Note: This blog post originally appeared on 16 July 2008 for my personal website, and updated here with notes. When I went to Borders this past weekend, I was specifically looking for any magazines with info on The X-Files: I Want To Believe that’s coming out on 25 July 2008. Amazingly, the pre-release publicity was quite thin. Unlike all the summer superhero movies with multiple magazine cover stories, I could only find two:Creative Screenwriting and TV Guide. I was somewhat reluctant to get Creative Screenwriting since the top tag line read “Ka-Ching! Spec Screenplays Are Selling Again” for an article about the multi-million dollar prices that some scripts are fetching. When people find out that I’m a writer, I’m usually asked if I write screenplays. My answer is always no, and that puzzles some people. |
