I was working on this script last spring, so now that it feels like spring again, I’m thinking about it and how dumb it is.

Had a reason to dust off this script recently that's been an absolute contest dog, but reader favorite. Seems to be my M.O. for 2026! 😆 #FunPageFriday #ScriptSky

#FirstPageFriday! Time once again to eschew shame and toss better judgement out an upper story window for a tiny crumb of shameless self pimpage! Woohoo! Post that new start, or that old ending, or just staple some random middle to a fencepost and have yourself a day!

INT. PLAZA HOTEL - DAY Glenn Cooper raises his fist to knock on the Beatles' hotel door when it suddenly swings open. He finds himself face to face with a smiling young man. GLENN Jesus! Beatles associate NEIL ASPINALL (23) offers his hand. NEIL Nope. Just plain old Neil Aspinall. You’re here to see Brian? GLENN I am. I'm Glenn Cooper, from CBS. Glenn follows Neil into the room. At the window, PAUL MCCARTNEY (21) and JOHN LENNON (23) hang their heads out of the window. SCREAMS echo from below. BRIAN I thought I asked you fellows to stop sticking your heads out of the window. JOHN LENNON (O.S) It wasn't our heads last time. Brian turns back to Glenn. GLENN Everything's set. We'll send the limos on Sunday afternoon for the rehearsal. BRIAN Yes, about that. I was wondering - is there another way to get to the studio? Travel has become a terrible problem because of the crowds. NEIL The last time we used a laundry truck. Lennon and McCartney continue to tease the crowd. PAUL MCCARTNEY (O.S.) Look at all the reporters down there. JOHN LENNON (O.S.) Someone hand me the tray of pastries
Color stipes background; Can't Buy Me Love; On February 9, 1964, over 70 million people get ready to tune in to watch the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. Ex-con Sonny Carter wonders - who's watching the banks? ; Based on the novel by Dan McNeil; Screenplay by Dan McNeil & Jasmine Aziz; guitar leans against a suitcase full of money

CAN’T BUY ME LOVE
While all of New York is distracted by the Beatles’ Ed Sullivan debut, a revenge fueled ex-con attempts to pull off the ultimate bank heist.

FADE IN: BLACK SCREEN Nothing but muffled sounds. Fuzzy, static... loud and frantic <FOOTSTEPS>. <YELLING>. <GUNSHOTS>. BEETLE (V.O.) Where is he?! Where’d he go?! MOTH (V.O.) This can’t be happening! Not now! More <GUNSHOTS>. <SIRENS> wail. WASP (V.O.) That little brat, he abandoned us! POLICE OFFICER (V.O.) GET ON THE GROUND! WASP (V.O.) I’ll get that wheelman if it’s the last thing I do! I’ll get you-- INT. CAR - INTERCUT The interior of a simple car. Cheap. Tidy. Nothing out of the ordinary here. In the drivers’ seat MAGENTA (30s, Latin), a purple haired social worker, steadily keeps the car going down the road. MAGENTA --Spider? Spider, are you awake? A figure is laying down across the backseats of the car, just out of view. MAGENTA (CONT'D) We’re almost there. I’m sure you’re gonna like it in Parvusville. Cosy, slow... it’s just what you’ll need. Silence. The figure laying down neither speaks nor moves. MAGENTA You don’t need to speak, not after all that. But... a simple ‘OK’ would work. (quieter) Or a thank you for spending all that money on your outfit. The figure raises a hand, giving a brief thumbs up.
MAGENTA (beat) Good enough, I suppose. EXT. PARVUSVILLE OUTSKIRTS - CONTINUOUS A quiet road leading down a hill overlooking a woodland town. From afar it’s a sparse neighbourhood, a small downtown district and a sizeable park. The car drives towards it, heading downhill and passing by a cracked billboard that reads, ‘Welcome to Parvusville’. A NASA sticker is blatantly slapped across the rear bumper. MAGENTA (O.S.) But, really, the clothes you had before were just fine. Isn’t all of this... a bit much? The car heads out of sight. A TINY BEAR, barely two inches tall, scurries across the road. EXT. TRENTON GROUP HOME - DAY The car pulls up outside of a large rustic building at the end of a suburban street. A crack runs across one of the front windows and much of the paint is chipped. MAGENTA Well, here you are. I’d stay and see you indoors, but I have three more fosters to see today. I trust that you can settle yourself in? Silence. MAGENTA (CONT’D) I’ll be back in a few weeks to see how you’re settling in and what, if any, changes might be needed. Until then, try to stay out of trouble. (beat) Come on, up you get. Up, up, up! The door opens. A shiny and new pair of bovver boots hit the ground. PAN UP to reveal their owner. SPIDER (16, White): stoic, smart and near-silent. Looks like the coolest guy around. Some would call him speed itself. He shuts the door behind himself. Takes in the sight of the group home. Quirks an eyebrow behind his sunglasses. The car drives away, leaving him to stand alone. He adjusts his jeans and sleek Nehru jacket.
Spider puts his hands in his pockets. <EXHALES>. AUNT BETTY (O.S.) Ah, you must be Spider. Spider turns. An older woman approaches him from within the old doors of the group home. AUNT BETTY (60s, White): a chipper lady of dotty mannerisms and a fluffy red dress. Either knows everything or nothing... AUNT BETTY Magenta called ahead. She said to expect you at twelve sharp. That being said, it’s five past... Spider gives her a shrug. AUNT BETTY (CONT'D) Oh, but it’s not a big deal is it, really? Welcome to Parvusville and the Trenton Boarding House. I’m Mrs. Trenton, but... She glances around, conspirative. AUNT BETTY (CONT'D) Well, everyone calls me Aunt Betty, so you can too! Spider gives her a thumbs up, nodding along to her words. AUNT BETTY (CONT'D) Now, what say we get you settled in? Hm, you packed rather light didn’t you, dearie? Spider just shrugs - nothing but the clothes on his back. AUNT BETTY Only the essentials, that’s what I always say. Come along then. Spider begins to follow her indoors. A soft <WHIRR> of an engine gives him pause. He looks around. Spots four tiny sports cars zooming across the pavement, keeping within a chalk lined ‘track’. Spider stares. Rubs his eyes. Stares some more. The cars are gone, perhaps around the corner. AUNT BETTY (O.S.) Today Spider, thank you! Spider shakes his head. Proceeds indoors.

