Hello screenwriters!
As a writer, a big fears is, I've written something that's been done before. You work hard on a story, show it to a friend and inevitably the say. "It's just like..."
Or worse, you write a story and six months later a movie comes out with the same idea. One recent instance; I was watching the previews for Hotel Transylvania and realized I had written a similar short screenplay.
In my script, Dracula's angry because his son is sparkling and dating a human girl. In hotel Transylvania, Dracula is having trouble with his daughter who wants to date a human. Not completely the same, granted but enough to make me think "So Close!" if only I had been in right place and the right time.
Has this ever happened to you, a movie is released that is similar to a script you wrote or great idea you were developing? Just curious.
