I got a nudge today about the John Malkovich Script Project that Sony are running in collaboration with the great man himself:
“Make a movie with Malkovich.
The Vaio Online Script Project (http://www.vaio-john.com/) is a unique opportunity to collaborate with one of todayís true renaissance men.
Through his many creative endeavours but particularly through acting and directing for both screen and stage John Malkovich is someone who genuinely recognises and encourages talent.
And now you have the chance to work with him. The idea and process is very simple. John has written the first scene to a movie. What happens in the next scene is up to you and the web community. Scenes can be uploaded to the site and after each month one successful scene will be chosen by John.
Anyone can contribute at any point throughout the project. You might have a killer idea for the end of the movie and wait for the last scene. The process will be repeated monthly until John is happy that we have a very special script.
The project starts on November 16th who knows how it will endÖ”
This looks quite a interesting idea, but with the Novel still in full swing, I’m not sure I’ll have much time take part.
Just watching him read his bit of screenplay out made me a little warm and fuzzy. It’s like when Ken goes all actory when he’s pitching a new idea for a film, I could sit there and listen to him all day…
Good luck to anyone that does take part.
