”TOMBSTONE II”
“There's two sides
to every story. The world deserves to see the other side of this one.”
"Tombstone II" is registered with the Writers Guild Of America.
Writing “Tombstone II” is a life long
dream come true. I am very
passionate about my first spec screenplay
because it’s the untold story of my family, the Clantons. For many years
Hollywood movies have made the Clantons, especially Ike Clanton, out to
be Wyatt Earps fall guy, nothing more than a drunken scumbag cow thief
that hasn’t had a bath in three months, however reality is much different.
Justice is now coming alright, its called “Tombstone II”
I could have named this screenplay
lots of things, but “Tombstone II” is very fitting. Theirs two sides to
every story, the world deserves to see
the other side of this one.
My motivation to get this screenplay done has never stopped. I started with an historically correct 100 page chronological outline that was to become my first book titled “Wyatt Earps Worst Nightmare, The Memoirs of Ike Clanton”. Once I completed this outline, I wanted more. First I want to bring my story to the silver screen, then release Ike’s memoirs as a book. Everyone must dream, and my dreams are alive and well.
I know this story so well, the characters
began coming to life for me. At
one stage I was working twelve to
eighteen hour days because I was so
involved in the script I couldn’t
stop. The phone would ring and it would
literally scare the hell out of me!
People in Hollywood say, "write what
you like and know about" so I did just that. After approximately four months,
I finished the first draft of the
screenplay.
As I continue to polished my screenplay with re-writes, I'm interested in talking with investors, executive producers and studios executives.
The TombstoneArizona.com web site generates thousands of hits a day, so the fan base for this movie is already established and in forward gear.
Special Thanks goes out to everyone
that has sent me email letters of
encouragement, including Kurt Russell.
Your comments certainly helped keep my motivation alive while I sat for
hours in front of the computer.
Keeping my dreams alive, Terry Ike Clanton
