Finished this script by Jason Smilovic.
Wow. Smilovic can write. The plot flies along. Story's about a man that gets to relive his life over and over and shows the different paths he takes by making different decisions.
Very interesting. A page-turner. Here's a great example of the plot always staying ahead of its reader. Whenever that happens, you've got a great script.
However, the question is, will it make a great movie? After THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE, it's hard to say. Sometimes, concepts like these work great on the page but end up unfilmable. This might be the case here.
REPLAY is better than the TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE though because it has a villain. That certainly helps but would it make a great movie? I have my doubts. The constant switching throughout time can grow old on screen.
You'd have to get this type of material into the hands of Fincher in order to make it work.
