Dead Men Walking - movie coming soon!
A few weeks ago, I got an email from David Latt, one of the producers and partners over at the production company, The Asylum (the ones who produced Jolly Roger and the new H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. The message read, "Call me tonight; I want to make your weekend very happy."
As it turned out, the good news was that they were going to produce my script, Dead Men Walking. "We go into production in July," David said.
"Holy shit," I replied.
That's a hell of a turnaround for a script that went from pitch to third draft in less than six months. And, if I recall, the pitch read, simply, "zombies in prison" and was part of a huge list of loglines I sent to him originally. Unlike all the other pitches, however, Dead Men Walking was the only one that didn't have a completed script to go with it. Of course, this is the one they wanted to see.
I think the first draft was written in about four days. If I remember also correctly, it blew. But it was apparently enticing enough for David to request a subsequent draft.
Stay tuned here for more information as it comes to me!
