Help me cast the fantasy movie of Dreamsnake.
Dreamsnake itself is science fiction, but the chance that a movie might be made is in the realm of fantasy.
Some years back I wrote a screenplay for Dreamsnake. It was too long (150 pages rather than the acceptable-unless-it’s-Lawrence-of-Arabia 120), but before I worked on it anymore I thought it would be interesting to hear it read aloud.
Did it make sense?
Was it too episodic? (It’s a quest novel; of course it’s episodic. It would make a better miniseries than movie.)
Was the dialogue I’d written speakable by a human being?
