Sure, movie titles have been reused from time to time, but generally Hollywood wants an original title. That's all fine and dandy, but a writer can't have a little thing like a title holding up progress when the creative juices are flowing. Both of the projects I have listed have been titles of existing movies. "The Search for Sarah" was a Patty Duke made-for-TV melodrama based on a true story. I certainly don't want my script associated with that. The alternate title I've used on and off again is "Protocol," which some will recall was also a film - a mediocre Goldie Hawn comedy. So, although the meter says the project is 27% complete, I'm still without a proper title. That's okay. Even when I do come up with an original one, it probably won't end up being the final title if it ever gets made.
Been revisiting my index cards to strengthen my story leading up to my class on Wednesday.
Another update soon.