Whether it's #FirstPageFriday or #FunPageFriday, take a gander at the first (few) page(s) of Micro Machines: The Movie!🔬🚗 Based on the beloved 1991 Sega Genesis video game, it's a tale that seeks to answer how Spider became the best racer... and how the gang fit in the cars anyway.😂

Horse against black background; "Sometimes the long shot really isn't the long shot; THE LONG SHOT; Based on a true story (sort of...); Screenplay by Dan McNeil & Jasmine Aziz; Spec Script Available
PASTURE Cajun Prince grazes in the pasture. Billy strokes the horse's coat. BILLY All right, boy. Let's go. As Billy starts to lead the horse to the trailer, Cajun Prince performs a bizarre, dance-like skipping trot. JACK (hisses) Billy! Billy turns. Jack's chin hangs down to his chest. Billy watches Cajun Prince skip across the grass like a flapper. BILLY That? He just started doing that a few months ago. Not sure why. JACK What the fuck, Billy? BILLY It's not a big deal. I figgered-- JACK Not a big deal?! Look! Cajun Prince prances like a Lipizzaner stallion. JACK (O.S.) We're fucked. BILLY No we're not. Watch. Billy hums "Ain't She Sweet" to Cajun Prince. The horse immediately stops dancing. BILLY See? He calms right down whenever I sing or hum to him. Billy hums and walks Cajun Prince across the ground. When Billy stops humming, the horse flits across the grass. JACK Jesus Christ. He's strutting around like a Times Square hooker.

We survived another week, so our punishment is me flogging you with a silly graphic and exhorting you to inflict a page or two onto an already sadly burdened world.
#FirstPageFriday! Or #FunPageFriday if you’re just a radical who spits at rules. Show us some cool writing. I dare ya.

This from my adaptation of Scott Sigler's science fiction horror novel, "Ancestor"
I wrote this back in 2012, fairly early in my writing journey. I loved the book and wanted to grow my skills at adaptation, so I went for it.

Back in 2014, I was attached to write a creature feature called:
LAVA BATS
Yes, you read that right
No, it wasn't MY concept
I left the project when things weren't working out with the Producer. Yup, it's still on IMDB
Here's Page 1, fwiw
Enjoy!
