I'd like to share a letter from the producer who wants to option our script. If you read the previous blog, you'll have a little background into this. I changed the names to protect the quilty. My name and Jeff's(writing partner) didn't change. The spelling and grammar is as was. Enjoy.
Anthony and Jeff
So this will be my attempt at a reconciliation e-mail. I am sure you both felt very and may still feel cheated, upset, and very pissed that your script did not go out the way you wanted it to. I assure you that I felt all these emotions the past months. When you work hard on something and put time and energy into it and it doesn't work, it sucks. I realize that you guys have spent years on this and that doesn't compare to myself, John and Doe's involvement. But I think you now realize that you can't work with people and then expect them to disappear when something that is perceived to be better comes along. Getting a movie made in this town is almost like winning the lotto. It is that hard. It is that hard to get hired to write and to have a spec script bought. I think you will find that everything I have said to you guys as been truthful. I have treated you with respect up to the whole melt down and I am willing to start again now. Please realize the situation you put me in I had little choice but to be a hollywood hard ass. Now I am willing to move on if you are. I still want to make this movie. We still have the casting people interested. We still have private investor interested. And we still have the ability to get this script covered at every major agency and put it in very big hands. I know you may not trust or believe me but I make films. Agents, mangers and most people in this town talk, unless you are already established. I hope you are able to put this behind you and we can move on with this great project. I would like to sit down with everybody and open dialogue again and move forward the correct way and make this movie.
Let me know. Producer A
