It's time for another entry to our growing catalog of One-Page Screenplays, which we eventually plan on collating into a single, handy volume and distributing to sample-needy executives too A.D.D. time-pressed to read full-length scripts. (A nominal PayPal fee of $49.95 is all that's needed to reserve your copy -- order today!)
Past One-Page Screenplay contributors have included industry vets, but today, we're featuring an up-and-comer. Writer/director Greg Marcks (11:14, Echelon Conspiracy) has already attracted top-name talents like Hilary Swank, Ben Foster, Edward Burns, and Martin Sheen to his projects. Next up, he's adapting Jonathan Lethem's L.A.-set indie rocker novel You Don't Love Me Yet for the big screen. For us, however, he offers nothing less than a story of life and death with a side of fries.
The Official Bio:
Released in 2005, Greg Marcks' feature debut 11:14 -- an intricately plotted suburban noir with a wicked sense of humor -- quickly became a cult classic. Marcks then wrote scripts for such studios as Lions Gate Films, Summit Entertainment, and DreamWorks.
Marcks' second directorial effort, the techno-thriller Echelon Conspiracy, stars Shane West, Ed Burns, Ving Rhames, Martin Sheen, and Jonathan Pryce. The DVD and Blu-Ray drops on July 21. Marcks is currently adapting Jonathan Lethem's novel You Don't Love Me Yet -- a relationship comedy set within an L.A. band -- for himself to direct.
