Screenwriting : Hello Everyone Reading This by Jeremy Nordenschild

Welcome, Jeremy! Nice to meet you. Glad you're here. I like the sound of your movie.

Welcome to Stage 32 and the Screenwriting Lounge, Jeremy Nordenschild. I haven't seen "The Room," but I've heard it's bad. :)

You can post your loglines, synopses, and scripts in the Logline Section of your profile. You can also post them in the Browse Logline Section (https://www.stage32.com/loglines -- look to the left where it says "Add a Logline").

Thanks Matt. Working on compressing the pilot n subsequent episodes into 2 page pitch. What a ____ (rhymes with pitch) this is. Maurice, The Room is an acquired taste. It takes endurance to watch but once u see how ridiculous it is through n through its like some strange drug n u could become a cult follower. At least until the high wears off. I was able to put my logline up for The Room Part II, but not the pdf file, for some reason.

Did you write "The Room Part II" to use as a writing sample, Jeremy Nordenschild? Or fanfiction?

Maurice. The hope is that's it made into a major motion picture. I was looking at it again. It truly is body convulsing hilarious at times. The fans would go delirious. Tommy would reach narcissistic orgasmic new heights as a celeb. Yet my paltry attempts so far at reaching him have failed. Advice I've heard says don't waste your time with a follow up to something u have no rights to, but what possible clearer way can I display my writing talents then present characters that fans are familiar with? If The Room parts 1 & 2 were part of a midnight double feature it would make the Rocky horror screenings look like a joke in comparison. There's no limits to how good n enjoyable something can be and I offer my Room Part 2, as Exhibit A to that claim.

Welcome. I started here I believe about 6 weeks ago.

Jeremy Nordenschild You asked, "Advice I've heard says don't waste your time with a follow up to something u have no rights to, but what possible clearer way can I display my writing talents then present characters that fans are familiar with." You could write an original script. That way you could show producers, directors, etc. that you're able to come up with original ideas and characters. And you'd have the rights to the script, so you could pitch it to producers, production companies, etc. for one of them to buy. Getting permission to film "The Room Part II" is possible, but it might be harder than writing and pitching an original script.

Marty. Your cynical comment is ignorant of a script which fans of the first one would love, In fact, some have read n do love it. Tommy has put out subsequent productions which don't compare to the room but this actually takes it to another level, paying homage to the original n having lots of fun with it. And even if this rule of yours were true, it is not an absolute. There are exceptions to every rule. The exceptional is the exception to any arbitrary rule, which this script is.

Why pinning it around? Just show it to Wiseau and hope he has 6mil in his pocket he invested in the first film...

Kiril, if you can help me get it to Wiseau, you'll be part of the project then.

Maurice, I have my own original script as well, which is what I'm mainly focused on. But again, simply, fans of The Room, who see my Part II will go crazy in a good way. If the studios that filimed "The Disaster Artitst" or Tommy are interested and they love it, then why should it not be done? Existing characters returning and being more entertaining than ever will be easy for fans to "get". That's more about selling the greatness of the script, itself, than me, myself and my "originality".

Jeremy Nordenschild You said, "*it's copywritten (WGA and Library of Congress)*," How were you able to register a script that's based on someone's movie?

Good question, Maurice. As far I know, I copywrote that which I created based off of it. I expect Tommy, who has the most to gain from this endeavor, to be the biggest challenge. His narcissism, which includes the unwillingless to endure any criticism whatsoever, is why "The Diaster Artist" is not nearly as great, truthful or hilarious as it could've/should've been. Tommy hated the book "The Disaster Artist" and said it was mostly b.s. because it was critical and revealed b.t.s he would rather not own up to, like the original cast and crew quitting, or audiences taking a long whille to warm up to the movie, turning it into a cult obsession based on a combination of that billboard being up for literally years costing 5 grand per month, combined with a piece of torn paper which cost nothing, posted in the cashier's booth, saying "No refunds after 15 minutes" or however long. I read that Tommy suffered a lawsuit loss of 750k from a documentary production company, because he wanted to control or block it because of how it makes him look. I would beg and plead to Tommy Wiseau these wise words which he needs to know so he can make lots and lots of dough/$$$$$$$$$$$$: IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE AUDIENCE IS LAUGHING AT YOU OR WITH YOU, LET THEM LAUGH AND YOU WILL LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK! If he can let people laugh at him and accept the "worst" side of the "best-worst" coin and let people say what ever they want and accept and be serene with the fact that all of us are imperfect flawed human "beans" but THAT'S OK, NO NEED TO HIDE THAT or photoshop ourselves or our personas... and control the narrative and B.S.people including himself... If he can do that, including learn to laugh at himself, including the script I had fun with that the world would love.. he will be a more rich and famous man... and more adored far more than ever before! If he can only see and embrace the big picture and the long vs short term

Thanks for the offer Jeremy but seems like uwe got some good insight of this guy (better than me anyways) I'd go with plain old "Hello"...

You know, Samuel Beckett was also known to be notoriously "arrogant" with people "borrowing" his work especially "Awaiting for Godot"...he spent lotta time chasing up lawsuits on this matter, but then this guy Miodrag Bulatovic wrote "Godot Arrives" without even consulting Beckett...it was said Beckett immediately requested a copy of the play...read it...said nothing...no lawsuit :)
