XOXO

Finished this script by Mark Heyman.

WILL CAMPBELL is turning 30, has just gotten a promotion and is in love with his girlfriend ELIZABETH.

He gets a “friend request” on Facebook from HELEN, a woman he doesn’t know but is intrigued by.  A couple of IMs later, they’re engaged in a hot and heavy session which makes Will question the life he’s living.  Is he really in love with Elizabeth and does he want to continue down the path he’s currently walking?

Turns out, Helen isn’t exactly who she says she is and turns obsessive.

The script is FATAL ATTRACTION.  Unfortunately, FATAL ATTRACTION is ten times the story this script is.  The writer, outside of Facebook and having Helen send a sex-tape to all of Will’s co-workers, doesn’t do much to update the tale. 

With the technology available today, it would be intriguing to show just how easy it is to stalk someone and turn their life upside-down.  How you can glean personal information and get to know someone without ever having met them.

Heyman’s a good writer.  He just needs to delve deeper into his story to truly make this a horrifying thriller.
