Since there have been some requests for further script postings, I've decided to start releasing sections of the completed script in chronological order (this will mean a few repeats, but lots of new stuff). Due to several activities in my regular life, I can't promise regular updates, but I'll do what I can ( Read more... )

Okay, I've been a bit lazy of late, but I promised another excerpt for those of you waiting patiently for the full screenplay, and here it is: AIAOY (including reprise and chandelier). For those of you following along, this scene picks up immediately after the "Il Muto" excerpt posted a while back. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, this thing. I've been busy, but I'm still here (isn't that a Sondheim lyric ( Read more... )

No, the screenplay's not posted yet--go bug Crysania if you're anxious; she's the one posting it ;-) (I love ya, Crys, you know that). In the meantime, I figured I'd amuse myself by posting the list of actors who played on the stage in my head when I was writing this. "Dream Cast" posts were pretty common in the pre-film days (ah, good times)-- ( Read more... )

Yes, as of this moment, the screenplay is complete and on its way to the ever-cool Crysania for review and eventual posting. Watch this space for further developements ( Read more... )

Well, the mask (and gloves) are off...barring any unforseen dificulties, I should have this little insanity of mine completed by the end of the month. Writing DJT and the ensuing chaos was fun, if challenging--there's a LOT going on in a short space of time there.

Re-watched Moulin Rouge last night for a bit of inspiration. I know a lot of ( Read more... )

Life is good--I got my tickets for PotO's upcoming tour stop in Denver today (having stayed up until midnight Saturday/Sunday so I could order them as soon as possible), resulting in much skipping around the apartment (hey, it's been six years!). Meanwhile, things on the screenplay front are coming to a head--I'm almost to PonR. Like MotN, this ( Read more... )

The second half continues to take shape; I'm about midway through "Notes II." The structure of this part has probably gone through the most changes in my mind. Obviously, the beginning (Masquerade and Mme. Giry's confession) and ending (the "Don Juan" performance on out) would follow the stage show, but what about the middle? The scenes in the ( Read more... )

Yep, I've gotten everything written down for the first half of the story. I paced out the completed part using my OLC and my own line readings, and to my surprise found it came out to about one hour--I was expecting an hour-fifteen, at least. So, unless the second act starts to get VERY long, I'm thinking I'll leave things the way they are ( Read more... )
