The author of the story "Primetime," Douglas
Texter, has received great interest in his story, specifically
to get it developed into a film script for a TV pilot.
A screenwriter who has written scripts for various TV
shows (Roy C. Booth) has been commissioned to adapt
"Primetime" for the screen.
"Primetime"
which is published in Writers of the Future Vol.
XXIII is a gripping story that takes reality TV
to a whole new dimension—through time travel.
You climb into the trenches of the First World War and
battle death with the soldiers through the lens of the
camera, held by the time travelling journalist who is
reporting history as it unfolds before him. There is
only one catch; if the reporter doesn't pull out in
time, he gets "terminated" by the show producer
according to Network policy. "Primetime" becomes
the time-trap you can't escape.
We'll be looking
forward to seeing Douglas Texter's story on TV!
But until then you
can read it in Writers of the Future Vol. XXIII.
