There
are questions I get asked again and again.
One
is, "What is it like to get rewritten?"
Um,
sort of like when I watched my grandmother die of cancer. Stop asking
that. Jeez.
Another
is, "What in the movie is yours and what is stuff by the other guy?"
That is too hard to answer. I wrote three drafts of Excess Baggage
for the studio after they optioned the original script. And after
that seven other writers -- and the actress if what she said in
interviews is right -- rewrote my drafts. And their drafts. And
each others' drafts. And with that many people rewriting this and
rewriting that, you can't say "that is mine that is theirs." It
is all mashed together.
But
people keep asking.
So
I have figured a way to dodge the question.
You
decide.
This is the original script "Excess Baggage." The draft
that won the Austin Film Festival competition and that Columbia
Pictures optioned.
Watch the movie. Read the script. Figure it out. (wink)
