David Linde’s Lava Bear Makes First Spec Buy

COMMENTS (15)

• I still don’t understand why Linde brought on Metzger… And production is (tentatively) scheduled on this for a year from now?? That doesn’t instill confidence. More questions than answers at this point.

  • Clearly you don’t know them, their track record or their relationships. Or have an odd bone to chew…

• We saw this fantastic script. David Linde and Tory are smart to grab this. It is exactly the kind of film studios miss. Can be done well for right price and play to the masses. It is creepy and scary. Well done to all. Why wait till 2013 to make this??

• When you think assistant you think Pete, you think Billy, you think Tara. If your assistant is named L.D. Goffigan, you know that ten years from now he’ll either be delivering lectures, or his work will be the topic of one.

  • What?
    What an idiotic statement.

  • Thank you, mother of L.D. Goffigan. (Who as an assistant was known as Larry)

• In the vein of The Strangers, INTRUSION is about a young woman who moves across the country to San Francisco after her fiance breaks off their engagement. While trying to make a fresh start, she soon finds herself the victim of several break-ins and suspects she may have a stalker. However, as the assault on all aspects of her life escalates, she realizes that she has become the focus of something much more sinister. Contained, high concept franchise piece.

• It’s a really good script and should be made. I hope they get the right director for it…

• Film Student and Ganz. You are good at finding info on a script now the hard part go write one as good as this one or whatever you are going to do after community college and stop spending mom and dad’s $ wasting day away being insignificant.

  • Yeah, god forbid people actually contribute to the story in the comments. Not everyone wants to be a writer.

  • @Anonymous,

    Cool story, bro. Maybe throw in some punctuation here and there next time. I mean, it won’t help much — seeing as how pants-crappingly incoherent your post was — but give it shot some time. Just for grins.

    And I echo what Ben said. You lashed out at someone for — GASP! — actually adding something to the discussion.

• Anonymous, or more accurately someone clearly affiliated with the project, why get so angry over two people who posted the logline. This is clearly a spec that went out wide under a different name, acknowledged in the article. Everyone knows what it’s about.

• I say “kudos” to this new and upcoming writer. While most people may talk about writing a screenplay, few actually do. Look forward to seeing it in theaters and possibly getting a chance to read it myself. Nice to know there are people who are still recognizing new talent.
