Don't waste your time.  It's extremely rare for a studio to even open an envelope containing an unsolicited script, and for the big studios - Universal, Fox, Paramount etc. - it'll end up straight in the bin without a second thought.

Read this.  I haven't read the whole thing but it sounds similar to the stuff I've heard elsewhere over the years.

From my perspective, networking is the go.  I've built up relationships with other local filmmakers over the years and there's been a cross pollenation of different people working on different projects in different capacities.  I'm content to just make stuff I've written on my own (while also working on other's projects) till I have a decent showreel of material - whether it's screenplays, effects work, sound design, whatever - that could be shown to a production or effects house.

Yeah, start small and get noticed, make connections, and work your way up.

Lol, to think I was planning on writing a letter to Fox about an Alien V story. :P

Better to write it up as a fan fic.

Do Fox take notice of fan fics?

I've been meaning to ask this question although it is very unlikely. You need to build up a reputation first. Like someone else said, start small...

One name springs to mind - Quinton Tarantino.

I'd hardly call True Romance or Reservoir Dogs small unless you're talking about something previous to that.

QuoteDo Fox take notice of fan fics?

To my knowledge, no.

tarantino is a rare case, instead of spending money on film school he just made his own movie and sold the rights.
