Hello. It’s been long since I posted.

I’ve been involved recently in an awesome screenwriting community at the Screenwriting Goldmine Forums that I wanted to share. It is totally devoted to the art/craft and business of screenwriting. There are some very knowledgeable people active in the community.

In particular, I wanted to mention this post made by a guru member Scrivener. It talks about the types of coverage and analysis you can get from the different outfits which offer such services, and gives a few nods to some of the trusted ones.

Here is an excerpt:

“A professional story analyst (“reader”) will read your feature-length script 80-120 pages (no books for this special) and will analyze it in a coverage report of 3 pages single-spaced. Comments section will be two pages min. No synopsis is included.

This report will contain the following:
Logline (1-3 sentences) summary of your story.
Comments (includes strengths and weaknesses regarding, structure, dialogue and character. A few suggestions on how to improve script).
Grid Rating of: Premise, Storyline, Structure, Characterization and Dialogue
Overall Rating of script: Pass, Consider or Recommend (with your permission, we will alert the industry about your material should it get a consider or recommend). We are not agents or producers and will not take a percentage of any deal. We make the introduction and step aside. No follow-up calls to the industry regarding your script will be made.
Turnaround time is 2-3 weeks. We will notify you by e-mail when material and payment are received.

Scripts over 120 pages will be charged an additional $1 per page over the 120 page count.
Their coverage is of a very high standard.”

If you are interested in screenwriting, this is the place you should go to seek advice.

It’s pretty explanatory…

Various sites are reporting that Quentin Tarantino is in talks to do a third installment in the Kill Bill franchise, possibly for a 2014 release. The word apparently comes from Tarantino himself, who revealed his plans on the Italian talk show Parla Con Me.

It has long been rumoured that volume three will pick up ten years after the first two installments. It will follow Nikki Bell (Ambrosia Kelley) on her own quest for revenge, years after she witnessed her own mother’s murder at the hands of The Bride (Uma Thurman).

The previous Kill Bill films were tremendously successful, grossing over $332 million combined.

Tarantino’s latest film Inglorious Basterds was released earlier this year.
