Here’s an interesting little tidbit for you aspiring screenwriters. 20th Century Fox has made a deal with a co-oop of writers including Ted Elliot, Terry Rossio, John August, and Stuart Beattie (among others) where the writers will receive $300,00 upfront for a script (minimum) PLUS offering them 2.5% of the gross if the film makes it through production and is released.
