I get a lot of reports about allegedly "Hot" unknown screenwriters. The reports usually purport to be held in the utmost secrecy, with only the top mostest high up dudes in all of Hollywood Land a looking at em. Lots of them are full of B.S. Very very few of these 'hot tips' come to pass. But every now and again something like that BOONDOCK SAINTS fella comes rearing up like a mack truck. Well... I've been hearing off and on from quite a few people about this fella named Jason Towne. Whoever he is, he's getting about 5 of my regular spies to ask me about his script and who he is. So here I go. The script is called BANDITS and ex-Quentin Tarantino manager Cathryn Jaymes is allegedly pushing his script as the next, Reservoir Dogs. The script and writer are allegedly on some big peoples' lips. Well that's all fine and dandy, and I hope Jason Towne the best a luck, but what the hell is this BANDITS about? Do they need badges? Do they eat Fritos? Do they know the Hamburglar? I don't know, but something is up with this script. Hopefully it'll be a good film someday, or if it's bs... well it'll rot in the script reading chambers of the studio catacombs.... Only time will tell...
