The One-Page Screenplay: John Turman's BFF
It's time for another edition of The One-Page Screenplay, the feature in which Movieline approaches top Hollywood screenwriters and asks them to produce something that could conceivably be made for under $30 million. We're thrilled to have John Turman with us this week. He's the writer of such superhero blockbusters as Hulk and Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer; for us, though, he's created something a little different. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
The Official Bio:
Screenwriter John Turman turned a childhood love of comic books and science fiction into a career writing for TV and features. His HULK pitch to Universal ended up with his first big studio gig and a co-writing credit on the 2003 film. An acclaimed unproduced draft for SILVER SURFER wound up being used as the story for FANTASTIC FOUR II: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER. He has written other projects, produced and unproduced, including PRIME, BUCK ROGERS, IRON FIST and others, and hopes to add this One-Page Screenplay to his files of criminally unproduced work.
Production has just wrapped on his screenplay for the live-action BEN 10:ALIEN SWARM, coming to Cartoon Network this fall.
Though he's never worked with or met Megan Fox, he offers this One-Page Screenplay as a good faith jumping-off point.

Best on page to date. Now he get's to fuck his best friend for the rest of his life! Who doesn't want to do that!
I call foul!
No way those are Warner Brothers margins.
NO WAY!
(We liked the part about the Mandelbrotian spheres though - they ROCK!)
Wasn't this the premise of a beer commercial not long ago?
This is bogus. This is not formatted in the style WB uses.
Brilliant!
Can't wait to see this movie...not!
To say that's a little weird at the end, I believe they call it bro rape.
Just a suggestion.....
It would work much better as a musical.
John, was the cat okay . . . ?
Wow.
