Scripts the Movie Industry Shouldn’t Have Missed
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – Sometimes big and successful corporations in Hollywood can miss the point. Every year or so, another story surfaces about “the one that got away” – that blockbuster for one filmmaker that execs at the production company down the street dismissed with a wave a few months before. Joey Seymour hopes that Hollywood does not miss the potential in his screenplays. Killing Dick and Other Screenplays by Joey Seymour (now available from AuthorHouse) is a collection of three unsold screenplays.
The title piece deals with verbal abuse and its victims. Josh, a teenager who constantly suffers by the harsh tongue of his stepfather Dick, finally decides to kill Dick. In an unexpected twist, he finds Dick already dead. He is marked the likely suspect, having all the motives to commit murder. Josh gets lost in the irony of trying to find the killer of a man he long wanted dead.
In this book’s two other screenplays, Seymour tackles love, sex, and romance from a man’s perspective. “The Perfect Score” centers on Tom, who gets himself and his friends in hot water in an effort to impress a girl. This script is a joyride along the path of trouble Tom gets himself into as he searches for love.
“Vanessa,” a creative blend of three storylines detailing Fischer Harrison’s life, is the third entry in Seymour’s collection. A romantic comedy, “Vanessa” tells how the appearance and disappearance of a girl in Fischer’s life changes his destiny.
