My CABIN FEVER 2!
Not a lot of people know this, but I was approached by Lions Gate in 2006 to write the sequel to CABIN FEVER, CABIN FEVER 2. So I wrote an outline, a treatment and broke down my sequel in point form format. I pitched the thing to LG who eventually passed on my sequel idea – saying that it was “too big” for what they had in mind. It should be said, that back then I had ZERO idea as to how to pitch a script to a Hollywood prod company. So I went about it all wrong and yes have learned from it since. If I knew then what I know now…
So, not wanting to see lots of hard work and what I considered to be some good ideas go to waste; I took my CABIN FEVER 2 material and used it as the basis for TRANCE, a film I wrote and that was shot with Dominique Swain in the lead. Don’t ask me where the film is at in terms of release, I have no fucking idea. With the imminent release of CABIN FEVER 2, I thought it would be cool to share with ya what my sequel would have been.
Reading it 3 years later, I’m so-so on it to be honest. Then again, the more a writer writes, the better he becomes. I like to think I’m a better writer now than I was 3 years ago. So I’m cutting myself some slack :) So here's a point form for my proposed CABIN FEVER sequel which I named at the time: CABIN FEVER 2: SPIKING FEVER: http://john-fallon.com/?p=760
Happy
Me too man! Can't wait to see how much they stuck to the script and how many changes they made for better or worse...
I'd rather catch your flick than watch Cabin Fever 2, bro. Sounds pretty good.
Very cool, dude! Looking forward to TRANCE!
