Writing “Survivor Type”
I figured since word is getting around about our adaption of Stephen King’s “Survivor Type”, I would let everyone know the progress and process of where we are with the script.
Some things to note:
- I am a huge Stephen King fan.
- I am a child of the 1980’s and lived through the peak of very bad Stephen King movie adaptions.
- “Survivor Type” is one of my favorite of his short stories.
Now, with all that said, rest assured that myself and everyone else involved in this production, want to make the best film we can. We are trying to get the script as true to the story as we can. We have taken some liberties to update the story, since the original came out over 25 years ago. But we all have a deep respect for Mr. King’s work, so the changes are mostly going to be subtle ones.
Right now, I’ve finished the first draft and am working towards a shooting script draft. Basically, it needs to be something that myself, our director and our producer are all 100% happy with.
That is all for now and thank you for your interest in our film.
