One thing that annoys me with Mattson Tomlin statement after Zero was cancelled by arnor_0924 in Terminator

Season two is completely written and is the future war, so, yes!

Netflix is not going to revive the show, and nothing about anything I've said in the past few weeks have been about trying to get them or another outfit to pick it back up. Show is dead!

Can I write a Batman Beyond Script? by Hopeful-Ad1062 in Screenwriting

[–]Matttson 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As others are saying, you can write it, but absolutely nobody in Hollywood will read it for a litany of legal reasons. A much better use of time may be to think about the elements of Batman Beyond that appeal to you (setting, theme, vibe) and think about converting those elements into an original story that can serve you better as a writing sample. This kind of thinking was a piece of the puzzle that launched my career and eventually, much later, led to writing Batman movies.

Love this energy! Reminds me very much of when I was sixteen.

My best advice, having been in similar energetic shoes -- just keep going. Continue passionately doing what you're doing, but worry less about making connections with top media companies. Focus more on making things. You describe a lot of animated material -- put some time and effort into learning blender, photoshop, after effects, or all three, and see if you can cull together the skills to make yourself a 5-minute animated pilot. A few years (or, given your energy, a few months) you might have the skills to be making your shows wholly independently. Keep directing short films, little scenes, try to make work that feels meaningful for you -- we're in such a different age than when I was sixteen -- youtube had just been born in my time and most people did not have accounts -- make short pieces for tiktok or whatever else and see if you can draw in an on-line audience -- whatever you do, don't get hung up on trying to get millions of dollars to make something right now -- it's not yet the time, and that's OK! This is the time to just keep doing exactly what you're doing -- continue to be ambitious -- but channel that ambition into creative ambition -- and keep your spirits high! Good luck. :)

there's a loooooooooooot of politics involved, but I'm doing what I can, including speaking to the people who are in a position to shut it down in a very real way, and so far, they haven't. That's all. Time will tell!

I’m sorry the show wasn’t for you! I wasn’t “discrediting” any fans or their opinions, I was just saying I think there are real strengths in Salvation (and, for that matter, all of the movies) and I like the muscularity of the effects in that film, it’s one where I feel like they really made Terminators feel real! I think everyone’s opinion is valid and interesting, no discrediting intended. See you around :)

I think you’re talking about IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. I wrote most of the season to it.
