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.
