After the commercial success of Bangkok Adrenaline, Conan Stevens wrote a short script for a new action film. The upcoming film has the working title “Madness”. The script is quite standard, but with some interesting plot twists. It's about a former mercenary whose family is killed, he goes on a rampage, he gets beaten almost to death, then he kills the bad guy, etc. In addition, there are several funny moments and an unusual ending to make the film memorable to the audience.
To begin with, I want to say that film scripts are mostly not written for the audience. They are written so that investors can make money. Making films is not an art, it is a business.
Thus, what matters most is whether the film can be sold to regional distributors, how quickly it can be sold, and whether it can be sold for more than the cost of production.
In this case, the film must be shot on a very small budget without sacrificing quality. The plot and format should fit a standard template well known in the action genre. In this case, the film will be easier to recognize and price for regional buyers. This will ensure a quick sale to the investor/producer, which means a transition to low prices for filming in Asia, meaning a quick and profitable return on investment.
So for this script, I've mostly stuck to the standard 80's action movie formula that will intrigue audiences with the gory style of 300 and hopefully gain a reputation for quality acting and plot twists.
The script can be read on the Conan Stevens website: conanstevens.com.

I am waiting. I hope there will be something exciting.
I would like to mention Pasha as a person who has been an active participant in this project since…
Sad ending, albeit with a joke...
Added a video from the filming of "Twilight of the Warriors".
