Hey all - sorry, I'm going to annoy you all with more audio drama talk! After posting for ages about will I/won't I, I could never find the spark to do another Bond audio show. I didn't want to do an adaptation. And never could find the right original idea to ignite my creative spark. However, recently I had some inspiration and have been writing again.
I just finished the first cut of this script (about 30 pages). I would like to finish this, produce it and release it and see how it goes. I still have a lot of work to do on the script. I'm starting my first re-write, but I am not the most gifted writer, so I figured it may not hurt to ask one of the Bond experts here to see if someone would be interested in collaborating and reviewing the script/story and adding their input in a second draft (credited, of course!) If anyone is interested let me know!
Of course, writing for audio is a little different, so the dialogue is more descriptive and try to make it as normal sounding as possible so it flows when recorded.
Some background...
Recently I started developing the framework of a four part story that I really like and would love to develop. I started writing it, but then decided to take a step back. I decided that before I spent a few months writing this larger story and another few months recording and producing it, it may be better to start small. Don't want to do all that work, only to have it flop and no one listen
I figured it was better to do a "pilot" of sorts. A one off. See how it is received and if people would like to hear more I can continue. So I created a kind of prologue episode to that larger story that stands as a one off, but would lead into the next story if successful. It also will serve as a continuation of the original Casino Royale series released in 2007/8 but will have a new Bond actor and cast. (Figured it makes sense to start fresh it has been well...almost 12 years now
)
If this works, I could see this possibly being a several season show or various mini-series and also potentially include other writers joining on board and getting the opportunity to have their stories come to life.
