Alex Robbins: Entertainment attorney and producer in Los Angeles, California.

Alex, thanks for your reply to me. I would like to reply to you in a less public forum. Can you send me an e-mail or a phone number? Or write to me at Meriwethershipley@yahoo.com. Thank you

Hey all!

Wondering if I could get your opinion since I'm fairly new to the screenwriting process/movie world.

I was approached by a fairly well known entrepreneur and owner of a smaller movie studio in LA (I can't share his name since we're still discussing - and I'm still hoping :)) several months ago, asking if I'd be interested in collaborating on an aviation project. Of course I said yes, and then I heard nothing back.

Several months passed and he suddenly email me that he wants to option my book for a movie. Woohoo! Yes, of course. Let's talk. He emailed me a pretty standard sample contract asking if it's something I could agree to. It had a few typos and was dated 2003, but something I could work with. I told him that it all looked good, asked a few standard questions, and he said that his attorney would put together a real contract/offer the next week. He also said that the project was on a very well known producer's desk now that we'd talked, and that I'd be hearing back in a few days...that was over a month ago and he disappeared again.

I'm old enough to not get too glassy-eyed at a dangling carrot. I'm used to roller coaster rides so I just throw my arms up and enjoy the ride since I can't control which way it's going, but what should this process look like? Is this legitimate or does it sound a little shady?

My copyrighted screenplay "Hope Saves Manhattan " is ready for a Table read. I have the cast I don't have the space. I have made inquires to Shetler Studios as well as The Producers Club. The price is a little steep I am trying to stay at about $25 an hour for a 3 hour rental. There will be 22 actors, I would need (4) large tables and (30) chairs. If anyone knows of a place I would be grateful

Hey Alex, Thanks for reaching out...Give me a holler so we can set up a meeting! Best, Bob Goodman
