<\/span><\/div>\n
This recent draft of “Fraggle Rock” was a long haul, for some reason. I know, the cartoon me was wandering around in a metaphoric desert for a while, and some of you were concerned. It just took a while to figure out some things. There were questions posed by producers and the studio that I had to have answers to. And they were significant questions… about the lead character’s arc and uh, the whole plot and stuff. Then I realized that there may just be TOO MUCH happening in this story. My tendency is to overwrite, then after a few weeks, chisel things way down again. It’s happened on the last three scripts I’ve written. I suddenly see the story from a bird’s eye view and realize that I’ve written a miniseries. I should just have the word “SIMPLIFY” in giant letters on my office wall.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
So things are simpler, or perhaps I should say “streamlined.” I’ve changed a lot of act one and moved an entire section of act two. And there are a lot more jokes. I feel strongly about this draft… I really love it, and I get excited thinking about actually making it into a movie.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Now I’ll hear what the Henson team thinks… what the Weinstein team thinks… and most importantly, what Harvey thinks.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
On a different note:<\/span><\/span> I know many of you heard that there was a possibility of a NEW segment being shot for the Fraggle Rock Series boxed set. It was to be a mini-episode for Red Fraggle to star in. I wrote a script for it, and we were days away from shooting, but forces beyond our control prevented it (and by “forces,” I mean contracts and legalities that were not yet ironed out with the distributor). Sorry for all you fans who had anticipated that. It was a fun segment, but it was only going to have one Fraggle in it anyway (Red is the only new puppet that has been created so far). I think that in the end, it will be all the more glorious to let the movie mark the Fraggles’ official return.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Some of you have asked for any tiny spoiler about the movie… one shred of detail from the script. So here goes. Ready?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
There are two jokes about catapults.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Boom. Spread the word.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
