Honestly, I'm planning on the OS. For all of us, it comes with MoPo Provenance...kind of knowing someone (for me it's several years already) but never meeting...being in a group of eccentric like minded people (except when they vehemently disagree). I think this is very cool...and the poster is this awesome trickle down effect!

Dear Mopo friends - Many thanks to all of those who have offered congratulations. This is a very unusual time in my life. I liken it to, getting in a car, with people you don't know, not sure of your destination or how long it's going to take to get there. For the time being, however, I still feel safe sort of. Once they actually own the script there's little I can do. They can add what I call "the dancing monkeys" anytime they want. Sometimes they even put the monkeys in tuxedos to hide the fact they're not actually supposed to be there. I've been working on this script for 4 years. There have been nibbles all along the way which was always very encouraging. Now it's all come together. The budget will be 2 million. Hopefully the script's content will be able to attract some name people who just want to work on it for the sake of doing a good story. People ask what I got paid. My financial interest in it is very small but at this point, it's not the money, it's the opportunity to get my name out there and hope other work follows. (Once I get a check I might be looking for some moderately priced Wheeler and Woolsey material! I want to buy a little something that reminds me of this deal.) I've been an actor for 25 years and my employment history, shall we say, has been spotty at best. Resulting in an over all average of 22 years of scrambling for the rent. I don't think I can talk too much more about the deal publicly until the producers release some publicity. When I can, I'll let you know the name of the piece and what it's about. I believe in the "good story, well told" concept of film making and my fondest hope is, that will be the end result. In the mean time as I've said to some MOPO'ers already - of all the things that can happen, I really can't wait to see what the one sheet looks like! How crazy is that? warm regards, Glenn Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
