ive read 10 pages so far and it seems horrible! by horrible i mean nothing like the book and a lot like trying to copy a certain famous novel turned movie . The characters seem nothing like the book characters, quite the opposite i would say.
That was fairly terrible. Other commenters are correct, it really comes across as "The Sexy Throne Games" mash up. I'd actually like to see how it turned out on screen though. Any pilot that has a sex scene in the 1st scene gets an eye role from me, not because I don't like sex scenes, but because it's such a lame way of gettting attention. I've read the books and a truer version doesn't appeal either. I think the "contest" is such a fluffy premise its hard to take seriously as a concept.
i read the first one when it came out, and it was quite fun to read. its a cute love story for teens. although i haven't got around to reading the next one. and i still haven't read the rest of the script, i have a crazy assignment deadline for tomorrow. so will read the whole thing tomorrow evening
I for one, didn't hate the book, which is probably the reason why I deslike (what little I've read of this script) it so much. I had incredibly low expectations for the novel, so when I read it I actually lked it (obviously my expectations were almost non existant), and this is so far from the novel, I mean they only took the concept. Oh well, I never thought it was going to get picked up in the first place, so...
i love love love love love this version. it's gritty and sex filled and a lot less innocent than the books which makes it a whole lot more interesting but i think i'm the only one that thinks that way
UPDATE: Holy fuck this is legit... Here is the link if anyone wants to see some clips from the show http://americaleger.tumblr.com/post/74885383802/paperclipring-its-the-selection-2-0-piloet-i
If anyone else thinks it's fake (like I did) here are some clips from the pilot that never got aired http://americaleger.tumblr.com/post/74885383802/paperclipring-its-the-selection-2-0-piloet-i
Thanks! I love reading scripts! I think the CW should try and air the pilot anyway (maybe promoting it as a movie or something) and see what happens before moving away from a pilot that costed them so much.
This was the most horrible thing ever Aspen is stupid America is a crying baby there are weird characters Lucy is a tramp Maxon is a douche bag AND THE ENTIRE DAMN PLOT IS CHAOS NO FREAKING WONDER IT GOT DROPPED THANK THE LORD it wouldn't have worked anyone ans of the book (like me) would have rioted and the tv show would have gotten shot to hell and the writers would have had hell to pay not to mention the fact THAT THESE CHARACTERS ARE THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF THE BOOK AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO AN ADAPTATION THEY NEED TO BE AT LEAST SIMILAR in the books America is nice but a badass who says like it is Maxon is PERFECTION KIND SWEET MEEK HUMBLE GENEROUS GORGEOUS A GENTLEMAN AND ACTUALLY CARES Aspen is retarded but a pretty decent guy Lucy is a cry baby the Queen is soft spoken Celeste is an even bigger bitch AND WHERE THE HELL DID ALL THESE OTHER CHARACTERS COME FROM!?!??! AND WHY IS THE BEGINNING SO DAMN INAPPROPRIATE DID THEY FORGET THE PPL WATCHING THIS WOULD BE 12-17 BECAUSE THE BOOK FALLS UNDER THE YOUNG ADULT CATEGORY?!??!?!? retards i'm so happy this got dropped it would have been horrible and Kiera Cass would have flipped
"There’s sex happening, folks. We’re just not seeing it... yet." I was stunned when I read that line.. on the first page.. This is horrible.. Nothing like the book..
ok i hate to be bitter but im a 13 year old girl and just got done reading the selection seise and you should keep the same as they wrote it lucy ends up with aspen any was and if you had the time i would be great full if you tride it agin an didn't make maxon such a dirty man that is discusting!!!!! did you not read the books !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! uggghhh people
Nothing like the book!!! I don't really like it. It's awful. And Maxon is a totally asshole. And America is more stupid than in the book. I'm very very disappointment . And Maxon and Lucy? WTF?!?! That never happen!!! Maxon is totally sweet in the book, before America, he didn't kiss another girl even. And now, for nothing is like Christian Grey? I HATE IT. I'm sooooo angry right now!! I wanna kill somebody . -_-

ReplyDeleteYeah, this is just awful.
ReplyDeleteI'm of two minds on that.
ReplyDeleteThe books were laughable, so don't bother following them. But a sexier Hunger Games by writers who watch too much GoT doesn't appeal to me either.
No wonder it failed to get to series, awful. The book wasnt particularly good either. CW made a good choice to not bother with this.

ReplyDeletePeople who wanted it becaue of the book would be so much disappointed because it's nothing like that. Thank god they didn't choose that crap! :)
ReplyDeleteis there a script online of the first pilot?
ReplyDeletei read the first one when it came out, and it was quite fun to read. its a cute love story for teens. although i haven't got around to reading the next one.
ReplyDeleteand i still haven't read the rest of the script, i have a crazy assignment deadline for tomorrow. so will read the whole thing tomorrow evening

ReplyDeleteOh well, I never thought it was going to get picked up in the first place, so...
Does anyone know if there is anywhere to watch either of the pilots online
ReplyDeleteEven with a shoddy script, this show could have still been something special. Oh well
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else think this is fake? Cause the writing just seems... unprofessional
ReplyDeleteThis is just awful. I love the books but would never watch this show. There are way to many plot twist especially for one show.
ReplyDeletei love love love love love this version. it's gritty and sex filled and a lot less innocent than the books which makes it a whole lot more interesting but i think i'm the only one that thinks that way
ReplyDeleteWow, The CW dropped something that involved a love triangle?
ReplyDeleteI'm 99% this is a joke. For fuck sake look at the first couple of lines. No way this is real and if it is I am siverely disapointed
ReplyDeleteIt seems unprofessional and unrealistic. No way would some one fuck up something this hard and add this many new characters.

ReplyDeleteThe first pilot was like the booka this one added more Game of Thrones and hunger games
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love reading scripts!

ReplyDeleteIs this a joke? That is seriously not the beginning of the series!!! If this is actually real I can 100% understand why they cancelled it!!!
ReplyDelete"There’s sex happening, folks. We’re just not seeing it... yet."
ReplyDeleteI was stunned when I read that line.. on the first page.. This is horrible.. Nothing like the book..
As surprising as it sounds, this actually isn't fake. There's the pilot video online, with actors and production and all that jazz.
ReplyDeleteyeah. you are
ReplyDeleteHaha I really couldn't believe I'd just read that. I was like crap, this really is awful.
ReplyDeleteok i hate to be bitter but im a 13 year old girl and just got done reading the selection seise and you should keep the same as they wrote it lucy ends up with aspen any was and if you had the time i would be great full if you tride it agin an didn't make maxon such a dirty man that is discusting!!!!! did you not read the books !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! uggghhh people
