Quote from: Predaker on Dec 21, 2012, 02:58:05 PMGood, bad, he is the guy named Lindelof. His name would be toxic for a sequel and he knows it. That's why he made his fan boy comment about a "reaction" to the movie.
Quote from: GQSioux on Dec 20, 2012, 11:23:05 PMJust get David Giler and Walter Hill to write it.
Quote from: SiL on Dec 20, 2012, 11:59:29 PMTried writing a feature length script recently?
Quote from: SM on Dec 21, 2012, 04:15:53 AMWhy bother? You apparently know how it all works.Not to mention conveniently ignoring Lindelof saying he can only focus on one thing at a time and Prometheus 2 would be a 2 year commitment.
Quote from: ShadowPred on Dec 21, 2012, 06:00:54 AMWhich is of course, bullshit. Plenty of scripts get sent in that people never even get a response to. If you're lucky, and the script reader passes on your script as one that has to be read, then and only then will it ever even be read by whoever is in charge of the script reader. And if they like it, they might end up responding, because even a producer or whatever who looks at the script is in no way a guarantee that you will ever get a response back.It's nowhere near as easy as you put it.There's so much more I didn't add here, like trying to get an agent for one, or how f**king difficult it is to even get in at all in the film business with your first script. There's so god damn much that is blocking the writer from even reaching their goal.

This is Lindelof... he got the job.
Quotedude all a writer does is write a script then send it in and wait to see what they think.

You said: Quotedude all a writer does is write a script then send it in and wait to see what they think.Now tell me where in that quote you even mentioned Lindleof. I wasn't talking about him yesterday night, and you sure as hell weren't talking about him specifically in that quote.
