Mystic River tells the story of three men whose dark, interwoven history forces them to come to terms with a brutal murder on the mean streets of Boston.

Looking forward to your Great Gatsby logline in Classics. Based on a reviews, I haven't seen the lates movie or read the script but this will motivate me to do both.

BTW: I hope to post a logline in Classics for "The Great Gatsby" for your consideration.

Were it an original spec script instead of an adaptation from a famous novel, I suspect the story would have a harder sale. As it is, it has been adapted 4 times so far (Broadway stage play, TV movie, 2 films)-- what's the hook that Hollyweird finds irresistible?

I've read Snyder and Truby, found their ideas helpful... up to a point. I have constructed my own beat sheet, a kludge of Snyder and other resources. My script also has a "C" story -- a schema I got from "Inside Story: The Power of the Transformational Arc" by Dara Marks.

I intend to post a logline when I finish the current draft, see what discoveries I make.
