TRIVIA ON SOME OF MY {Favorite} BAITS

THE WALL
- -Was originally thought of as a gay love story but was revamped into a straight love story when I realized it would be released in the same month as "Silence"
- -Original director choice was Mike Nichols.
--Reese Witherspoon was going to play the female lead until her split with Philipee.
--I still consider this one of my weakest baits in originality.

MIDNIGHT MASS
--Originally had very little to do with the Robin Williams character and centered mostly on the relationship between Winslet and Barnel.
--Williams's character was originally going to be played by Chritopher Walken.
--Original title was "Prey For The Sinners".
--I consider this my strongest bait to date as far as baitiness goes.

SILENCE
--Originally had nothing to do with gay bashing at all and was just about an attack on a child that left him comatose. I decided to make it more about my story and so the gay element was introduced.
--I spent almost two weeks writing this bait while "The Wall" was a rushed bait (written in less than an hour).
--Susan Sarandon was the original female lead.
--Although beloved by most of the baiter, I did no campaigning for this bait because I felt it too personal to try and win awards with.

THE THOUSAND YEAR REICH
--Was the first bait I ever wrote, although "Pretty Young Thing" was published first.
--Stemmed from a theory I heard that essentially said that "If Hitler had won, the jewish people would never had created Israel. The mid-east would never have become so volatile. 9/11 would never had happened". None of us would probably be here either lol.
--This has created a series of "What if" ideas that I have contemplated turning into baits.

THE VAMPIRE LESTAT
--Cillian Murphy was originally cast as Lestat.
--Lestat is a rock star in the book but this plot was removed for the bait.
--I was a little scared to release this bait because of the failure of the broadway musical based on the book.
--The synopsis was not originally written in first person.

DRAGONTOWN
--One of the baits I had the most fun writing.
--Probably had the most extensive "Coming Soon" campaign of any bait ever written; including posters, ads, and several video trailers.
--The only non-english bait I have ever written.
