Lucky Bastard!

No, not me. My friend Karl, one of the funniest men I know -- and I'm not just talking about his face -- just sold a spec script to Hollywood!
From yesterday's Variety:
Shoreline Entertainment has acquired Karl Williams' spec script "Punctured," which won the comedy and sci-fi awards at the 2005 Austin Film Festival.Congrats you
Shoreline plans to take the project into production in spring, with Shari Hamrick producing and directing. Steve Chicorel will exec produce and Williams will co-produce.Story centers on a horror novelist who's unable to move on emotionally after the loss of his wife until he meets a beautiful college professor. He overcomes his fears with the help of the original Dracula, a werewolf and a supernatural detective.
Williams won the awards at the Austin fest while attending UCLA's graduate screenwriting program. He has also won UCLA's Screenwriters Showcase Award and its Jack Nicholson Prize.
"Punctured" is an "homage to the films of Woody Allen, if the films of Woody Allen included vampires, werewolves, ghosts and some gore," he said.
I long can't wait to see you arrested on Santa Monica Blvd with a cheap ho, a paper bag full of pudding and a box of Wet Puppy Scratch-n-Sniff stickers at the Slumdance Sundance premiere of your film!
