Script for EWJ film written according to TenNapel


Had a short but pleasant correspondence with Doug TenNapel regarding me writing an EWJ feature script for a scriptwriting assignment in university. I pondered on how to develop it further and he replied saying this:

"I already have a finishd EWJ feature script and wouldn’t generally allow someone else to write the feature. It might be a good idea for a class, that’s fine, but it would be a longshot on the feature deal. It’s always better to create your own thing.

Doug TenNapel"

I don't know if this means he wrote a script for an EWJ feature around the days of the show or if it's something more recent but it does intrigue me a fair deal.

What are people's thoughts on this?

I emailed him about if there would ever be a chance of a movie happening with him being involved. All he said was "There's always a chance." Who knows but honestly I have always wanted to see this happen, especially if Mr. TenNapel wrote it himself. I have a feeling it will happen someday, but not anytime soon.

I feel it's the right time for it now but I've already had a rant about that with you so I won't say anything else!
