Thank you for visiting this ambitious project.
Wiki's have been revolutionizing the way we do everything from learning to organizing to buying. One area that has seen little involvement from wiki's is in the entertainment sector...which makes no sense! We are the one's who are watching, listening and reading what is mass produced. Why can't we have more say in the actual product? This is where wikiScreenPlay comes in. Throughout the next few months we will be able to see what will happen if society is able to collaborate on a project. As the first attempt we are going to be working on a comedy.
How will this work:
Every Monday a different question will be posed to the public. Such as "Which character should have a love interest?" or "What would be a good way to poke fun at this character?" and all the way up to "Which character should turn on his friends?" There will then be open discussions, comments and emails to discuss the best possible answers to the questions. After this collaboration the best alternatives will be placed to a vote on each Friday morning. The entire weekend will be open for voting and on Sunday night the direction which the screenplay will be headed is decided.
In the end the entire skeleton of the screenplay will be set. All that will be left is the putting of pen to paper. The public will then get a final review of the finished screenplay with a chance to send in possible edits or changes. Once there is a majority whom feel comfortable with the finalized product, we will begin our attempt to find a production studio to actual film our movie! Hopefully by then there will be a large amount of press over this new media process and studios will be anxious to see how a box office crowd would flock to a movie that they wrote.
Imagine being able to sit in the theater and tell your friends and family that the joke that they just laughed at was written by you. Or gloating to everyone after the movie is finished that you had supplied the ending. These are possibilities once we all come together and show what the world can do!
