(A movie trailer begins)

Announcer: Martin Scoresese… Oliver Stone …Brian De Palma…

These guys know great films…but do they know pressure?

(Camera fades onto the screenwriter as he is corner of his room, crying)

What is a guy to do when his back is against the wall, he’s struggling to keep face, and all he has worked on has gone to shreds…he must write a screenplay…never thought imaginable. What will he do to?

(Camera fades onto the screenwriter as he is typing frantically on this computer)

He’s going to write a screenplay about how his back is against the wall…how he is struggling to keep face and all the other “against all odds” clichés one person can think of.

The film will have flashbacks…memory loss and will absolutely be loved by critics because of it’s amateur – like camera work.

“SCREENPLAY” – at least that is the working title. A working title for a film not even written, yet!

Coming to a theatre near you…sometime in the near future…or not at all.

SCREENPLAY, this film is not yet rated, or been written or even been thought up yet.
