Hey everyone,
As some of you know I was writing a screenplay about the life of John Belushi. The Script is finished and the query letters have been sent out to the agencies, I just mailed one off to the Brillstien-Grey agency, which you know is the same agency that represented John.

I'll keep you posted.

Hopefully you'll hear something soon my man!!Fingers crossed!!

I got my first rejection letter today, I think I'll frame it.

[Scott]

Lots of people have been rejected several times, and then eventually somebody says yes and they end up doing well for themselves.

[Mike]

It must feel terrible to get a rejection letter. =(

[lennonscat]

No I am fine with it, I expect a lot more rejection letters in the future.

Very interesting! How would you say you are portraying John? Because I would never want to see another film like "Wired", which was mainly about his drug addiction and failing health.

[lennonscat]

I would never write a movie that puts John character on the line like "WIred" I wrote a very loving, but truthful telling of his life.

Heres the latest:
The agent really believes in the idea and has been very postitive. He gave me some legal advice and I am trying to follow through with what he is telling me.
That's it for now.
