I am going to star in, or write a movie before I die!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brad Russ · 07-05-2009, 08:56 AM

I am so confident of this, and for those who may be wondering, no I haven't been drinking.

I've been working on a script for many years, and I honestly think it's good enough to be made into a movie. I've actually corresponded through the mail with Penelope Spheeris many times throughout the years, and plan on having her direct it. Hopefully she'll let me star in it, but if not, that's okay. Writing it, and having it put on screen will be good enough for me. Even a cameo in the film would be fine with me. I know I probably sound insane right now, lol!! But this is one dream that I honestly think will come true. I even plan on using the first names of several S.O. members as some of the characters in the film.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this with all of you before I become famous.

Sounds good Brad, I know you will get it done, and good luck. I am also working on a movie script, for a horror type movie.

Thanks Kyle, and goodluck with your script too, I'm sure you can do it as well. My film is semi autobiographical, with some fictional things added for dramatic effect. It's basically the story of my life, and it's called "Silent Nights". My goal is to finish writing it before the end of the year.

Little Mel, I hope you have some good luck with your writing project. I wish you lots of success!

No problem, and thank you Brad. I hope so, lol thanks. Yours sounds really good, and interesting..I'd honestly, definitely would want to see it someday. You picked a really good title for it too, seems to fit your life story too, from what I know about you for sure. Keep me posted and updated on it. I'd like to be able to read the script, or see the movie with the script and ideas in it sometime. Let me know.

I agree- he can definitely do it and is properly motivated towards it!

Good luck and keep working on your dream Brad. I know how you feel I have been working on a screenplay for two years now.

Schmoopie · 07-06-2009, 02:25 AM

That is awesome news, Brad and Kyle! It's not a crazy thing at all, to write a screenplay! And Brad... Penelope Spheeris??? How cool is that?! She directed
"Wayne's World" didn't she? I know she's directed other stuff, but that's the one film that comes to mind. How did you get in touch with her?

Good luck to both of you, and keep us posted!

That's great! I'd love to know of all of your progress! It's nice that you have such great ambitions for yourself!

Brad Russ · 07-07-2009, 05:44 AM

Thanks everyone for your kind words of encouragement. Your words have only helped to make me more motivated. I will let you all know when it's finished, and if it does ever hit theatres, I hope you all will go and see it. I can even put together an S.O. screening, and we can all see it together. Now that would be a blast. Just bring your hankies, cause it's kind of sad!! Right now I'm about halfway finished, and I'll update all of you on my progress. Thanks again for the kind words and motivation guys ya'll are awesome.
