Richard the mini series

Just moved things onto a new page distinct from my own facebook page.

Have just started a web site and blog to introduce my screenplay to the
world and see if I can get some financing.
I know I had one that I let a few bits out on but this shows up using my
name so will hopefully get a few more hits!
I will add the odd scene to tease people, as it is all covered in
copyright.
I ask only that people do not choose to nit pick at my version of
Richard's story, remembering that it is my version, that it is exactly
as I have dreamed it, and that I am totally biased in his favour! :-)
I like to think of it as the anti dote to not only the Bard, but also
the likes of The White Queen nonsense!
Visit, invite your friends, and I hope like and enjoy.

It looks really good Paul. I have never seen a screenplay before, so it is fascinating for that as well as the excellent writing/management. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to nit-pick, and wish you every success with it, truly.

Paul, are you the one who was working on a book some years ago? I have never gotten that out of my head,and often find myself Googling silly things like, "Richard III movie..." and only coming up with various Shakespearian nonsense!

Thank you for sharing Paul...It's very, very good. I wish you all the success in the world...and hopefully one day your tenacity will pay off...Eileen

It looks very good, Paul. Am I allowed to nitpick that I think Lovell usually has two 'ells' and am not sure when in history Francis was shortened to Frank - that did sound a little "modern" - but I think it reads really well and I wish you all the best for attracting funding and interest. Well done for sticking at it, too.

Col

Excellent Paul. Very moving too. The scenario you posted was very credible, Cecily protecting Richard. Mary

I'm not Paul, of course, but in addition to his project, I can think of at least three more. Someone (sorry, I can't remember his name) wrote a pro-Richard play in Shakespearean English. Also, there's the ongoing collaboration between Phiippa Langley and Richard Armitage (who plays Thorin Oakenshield in the Hobbit movies). Apparently, that project is still in the early stages, but we may yet get to see Richard play Richard: http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/hobbit-actor-lines-up-role-as-richard-iii.20080483 There were also plans at one time to make Sharon Kay Penman's "The Sunne in Splendour" into a movie (complicated as that would be given that Penman's long book covers a span of twenty-six years, but I haven't heard any more about it lately.

Jan here.The Renaissance English play is by Robert Fripp. It's called Dark Sovereign & if you hunt online you should be able to find his website with quotes & extracts from said play. It looks very good but also a little demanding.

the rights were bought by someone an age ago, but nothing came of it
beyond that. As for 26 years being difficult, my script takes Richard
from birth to death, and my idea for the actor to play Richard will have
him play from 16 to 32. My choice could do it. Don't ask please, as I
won't tell.
Mr Armitage looks older than 32 already.
Sorry fans of RA, but be honest, he does. Great dwarf though :-)

RA is not anti-Richard. The opposite in fact. He is named after Richard because he shares his birthday, and he has long wanted to portrait our king. I think RA's father was a Richard fan. RA thinks he's probably too old and too big, but he'd love to do it. That's how I understand him. I've seen him being interviewed, and he does state his wish to be' Richard. From Wiki: He [RA] was hoping to star in a drama based on Richard III. Armitage was born on the anniversary of the Battle of Bosworth Field, where Richard III was killed. "I believe it is a great story, a socio-political thriller, a love story and a dynastic tragedy", he said.[36] He thinks the story has the potential to be told as a twenty-episode miniseries. A script has been in development since 2010 and "a lot of people... are interested [in producing it], but there is no one that will step on the gas."[37] Recently Armitage stated that he is still interested in the project, though he has reservations that he might be too tall and too old to play Richard III. And no, I'm not in the RA fan club, I just like the stuff he does. Sandra =^..^= From: Pamela Bain Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2014 5:07 PM To: mailto: Subject: Re: Richard the mini series

Oh no - he's very much pro Richard. He was born on 22 August and named after Richard III. He is very keen to play our sort of Richard.

