"Dragon's Den Studios Boss Essex Greenlight Three Projects
In an attempt to jumpstart his fledgling studio, James Essex has purchased three original screenplays and authorized all three in less than a month. No script was rewritten.
The screenplays were deemed good enough, and Essex moved on through greenlighted a budget and casting all three scripts. When interviewed earelier today, Essex responded, "We are comfortable with the current version, so there is no need to go through several dozen rewrites, we'll just go withteh initial author's vision."
Insiders beleive that this is an attempt to put Dragon's Den Studios on the map sooner than its colleagues did. After all, Global Pictures took four years to release their first film and Killer Studios, the third to form, took two and a half years. None of the four previous studios took less than seventeen months to release their first film, but Essex has grand plans for his studio.
The first script to be greenlit was a fantasy story that should begin shooting some time in June. The other two scripts, a horror movie and a bio-pic should begin shooting in July.
Casting saw several virtual unknowns getting large roles in the films, and some experts wonder if that will end up being a smart cost cutting role or a sacrifice of free marketing in the name of economy.
