Marlboroprojects wrote:In my other thread about not having any guns you provided some good insight from that script you bought. I have a couple of questions that I would really appreciate if you could answer.

1. You stated that the Warriors are now from the battery, not Coney. Is the meeting they attend still in the Bronx, cause thats a much closer distance to the Battery than C.I. ?

2. What, off the top of your head, if any has carried over from the original in terms of Gang Names, Characters, ect. ?

3. Does the story still take place primarily over the course of 1 night ?

4. I know you already explained about the ban on guns, but is the fighting completely hand to hand, or do the gangs use weapons such as bats, chains, ect. like in the original ?

5. Does the subway play a major role like in the first one, or are they on foot or stealing cars now ?

Thanks in advance for whatever info you can provide. I don't mean to be a pain in the ass, but your just about the only person who has any "official" info on what direction this film is headed, although I know you just have a first draft and that could be completely changed by now. :)
Here i go.!

1. Meeting is still in the Bronx.

2. The only gang i can see are The Orphans. Think thay are a bit Tougher in this one.

3. Yes one night.

4. Nunchucks, Throwing stars are used :roll:

5. Some use of the subway but, not as frequent :cry:

Remember this is a script that cast me $10 on ebay so whoever wrote it wasn't trying to scam anyone to make money as it has over 100 pages so would be a lot of time for a couple of sad people like me to buy it :lol: It was sold to me as a copy from a person who deals in only scripts.

It sounds o.k when reading it but, take what i've put down with a pinch of salt!

Hey Fox, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Was there any information from the person you bought it from on what the state of the script was? For example:

Was it a treatment?

Was it an early version of the final draft?

Was it just a script that was submitted when MTV sent out the word they would be doing a remake?

I ask because when a bunch of writers start submitting treatments for a script, the guy who sold it to you might have gotten one of the rejected versions.

Ok, Thanks!!! :)

I wonder if the writers/producers of the new movie were pressured into moving the Warriors out of Coney Island, due to the new sqeaky-clean family image CI is trying to put forth.

Just like you'll never see any crime/violence in films taking place in Times Square any more. :cry:

Beats me. I'm sure there are still parts of the city like East New York & Bushwick where you would still see open drug dealing & prostitution, but in the "tourist areas" like Times Square & Coney Island forget it.

Any hooker you see walking around those areas now is 99.9 % an undercover cop.

Call me crazy, but I kinda miss the way Times Square was. It had a certain energy about it that made it New York. :(

I'm staying in Times square in a few weeks.

I decided to stay in that area beacuse it's a lot less dodgy and i want to feel pretty safe while wondering around.

However I thought it looked cool in some of the 70's/80's films with all the bright lights and trash going on.

Thanks for the offer Marl. I'm over with the GF so, i'm doing things as we pass as i've got so much to do. I am however coming over in Dec time with a coupl of friends for a sports tour (Giants/Knicks/Islanders with a bit of hope) so, doing a Warriors tour would be cool then Including the Eastern Parkway station. I'm also onto the Cemetery and the Orphans loaction so, as your in Brooklyn you will probably know the areas since most of the first half of the film is set in that area! I can slide off by myself when i'm over with my friends and don't have to worry about boring my girlfriend.

No worries about the Warriors photo SHM its near the top of my list! I need to get me one of those stickers you just got aswell!
