My mom was the manager of a bank branch and one day, about 6-7 years ago, she met a screenwriter, Matt Johnson, that came into the bank. They talked. He saiid he wrote a movie and hoped to have it greenlit, she said I was an excellent writer for my age, and he said I should look the screenplay over and proofread it and look for errors in continuity or realism. I did, and got paid $80 for a written paper on everythingI liked, didn't lke, found weird, etc., etc.
Over the past few years, my mom or I would randomly bring it up every now and then, wondering what ever happened to it. I always thought it was an independent film, doubting that I would be lucky enough to have proofread a Hollywood script.
The movie was called "Into the Blue" and was about a group of divers finding themselves in deep trouble with a drug lord after they come upon the illicit cargo of a sunken airplane. It was a pretty good movie and I could envision it on the big screen.
Lo and behold, yesterday I was bored and I suddenly remembered this movie. And I remembered IMDb.

Apparently, there are some semi-big stars in the movie, which will be released this very year. And I proofread it and fixed errors. And I still have the original screenplay! Woohoo! :P

He edited it, I believe

I
think this is the same movie. The writer's name on IMDb sounds very familiar. I'll have to watch the trailer to see if any lines sound familiar. I think I still have the screenplay around here somewhere...
If this movie sucks, we're going to your house to beat the crap out of you. :=
Bah, I'm still gonna tell people I know the guy that wrote it. :P
If it sucks, I'll just tell people the guy who wrote it is an avid sheep-lover.
I didn't write the damn script! But I DID provide the inspration by diving into the ocean for buried treasure, in a bikini. ;)
We know you didn't write it :) It's just cooler to say that we knew the guy that wrote it.
...and have someone we know to blame. :=
Me: I know the guy who wrote "into the blue"!
them:how do you know him?
me: from the internet
them: Ah, i believe you 100%
Zooty: I know the guy who wrote "Into the Blue"!
Them: Really? You have my condolences...
;)
