urusai - you've got _three_ days... pick any book you like. heck, take three years. unless you've completely mastered cinematic storytelling, are fully cognizant of the realities of film production and competently prepared to convince the person with the checkbook that the film will appeal to as wide an audience as possible... you won't produce anything other than the most trite fanfic, e.g., the sort of script hollywood is (figuratively) drowning in. seriously, there must be at least 100,000 scripts in circulation around here at any given time. that's not an exaggeration. they seem to be more common than demo tapes of mediocre rap artists.
These are absolutely beautiful, particularly 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes on page 3. I can only hope a movie gets made... and maintains this level aritistry.-Pie
Brin's Uplift War Series was the best. In the 80's I wrote a game based on the books. But only got it 75% done, then the computer company's os was killed by big billy g, and I didn't have the time to move it to a new platform.
I thought the 'potato' in the first two trailers was all wrong, and in the third trailer it looked like what I expected.Sure would be nice if they really made the movie.-Fratm
I loved the series, but honestly, he really phoned-in on Legacy don't you think? Quite disappointing. :(Back to the matter in hand; FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEONE MAKE EON INTO A MOVIE!

It would be nice to be able to download the winning entrant, I'd like to show it to others without having to stream it off the site every time.

"Unpublished third book?"Unpublished but written? Wow, it boggles the mind. That's cool.

It does not go on forever, just until they reach the end of time.

@digi2k6That would be a great idea, but movie industries don't care what you want. They care about what they think you want.
