EXCLUSIVE: In competitive bidding, Endgame Entertainment won a spec auction for Flashback, the Will Honley script that made the 2011 Black List. The logline: After becoming the first human to break the speed of light, a NASA pilot is struck with amnesia, and in the search for the memories of who he was, he discovers he has the ability to travel back in time. Honely will do a quick pass before the script goes out to directors. The scribe is fresh out of the UCLA graduate screenwriting program and is repped by Verve and Mindframe Entertainment.

i smell scale…
Obviously scale if we’re talking about Endgame. probably development hell as well
I smell BITTER.
I take it you’ve either never worked with Endgame, or you work for Endgame.
agreed. this script was lingering in the market. and as much as i like what endgame does, they’re not in a competitive situation with anyone.
decent writing, but yeah, it needs a rewrite to make the script actually pop a la a SOURCE CODE.
This was one of the better scripts I read last year, can’t wait to see what endgame does with it.
Endgame will develop it endlessly into a mediocrity and probably never make it.
The three words I never thought I’d ever see in the same sentence: “Competitive bidding” and “Endgame.”
His managers had no clue what they were doing, so I’m sure it’s a terrible deal. The script is really good though.
This sounds like an angry, amateur exec that did not get the script. And fyi, agents & lawyers make the financial deals, not managers.
Actually, the guy’s repped at Verve.
Doomed unfortunately.
I hope by “quick pass” they mean “page one rewrite”, because this was probably the worst script on the Black List besides a certain Facebook comedy that shall not be named.
I hate to break from all the bitter people who troll these news stories to bash other writers while they sit on a pile of unsold scripts and nibble on three-day old pizza, but hey — try applauding your comrades for once. It’s good karma.
This script was great and the managers are young guys that got it sold to a top financier. I’d say they probably did something right.
Congrats Will, good for you.
