 Not exactly technology related but still this is an opportunity that some may jump at the chance to do. As Sony is yet again expanding access to the world of John Malkovich through its portal www.vaio-john.com with an on-line script challenge judged by the award winning actor and producer. Fans and aspiring writers can now write the next chapter of a script started by John on the site.
Since its launch in October www.vaio-john.com has attracted curious visitors keen to find out more about John’s world and those things which influence him. It contains a series of short films which capture John as he describes these influences, memories, likes and musings with often unusual sources of inspiration. Through the site Sony aims to inspire others to consider how they seek and capture creative thoughts.
The on-line script writing challenge will allow others to be inspired by John’s initial chapter and decide for themselves how the story should unfold. Having submitted their chapter to the www.vaio-john.com website, both John and visitors to the site can vote for their favourite entry before it is linked to the master script.
Over a period of 4 months one scene will be selected each month from entries all over Europe ( Script submission is accepted in five different languages: English, French, German, Spanish and Italian). VAIO with John hope to create a seamless story-line, albeit one we will not know the final conclusion to until the last chapter is added.
The project is something John is excited by; “Conventional wisdom says you can’t do science fiction with say...period drama. Or maybe you can?”
The final story will be published on www.vaio-john.com in March 2008.
