Waiting Some More

I'm also very patiently waiting to hear from a well-known director friend who will, hopefully, read my comedy script someday. I think I gave it to him, oh, I don't know, back in September. Followed up once since then. But he's been very busy doing post on his upcoming film, so I understand he doesn't have time for a newbie like me. He's a real life film director, after all. However, I am hoping when he reads it he will like it enough to pass it on, at my suggestion, to his friend Hugh Jackman, whom I would love to star in it. Even better, Jackman recently formed a partnership with two producers (Neil Meron & Craig Zadan) whom I think would be a perfect match for this particular comedy. Hey, I can dream, can't I?

I'm a little intimidated by my director friend reading one of my scripts, though. I will never forget the first time I stepped foot in his NY apartment .... I saw several scripts laying about with ICM on the cover. So I asked him,"reading anything good?". His reply: "No, they're all crap." Mind you, these are scripts sent to him by his agent at ICM. Scripts that made it through the gates of Hollywood and were sent to a director for his consideration! Gulp. Please cross your fingers that he doesn't think my comedy script is crapola, too.
