The third draft of Return to Earth screenplay is now (finally!) complete. It’ll be winging it’s way into the hands of a surprisingly long list of interested parties over the next few days once it’s copy checked.
Watch this space for feedback news.
November 4th, 2009 by Andy Coughlan | CommentsIf you have time, and want to feel all warm and squishy, could I trouble you to add either a link to Geeky Gifts on your own site/blog, or, if your feeling uber-generous, perhaps one of the nifty banners below?
If you’d like reciprocal links back to your site, let me know and I’ll set up links to you from my blog (if there isn’t one already) and the Return to Earth site.
How’s that!? A two for one offer!
I’ve got four banners in two sizes -
1) 120×60 Generic Button:
2) 120×60 Film Funding Oriented Button:
3) 468×94 Generic Banner:
4) 468×94 Film Funding Banner:
5) The Text Link:
As an extra incentive, the owners of the top five sites that refer the most people through to Geeky Gifts get a credit on the film.
With Geeky Gifts being primarily a UK thing, if any of you fab people beyond the shores of Blighty want to get involved, let me know and I’ll knock up some Return to Earth banners too. Let me know below…
Let’s make this movie!
September 3rd, 2009 by Andy Coughlan | CommentsIn further efforts to generate funds for the film, I’ve created another web site!
It’s over at http://geekygifts.co.uk and, with the evenings drawing in and Christmas just around the corner, I urge/beg/implore you to check out and perhaps to consider purchasing one or two gifts for your loved ones through the site.
August 26th, 2009 by Andy Coughlan | CommentsFrom one extreme to the other. The first draft was written in less than two weeks, the second in a little less than six months. But I got there in the end.
Now I’m just doing a polish up and it’ll be winging it’s way out to the various interested parties in the next few days.

March 21st, 2009 by Andy Coughlan | CommentsI got some belated feedback from an actor I didn’t know had even read the first draft of the script, but I was hoping to approach later. He liked it and wants to talk more about it, which is a good sign.
I won’t get carried away naming names for the moment, but if you saw Othello with Ewan McGregor and Chiwetel Ejiofor at the Donmar Warehouse, you’ll have briefly seen this man.
So that’s about four actors provisionally lined up (emphasis firmly on provisionally).
More news soon…
December 3rd, 2008 by Andy Coughlan | CommentsThe second draft of Return to Earth is starting to take shape. I’ve been thinking hard about the first draft and made some major changes to better define the story. Two main characters have not survived so far, and some supporting characters have come to the fore, along with some major sequences being dropped.
The aim is to make Return to Earth on as tight a budget as we can, so I’m limiting the action as much as I can to the moon base, try to get a real sense of claustrophobia and unease.
I’ve also been playing with Bryce to create some views of the Moon and Earth, the results can be seen in the header graphic. Not bad, should serve us well for the visual pitch.
On the production front, I’ve secured, in the loosest possible terms, the services of a top notch sound engineer (*cough* BAFTA and OscarTM winner *cough*) and a very talented editor (no, not me!). There are also willing designers, production crew and musicians waiting in the wings.
It’s early days yet, but it’s good to know that such quality people are keen to come on board already.
