"We’ve had more spec sales in 2025 already than in any year in the last eight years. Original ideas are not only back, they’re thriving. A huge chunk of these sales is from first-time writers. No reps. No pre-existing track record. Just strong material, positioned well, taken out by executives who are hungry for fresh voices." - RB
Predator Badlands is a perfect example of taking a big risk and showing how risk-taking is needed in the industry. For more, check out: https://www.stage32.com/blog/coffee-content-reinvent-the-story-reinvent-...

Glad you had an amazing weekend, Dwayne Williams 2. I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas! Thanks. It's kinda like the Purge with vampires. My goal this week is do another rewrite of my script.

I remember that one, Maurice Vaughan the artwork and concept sound fun, especially the weapon market you made! If you ever want to toss around ideas or just get another perspective, I’m always open and happy to help, and the Stage 32 team is right here with you, too. What were the comparables again? Is it leaning more toward Blade and The Purge?

Thanks, Dwayne Williams 2. And thanks for the offer. The comparables are The Purge, 30 Days of Night, and Blade right now.

Wow, that’s a perfect blend of comparables, Maurice Vaughan. Both are actually my favorite vampire films, so that mix hits right away. With those influences, are you planning to bring in a signature weapon style like Blade had?

Blade is my favorite vampire movie, Dwayne Williams 2. I came up with weapons, traps, etc. for Vampire-Proof. Really unique weapons and things.

Oh nice, that sounds very interactive Maurice Vaughan. I love it when a world has its own unique weapons and traps; it really pulls the audience in. I’d love to hear more about what you’ve created whenever you want to share.

No problem, Dwayne Williams 2. I might start posting about the weapons, traps, etc. to build hype for my script.
