I believe it's in the process of being figured out. I'm still waiting on Erik's response to some of the items I threw at him. Hopefully, it'll all come along.

So, he'll be writing a basic outline? Then the separate screenwriters will take it from their with their assigned parts?

Well, I don't mean to be authoritative about this because it's Erik's brain child, but that's the idea, as far as I know. We're going to try and figure out the basic plot and when that's ready, all the writers will be brought in.

Yes. We're almost finish, just have to sort out some details. I hope the writers can get an outline at the end of the week so they can get started. Here's a little glimpse of the story;

A private investigator is watching three tapes of people, telling their story of how they witnessed a murder. All three stories seem to be different (with a flashback). Though in the end, it turns out to be the same crime after all.
Writers can prepare a little, but we still need to be very clear about how the murder happens and stuff, so they can't start yet.
David emerges from the store slowly. He braces himself against a parked car and then keeps on walking in a nightmarish daze.

WE PULL BACK as David blends in with dozens and dozens of ordinary people, walking on an ordinary street, in an ordinary city.
