Excerpt for a Potential Movie Script, thinking of Renee Zellweger for the part. What do you think?:
“I came into his story in the middle, you might say. When he, Rio, had just turned fifteen and I went to cover my first game, first time being a sports journalist. Already told you that. Anyway, it was fall in Long Island, perfect soccer weather. Huntington was playing Deer Field. I had my camera, my phone, my note pad and my Twitter account. I was good at tweeting. That’s one of the reasons I got the job, perky blond woman, 45 that could tweet. Ha! Don’t see that every day. Anyway, back to Rio. The game started. I almost forgot to do the journalist thing. He touched the ball, and the world was in order, his game was beautiful, he turned everything around him into a thing of beauty, pass, watch the field movements, adjust, move the ball back, patience, find the weakness and in the split of a second before you saw it, he had seen it, the opening, a deft pass and a score. I knew that I needed to find the beginning of the story, to find the start and to do that I had to take a drive from our little suburbia of Huntington to the edge of where the Big Apple begins driving west to Queens.” Character Role of Benni Duffy narrating how she discovered Rio
Amazing Read, highly recommended!
