Comments on: The Remnants http://johnaugust.com/archives/2008/the-remnants A ton of useful information about screenwriting.

As someone else mentioned, <em>Dr. Horrible</em> had tremendous success on the web, and that was more in the style of a tv prduction. <em>The Remnants</em> however, seems tailor-made -- in its stylishly low-fi way -- for the web, and for those of us who love to share this stuff on social networks, and have conversations about it online.</p> <p>Oh and vampire yetis are cool. Way cooler than zombies. Zombies are totally lame.</p> This was fantastic, and I hope you get to put it into full production for the web.

Oh and vampire yetis are cool. Way cooler than zombies. Zombies are totally lame.

I'm happy to see Justine Bateman in something.... looking forward to more of this.</p> <p>And as a side note to the Variety article: "skein"? Do insiders really use that term? Just say "series," dude.</p> I didn’t even notice the camera work while watching — strange that people would have such different reactions.

And as a side note to the Variety article: “skein”? Do insiders really use that term? Just say “series,” dude.

I'd watch it regularly if it were on the web. I don't understand the reticence of the big media companies to do stuff like this on the web. If anything Dr Horrible has proved that it's totally viable. Do you have insight into why NBC/U wouldn't do such a thing? (I'll totally understand if you aren't allowed to talk about why they wouldn't since you are in the middle of getting it out there.)</p> John, awesome snippet.
