@TaroJ: #scriptchat hi everyone today Is all about Sci-Fi huge fan but never tried writing it
August 21, 2011, 7:03 pm           



 
@Mina_Zaher: @Michael_R_Grant Why? Are you writing one at the moment? *not sure, tbh* #scriptchat

@MorganRise: That's hard to answer, but I think it is not as strong as it has been. It depends which age you are marketing the genre at. #scriptchat

@Michael_R_Grant: @Mina_Zaher Not currently writing a SF screenplay, but the novels I write tend to have it buried in the mix. :) #scriptchat

@Mina_Zaher: @sweettweenie It's a bit slow for me too. Might have to get off the sofa and head to Tweetdeck. Ha! #scriptchat

@CrazyhorseFilms: RT @jeannevb: USA and EURO #scriptchat talking sci-fi.... ALL writers are welcome, not just screenwriters (psst #scifichat )
August 21, 2011, 7:05 pm           



 
@TaroJ: #scriptchat I would say the purest Sci-Fi film for years was Moon, but how much of the genre is adaptation or sequel at the moment?
August 21, 2011, 7:05 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @Michael_R_Grant I think it's the setting that makes it different. Fundamentally, sci-fi is no different from action or drama. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:05 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: Good Question RT: @Michael_R_Grant And what are the essential ingredients of Sci-Fi, as opposed to other genres? #scriptchat #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:06 pm           



 
@MorganRise: My novels focus on sci-fi too. What's your favourite kind of sci-fi to write? #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:06 pm           



 
@MorganRise: @Michael_R_Grant I think an ability to suspend reason is key to writing sci-fi. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:06 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: @LisaFromNYC welcome #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:06 pm           



 
@Mina_Zaher: @Michael_R_Grant Think you'll have an easier time with novels. But cld serve as great platform for future screenplays too. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:07 pm           



 
@TaroJ: @alli_and_that @michael_r_grant Exactly! There is so much cross over with other genres even if you look at nThe classics #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:07 pm           



 
@Michael_R_Grant: @TaroJ Loads. Heartened that the likes of @manmademoon and Neill Blomkamp are unashamed SF addicts, keen to stay in the genre. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:07 pm           



 
@Mina_Zaher: @TaroJ Loved Moon! Have you seen Super 8? If so, w/out spoilers, what did you think? #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:07 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: Is there such a thing as pure sci-fi? #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@FreddoJr: @TaroJ It's all about sequels these days. They talk sequel before releasing the 1st one & then everyone wants a trilogy. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@alanhmcdonald: Not sure any genre has essential aspects not found in other genres - alien, blade runner and star wars work bcos of character #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@Mina_Zaher: RT @sweettweenie: Is there such a thing as pure sci-fi? #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@MorganRise: @sweetteenie It depends on what you define pure sci-fi as. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: on my list to see RT: @Mina_Zahern@TaroJ Loved Moon! Have you seen Super 8? If so, w/out spoilers, what did you think? #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@Michael_R_Grant: @Mina_Zaher Probably not different to other genres, but there are ideas that clearly work better as screenplays than novels. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:09 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @MorganRise @Michael_R_Grant Arguably suspension of reason/disbelief is key in ANY script. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:09 pm           



 
@phillbarron: It seems to me lots of producers love sci-fi, but are scared because they assume it's too expensive.#scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:09 pm           



 
@Michael_R_Grant: Pretty much everything I write has a SF element to it. I go from premise - a one line idea that says 'fuck-cool' to me. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:09 pm           



 
@TaroJ: @Mina_Zaher unfortunately these days I'm a mostly a DVD guy but really been looking forward to it, looks like classic Spielberg #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: @alanhmcdonald and even those to me aren't just sci-fi, Alien for example is horror too #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@Mina_Zaher: @sweettweenie @TaroJ Let me know what think when you see it. Heard interesting feedback recently, which I'd never considered. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@Michael_R_Grant: But I tend to bury the Sci-Fi in the mix, cos I'm a firm believer that SF automatically halves your audience if it's overt. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@MorganRise: @alli_and_that Though I believe it is even more important in sci-fi...you have to think 'how would this spaceship travel?' #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@alanhmcdonald: Moon, Inception, Donnie Darko, District 9, Super 8 all examples that quality sci fi is still being made. Also indies like Primer #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: @KonradStief welcome, glad you made it #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@phillbarron: The stuff that seems to sell is the more covert sci-fi, scripts which appear to be drama or horror with a hidden sci-fi conceit. #scriptchat

@alanhmcdonald: @sweettweenie I'm not sure what pure means in this context #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:11 pm           



 
@LisaFromNYC: @alanhmcdonald ooh yeah. I really liked Primer #ScriptChat

@phillbarron: @michael_r_grant Does seem to be the case, lot of audience put off by sci-fi tag #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:12 pm           



 
@MorganRise: @sweetteenie Going back to your earlier tweet - pure SF is hard because the second word is fiction and denotes a story is needed #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:12 pm           



 
@Michael_R_Grant: @phillbarron I'm with you, Phill. It's interesting, cos if you look at the top box-office of all-time, loads of SF in there. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:12 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: @MorganRise I was thinking as in not crossing over with other genres #scriptchat

