Well, the notes on the screenplay came in this week. And I’m happy to say that they’re minimal, and easily dealt with. (And no-one’s said a thing about the swearing, the violence or the now-infamous Goat-Fucking Scene.)
In real terms, this means that we’ll have a locked script in five weeks or so. […]

Nothing new to report. I’m actually still waiting on a complete set of notes on the script from all concerned — I look at notes both from the producers both inside and outside the CASTLEVANIA production entity itself.
The “notes” phase is an entire production step in itself. I look at everything […]

He’s still hard at work on the script, but there have been some delays over the last few weeks that have strangely coincided with the failed UK and Scotland terror attacks and investigation. Once the suspects were […]

Things will be sparse here for a couple of weeks, now. I’m deep into the writing process, aiming to have the first draft of the script written by the end of the first week in June. It would have been done by now, but I lost three weeks to illness, which, given my […]

There are probably two different kinds of screenwriters. The kind who start with a blank sheet of paper and just bull through to the end of the thing, and the expanders, like me.
People like me work as if they’re applying coats of paint to the same surface. The only blank sheet of paper […]

Current Blog Nemesis “Otaku-Man” asks, in comments passim:
