Post Your Thoughts on I Look Forward To Remembering You

Earl Newton — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 06:21:57 +0000

As Episode 05: Disconnect circulates through the Internet and we wrap up Singularity 2009 (Did I say Balticon?), I’m setting my sights on the next episode for Stranger Things.

I did an impromptu Twitterpoll and the audience voted overwhelmingly for Mur Lafferty’s time-travel/mystery/romance piece “I Look Forward to Remembering You.”

I originally heard the story on episode 61 of Escape Pod, and knew even then that it was something I wanted to do.

This week I’m going to download Escape Pod #61, reacquaint myself with Mur’s story, and begin the adaptation process.

I’ll be posting updates here and on Twitter as I work through the script. Post your thoughts about the story and what it means to you. I’ll be referring back to these comments as I construct the screenplay, and eventually, the movie.

Follow me on Twitter.

Had to power through that one fast, as it was required by some important folks. Will tell you more about it when I can, but for the moment, I can say it’s a real mindjob. Related posts:New Script“Pure Love” completeNew Script Completed Related posts:

New Script

Earl Newton — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 23:02:48 +0000

After an insane bout of getting the Mac repaired after an accident with a statue (later), I’m back to writing a new script. It’s more classic, space-oriented sci-fi. And at the same time, like nothing you’ve seen before. It’s going to be gritty, and bittersweet, and violent. And I can’t say more now.

“Pure Love” complete

Earl Newton — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 01:51:20 +0000

Just finished the third draft of “Pure Love”, the feature film I’ve been working on for the last month.

It’s going out to the readers right now, but I’m confident we’re close to the final draft. Here’s what some people have been saying about it so far…

“Gutwrenching…”
“Intense, wicked, and twisted.”
“A killer tale of addiction, desperation, and need…”
“A mindf*ck of a movie…”

So, needless to say, I’m pretty pleased.

Will keep you up to date on its progress.

UPDATE:

This has to be my favorite comment so far: “It reminded me of a Tarantino flick, Blow, and a Twilight Zone episode having a threesome.”

New Script Completed

Just completed the second draft of Pure Love (aka episode 5 of Stranger Things).

Without sounding like a broken record: we’re taking the bar up another notch. Psychologically, visually, conceptually, this may be one of the most raw stories we’ve told yet.

From one of my early readers:

“This is a killer tale of addiction, desperation, and need.”
