I try and not discuss this sort of thing here, because EVERYONE ELSE DOES, but I need to know this before I start writing it.
I'm working on this script, and the first scene has a guy's fiance leaving him because she watches Chasing Amy for the first time and realizes that Affleck's "I love you" monologue is what he had said to her, word for word, even down to the "this will queer our relationship" line.
I wanted to start it on a blackout with Affleck talking and then go right into the footage from Chasing Amy.
How possible is this? If it's any consolation, I don't want to set out to make this movie or anything, but it's something I'd like to see if I could sell.
And no, it's not a movie about relationships.
