In May I sat down and started writing an AvP script cos I had the writer's block and needed something to get over it. This seemed as good a way as any.
This was written between Saturday May 22nd and Sunday May 30th, with a revision on June 3rd. Of those eight days only five were spent actually writing, and all the revising was done in an afternoon.
Basically what I wanted to do was pull a script out my ass that was still better than what we got in cinemas. And as much as it reads like something written in 5 days -- Obvious exposition, a dire need of a thesaurus, and, oh. Every single character's name is a reference. Every f**king one. Jesus Christ. -- I still think it kicks those movies' asses in terms of actually doing the creatures some kind of justice.
There's a lot I would change about this, because there's a lot wrong with it, but seeing as it did its job and broke my writer's block, I'm actually spending that time on writing other non-franchise things.
So here it is, if only to put my money where my mouth is:
[It's moved! Check page 7 for a post with it attached! ~ SiL]
(And no, Sean Pertwee is not in it.)
(Also, the very last scene was a place-holder for when I got around to doing draft 2, which will never happen. It's cheesy, it's stupid; I know. God, do I know.)
[I still haven't redrafted it properly, but I got rid of the wank ending... kind'a ~ also SiL]
