The One-Page Screenplay: John Hlavin's Revelations
After a short hiatus, we’re extremely pleased to announce the return of Movieline’s One-Page Screenplay. Did you miss it? Of course you did. In today’s auteur-centric cinematic environment — where films regularly run into a third, completely unnecessary hour — isn’t it something of a relief to find a lean, satisfying story you can enjoy in under a minute, leaving you a bonus of 149 to use as you see fit? Say, getting drunk?
Today’s One-Pager comes from John Hlavin, a veteran on FX’s The Shield who recently sold his first feature script to Warner Bros: The Gunslinger, a revenge-driven action picture about an ex-Texas Ranger hunting for the men who killed his brother. Today, John tries his hand at something a little lighter, with a Rapturous romcom called Revelations.
The Official Bio:
John Hlavin has worked in television for five years, most notably on THE SHIELD. He recently sold his first feature, THE GUNSLINGER to Warner Bros.