Carol responds:

I know your feelings, Paul, and I'm sure you have someone in mind who's closer to Richard's age and height. Still, Armitage has a large fan base that would flock to the film to see *him* and Philippa's screenplay is bound to be favorable. I'd say the more plays and films about Richard from a favorable perspective, the better. No reason why you and Philippa need to compete. Why not cheer each other on?

I think Richard Armitage was born on August 22, the anniversary of the Battle of Bosworth rather than on October 2....

If he's too old for Richard then he's also really too old for Clarence. He'd be brilliant as Warwick though. Liz

It has been a fantasy of mine to see The Sunne In Splendour made into a film!! What a wonderful book! I was so emotionally drained after finishing, I was in a sort of fugue state for weeks!

I'm not Paul, of course, but in addition to his project,
I can think of at least three more. Someone (sorry, I
can't remember his name) wrote a pro-Richard play in
Shakespearean English. Also, there's the ongoing
collaboration between Phiippa Langley and Richard Armitage
(who plays Thorin Oakenshield in the Hobbit movies).
Apparently, that project is still in the early stages, but
we may yet get to see Richard play Richard: http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/hobbit-actor-lines-up-role-as-richard-iii.20080483
There were also plans at one time to make Sharon Kay
Penman's "The Sunne in Splendour" into a movie
(complicated as that would be given that Penman's long
book covers a span of twenty-six years, but I haven't
heard any more about it lately.

The Wiki piece is an exaggeration. Philippa's screenplay I am given to understand is not a proper screenplay yet, so is certainly not in development with lots of producers wanting to do it. And why it needs a twenty parter is beyond me. Mine is a six parter at most, probably four hour episodes plus a final one of 90 minutes.
I have been struggling for at least ten years to get any producer to even read my script! I am also concerned that Phillipa has been writing with RA in mind. You cannot write a historical movie with a particular actor in mind else the script becomes about him and not the character. And when you are a head over heels fan it is even more dangerous! That's why I waited until I finished mine before I began thinking of who could play what part.
As for cheering each other on, one cannot go into any meeting regarding finances demanding a certain actor play the lead, even were it Tom Cruise, and I have never thought RA suitable, so that rules out co-operation.
Also anyone wanting to dramatise Richard's story are now fighting the fall out from The White Queen. One huge producer asked me why I wanted to make a film about Richard when Ian McKellen had just made one!
Now the question is, why when the BBC have just done it?

Carol responds:

I know your feelings, Paul, and I'm sure you have someone in mind who's closer to Richard's age and height. Still, Armitage has a large fan base that would flock to the film to see *him* and Philippa's screenplay is bound to be favorable. I'd say the more plays and films about Richard from a favorable perspective, the better. No reason why you and Philippa need to compete. Why not cheer each other on?

I'll second that. That's always been the book that I've wanted to see
produced about Richard.

I couldn't possibly tell you on this forum, as most of my words would not be allowed! :-)

Paul, I love the script! It's just as I picture Richard. I really hope it gets made. I would give you the money myself, if I had it :) What about RA as the Duke of York? That way he could add his weight to the project. I know he may be young for the part, but I would think it's easier to make someone look older than younger.Vickie On Monday, March 31, 2014 12:38 PM, Paul Trevor Bale <paul.bale@...> wrote:

Thank you Vickie. I do not really want to go into RA again as I do not believe in casting also rans at present. But had I been working on The Hobbit Peter Jackson would have been badgered at every opportunity on behalf of the real Richard story, badgered until he at least introduced me to his money men! RA only ever speaks of how he'd like to play Richard, which is a non starter for me, and anyone who seriously wants to tell the story as it was! But then I have a real script ready to show people, something one would need when plaguing Jackson with the earnest desire to make a film of the story!
Am posting Barnet this weekend for those interested. Not Bosworth, which I have been told by people in the business is really very good! [Blow my own trumpet - one guy who has had 4 scripts made into movies said it the best battle script he had ever read! Written of course with blood and sweat and tears!]
I may also put up the fall of George of Clarence, but am not sure yet.
If you visit, I hope you enjoy my view of that misty day in 1471.
