Are You Ready for CARGO 3120?

CARGO3120_variantCOVER-1-DEX

One of the really cool things about becoming a content creator is that you can never be absolutely certain how your content is going to turn out. A great idea is nothing if it remains, simply, a great idea. It’s got to go someplace where it can be seen or heard or read or experienced one way or another by its audience, and the journey from brainchild to final “product” often takes many highly unexpected twists and turns.

The basic premise is clear enough: read article

Latest News About Writers Who Are Doing Better Than We Are

  • Jessica Ball (ROYAL PAINS) is adapting Timothy Hallinan‘s comedy crime series of novels about JUNIOR BENDER into a series for NBC. (Of course, you wouldn’t know it from the lede of the Hollywood Reporter’s version of the story, which features producer-star Eddie Izzard in such a way that you’d think he was the writer. And while the Iz-man may be a lot of things, he isn’t the writer of this potentially interesting new show.)
  • Jerry Collins (THE BERNIE MAC SHOW) is writing the pilot for an ABC comedy called BIG STOP, about “today’s current issues as seen through the lens of a bustling Kansas truck stop.” (Man, I sure wish I’d been at the pitch meeting for this one cuz I’ve been having insomnia recently and listening to this concept would’ve put me right out. Think maybe the fact that another star – ABC’s own Eric Stonestreet of MODERN FAMILY – is producing kept the development execs alert?)

Well, that’s definitely it for now. Write in and tell munchilito what you’ve sold today. TVWriter™ can’t wait to brag to all your friends. (And, more importantly, enemies. Hehehe….)

  • James Wong (AMERICAN HORROR STORY) is writing a CBS pilot about an angel who teams up with a female police detective to solve crimes.  (Ye olde muncher isn’t too taken with that part of the premise, but wait, it gets cooler: The angel has lost his wings and is stranded on earth, which means that he and the detective spend a lotta time “trying to uncover the mystery” of why he’s been made mortal. C’mon, that really is kinda cool, no?)
  • Matt Wheeler (the upcoming TIN MEN) is writing an NBC drama about a mob family called THE FAMILY BUSINESS. (And if the series is anywhere near as “original” as that title, whoa, baby, NBC’s in big trouble…again)
  • Evan Dougherty (DIVERGENT) is adapting Five Ghosts, an Image Comic book by Frank J. Barbiere & Chris Mooneyham into a series pilot for Syfy. (The comic is about a 1930s treasure hunter possessed by Merlin, Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, Musashi, and Dracula, which means that come hell, high water, or incarceration by the Sheriff of Nottingham, el munchero will watch every episode of this awesomeness…even if the TV version turns out not so awesome. And, yeppers, I think you should too.)
  • Gillian Flynn (GONE GIRL) has been signed to write every episode of HBO’s new thriller series, UTOPIA. (Which means that you and I every writer we know – unless you know Gillian, is plumb out of lock for working on that damn series. So while I’m happy for Ms. F, I’m just a tad put out at all the lost $$$. I mean credit. I mean…experience. Yeah, that’s it, experience, that I kinda sorta wanted to get. Guess we’ll have to file this deal in the Life Ain’t Fair Department, yes?)

That’s it for now. Write in and tell munchilito what you’ve sold today. TVWriter™ can’t wait to brag to all your friends. (And, more importantly, enemies. Hehehe….)
