comes to the technical aspects of
this blog. But hey man, no hill for a climber, so here goes! Also, just in case you
think the life of a Hollywood director is this wild, non-stop orgy of excess, consider
the following: I am blogging this at nearly 9pm on what is traditionally regarded as
the biggest party night of the year...

...Ladies and Gentleman we have a winner! AND IT'S ME!

Dario Scardapane, myself, Sean Bean and Yara Martinez drinking ourselves into
a workday stupor! This is from FACELESS, a pilot that a handful of putzes at Fox
torpedoed. Brilliant move guys...how's that fall slate working out for you? Not a single
new show in the Top 50? Wow.

Mr. Murdock. A word...No...Two:

PINK SLIPS.

Alright, no more bitterness in the new year! That's my resolution!

You kids go out there and have a blast tonight! Watch your beverage consumption
and for the love of God, bring some of your square, prudish new-born friends
along to the party. The ones who can resist the devil's nectar and reject satan's
advances through distilled spirits to drive you home safely. We all need those
irritating, grating assholes once in awhile and on a night like this, the qualities
you normally want to strangle out of them (self-righteous, overly virtuous,
constantly pimping the word of Christ) you will stand up and extol, once
you shake off that wartorn hangover you're going to be wearing tomorrow
morning!

So in the words of Rick James...Eat! Drink! And Be Merry Bitches!

I never get tired of these and I hope you don't. This concept, while obvious,
is still fantastically rendered. It's probably a little too jam-packed with stuff.
A little too cluttered and it doesn't give you a clear enough sense of the film.
But I really dig the graphic treatment and the kind of mild distressing they did.
So I'm going to start firing these out every other day until I run my files dry.

Also, keep asking questions and I'll keep posting answers until CHUD catches
up with us.

ps Roxana! Great shot of that bus in London with the 'Smokin' Aces' advert. I
owe your sister big!
