about me

Hi everyone,

I came to London in June 1990 and after using the underground thought of a book about a monster that lives in the tunnel system and attacks people. After 20 years of me maturing as an individual and reading books, improving and adding to the plot and sub plot I have created a story that appeals to a wide audience range and by having Americans in the story, my idea is to also make it attractive to Hollywood and the possibility of having it turned into a film. As you will be able to read I have exploited every angle possible in this book it has been 20 years in the making.
I paid careful attention to highlight the differences between the two cultures (British and American) and exploit it to the maximum playing on stereotypes but without being too obvious.
The way the story is written at the moment, in this script format is its strength. It’s direct and straight to the point, descriptive just enough to make the characters and plot understandable without going on and on.

Underground

Pedro Macosta

Underground is a book within a book of a creature that lives in the London underground with Hollywood coming to London for a film.


Underground is a book based on a book written about a creature half man half monster that lives in the London Underground.
The book was a big hit, a massive best seller and inevitably Hollywood wants to turn it into a film. So, a studio executive under huge pressure to make money in an age when movies are made by spotty kids with camcorders and breaking box office records, goes to London himself with he’s assistant Sue and Frank, an intern just out of college, to meet the writer and buy the rights for a film.
The author of the book, UNDERGROUND is in a psychiatric hospital suffering from a nervous breakdown unable to cope with his new success.
With the pressure to get the film done in record time and under the lowest budget possible, the pressure piles on and a chaotic scenario develops. The already vulnerable book author plays the monster. In a suit with huge sharp claws he has a nervous breakdown, taking on the monster persona he chases everyone down the corridors and tunnels . But there is a twist...

Hi SChamblee, Thank you for your views. Its true that I’m not from California and the 'parking lot' rather than 'car park' is meant to be that way since this is a book aimed at an English audience. Also if you read carefully Frank rents in a run down area, the cheapest he could find in order... view book

it's not really a film script, its a book, but because the book is about a film being made about a book, it feels like a script view book
