Okay, so at today's count we have 104 pages, so I'm nearly there. The way things have been going these past few days I should be done by Tuesday, patience permitting. Might do a little more tonight if Final Draft has the decency to speed up instead of going at snails pace.
Right now there's not a great deal of change to update on from the last post. I've tweaked one of the characters to make him more American. I might include a Central European character, maybe Dutch or Belgian, to give the film more international possibility.
Anyway, that is about it. I guess the next useful post here will probably be when the first draft itself is actually completed. Until then.

First Draft
So, quick intro. This is a blog that I will use to track my progress from the completion of my initial draft of the screenplay 'Gentlemen from Hell' through to its third draft completion stage.
So far, my initial concept has been twisted somewhat throughout the course of the initial draft. I have gone from six of the original British squad to five half way through the draft, and when the draft is completed I will be changing them yet again in an attempt to make the script more marketable to an international audience.
Right now, the goal remains pushing the first draft through to completion. At this point I am coming towards the start of the third act, which at this stage in the game is somewhere I wanted to be alot earlier than now. However, taking into account that I had to redevelop my final year project idea after ditching my initial plan, it's not entirely surprising that I'm being a little slow about it.
Anyway, here's to cracking on and getting this thing done. Page 88 at the start of business today.