@alli_and_that: @MorganRise Definitely; a key point that's not restricted by genre. I guess the SET UP and the WORLD is more crucial in SciFi. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:12 pm

@TaroJ: #scriptchat I'm reading The greatest Sci-fis never made. Seems the expense is a huge risk in hollywood and a lot of studio interference
August 21, 2011, 7:13 pm           



 
@alanhmcdonald: @sweettweenie Fair point on Alien bt surely sci fi just means any premise possible within our scientific reality but nt poss yet #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:13 pm           



 
@FreddoJr: @sweettweenie There's no pure sci-fi. Everything is grounded in real life to bring believability to the fantastical. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:13 pm           



 
@phillbarron: @Michael_R_Grant I think that's a critical mass thing - once a movie gains a certain level of buzz, people go no matter what #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:13 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: @phillbarron but does sci-fi need to be expensive? Monsters, for example? #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:13 pm           



 
@Mina_Zaher: RT @TaroJ: #scriptchat I'm reading The greatest Sci-fis never made. Seems the expense is a huge risk in hollywood and a lot of studio interference
August 21, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@Michael_R_Grant: Arguably, most of top grossing films in many years are sci-fi.But these are A-list directors with big budgets.Risky cos of cost. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@MorganRise: @sweetteenie I guess that is difficult for any genre. Is there such a thing as pure horror? Or pure romance. I doubt it. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@Michael_R_Grant: @sweettweenie @phillbarron No it doesn't. But the more subtle SF may be a bit too subtle to be an easy sale. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@phillbarron: @sweettweenie No, absolutely not; but you say sci-fi and everyone thinks spaceships #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@Bang2write: I don't like sci fi. *Except* most of the films I love - ie. Horror - have SF bg, like ALIEN. Why do audiences "not like" SF? #scriptchat

@alanhmcdonald: @sweettweenie @phillbarron I LOVED Monsters because while it's not perfect it has this clarity of vision, unmuddled by studio #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@TaroJ: #scriptchat I love the ones from the 70s that felt a bit more pessimistic and didn't blow everything up. Soylent Green, Silent running
August 21, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@MorganRise: @allie_and_taht @phillbarron @sweettweenie Supernatural would be more fantasy than sci-fi #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@Michael_R_Grant: @Bang2write I think they do like sci-fi. Love it. But, and here's the key, when it's not presented as such. :) #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: true for any genre? RT: @Michael_R_Grant SF automatically halves your audience if it's overt. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@KonradStief: @Bang2write I suspect it's because sci-fi has been linked with juvenile literature and brain-dead action movies. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@Bang2write: Seems to me there is a division - SF enthusiasts shall we say, vs. Ppl who don't mind stuff set in space, etc? #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@phillbarron: @alli_and_that @sweettweenie Depends how it's done, I guess. Probably not Folk believe in ghosts, no one believes in warp drives #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@Michael_R_Grant: @alanhmcdonald @sweettweenie @phillbarron I liked Monsters too.But why is it that so much indie SF has arsehole main characters? #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@TaroJ: @Bang2write maybe it's the influence if TV Sci-Fi which is more readily available and often more cerebral #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @Bang2write I think the problem is SF is a genre with the type of fans who will like ANYTHING SF, good or bad. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @phillbarron @sweettweenie What about Supernatural the US TV show? Or would that be horror? #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@Mina_Zaher: @TaroJ Yeah, back in the 50's - 70's, sci-fi was definitely more political ... as w/ thriller and horror I guess. Loved that. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @Michael_R_Grant @alanhmcdonald @sweettweenie @phillbarron Because they're easier to kill off. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @Bang2write Because there's an extent to which people want to be an individual in a crowd of others. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@Michael_R_Grant: @Mina_Zaher @TaroJ I'll be very surprised if the political element doesn't come back. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@alanhmcdonald: @TaroJ Silent Running made me cry when I was about 7 :) #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@FreddoJr: @Bang2write I love things set in space. There should be more genre crossovers. Rom-coms in space, Gangster films in space. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: @MorganRise story definitely important. #scriptchat
August 21, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@Bang2write: @KonradStief @Michael_R_Grant lots of ppl say SF is not a *real* genre, but an arena #scriptchat @davidmelkevik thoughts?
August 21, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @Mina_Zaher @TaroJ And 50s-70s Sci Fi still defines the genre, which is interesting. #scriptchat

@TaroJ: #scriptchat is film even where the best of the genre is? TV has had some huge hits BSG, X-Files, Lost and 28 seasons of Star Trek

August 21, 2011, 8:03 pm           




@phillbarron: @alli_and_that Don't know if that's true. Maybe it depends on how big the plotholes are? Most don't stand up to scrutiny #scriptchat

@ruminski: #scriptchat it doesn't get much love, but A SCANNER DARKLY is an incredibly ingenious adaptation of insanely difficult source material.

@ruminski: #scriptchat the sci-fi genre has, post STAR WARS, relied way too heavily on simplistic Joseph Campell inspired vapid heroics. TAKE CHANCES.
