My Hit Man



This Hollywood life is one of heavy heartbreaks and steep hills. I have written about the good, screamed about the bad and cried about the rest. But once in a while, and lately, more often than not, something great happens and you feel a little more inflated than your usual flat front tire on a bumpy bike path.

Today my super, screenwriter husband got word that his latest script made it onto TWO Hollywood insider lists, two lists that make up the favorite screenplays of 2011 to a group of top executives who make the movies and really matter. If a writer is lucky enough to get handpicked to be on even one of these lists, they are suddenly a racer in a good pole position on the oily track of the Hollywood Grand Prix.

Since only one list was officially announced today I will simply spit up one link and one mention below.

My man, in all his hairy glory, wrote a beyond butt-kicking script called SUBJECT ZERO about zombies and family life and insanity. Go to THE HIT LIST  if you want to see the above caption and some other cool cats who made the top favorite all-star Hollywood scripts of 2011 list on Tracking Board.

To say I am proud is as gross an understatement as saying a Kardashian wedding is a tasteful affair and a lasting relationship. So, I will only say this.

"Fuck yeah!"

Congrats on the news. Did you ever hear about an indie film called Subject Two? It's another Frankenstein-inspired movie with a 'Subject' title, produced a few years ago. Yours sounds larger, though... Any influence?
