Here's the deal.... a really good friend of mine was commissioned to write it... she got screwed by the writer's strike... she still holds "story by" credit but not "written by" credit even tho most of her script was untouched... the stuff they changed... the stuff she was proud of... she made it more informative and stayed true to factual info about killer whales  and her's wasn't set in a theme park 

What's the deal with Willy that he always gets stuck somewhere? ???

Man,How many times do they have to Free Willy?  ::)

Which is why, Free Willy 4, will go down in history, as one of the most pointless sequels, of all time!

;D

I imagine we can all look forward to Free Willy 5, in glorious 3-D.

;D ;D

It should be in 3 B, 3 beers, and it looks good!

;D

I forgot to add that's it's a direct to DVD release.

And say what you will but I'm proud of my friend getting a paying gig on Hollywood. Just wish she hadn't gotten screwed by the writers strike.

Back on point - Q, I am sorry her script got railroaded! Ultimately, people are going to see the lack of information needed or the trueness of the information given.
Wish I could say I am going to see it - but I haven't enjoyed a Willy since 1 and 2 - but I might just check it out because of your friend.
Does she still get royalties for it?

Like Tam said, I, too am sorry your friend got screwed. Maybe having this on her resumé, she will get another gig that they will give her FULL credit.

So, when is Willy, actually going to be, you know, really free?

;D

forgot to say thanx Tam  :)

and thanks cat!!!

Yeah she's doing well. Sold something a couple years ago that's still in development. Had a pilot in circulation before the strike and worked on something at Disney so I know she'll rebound nicely.

I am so glad that people read the initial post! ::)
The thread isn't to mock the franchise for crying out loud! READ PEOPLE!!!

Gah!
Perhaps it is just me and the fact that I have been frustrated for almost a month - but seriously - read before you post. It isn't a hard concept!

it's all good tam. Your support is appreciated. Truth is. Even if my friend hadn't written it. The only thing I would mock about It is the casting of bindi irwin cuz I'm a fan of the franchise but bindi really annoys me.

Sorry about that, it's just I'm still amazed that the second and third films, center around the same plot, about freeing the same whale, over and over again.

Sorry, to hear that your friend, didn't get credited for her work, hopefully things turn ok for her, in the future.

so does scream but your wxcited about the fourth installment of that  :P

OK, you can pass this plotline on to your writer friend so she can get started on Free Willy 5.

Willy is wrongly accused of accidentally killing his trainer at an aquatic wildlife park, and as punishment, he is sentenced to live out his remaining years in a small, dilapidated old tank where they feed him frozen fish.  Being isolated from people and other whales, as well as the trainer who he actually liked, Willy becomes lethargic and ill.

A Hollywood film director learns of Willy's plight and decides to free him (for the 5th time), and makes him the centerpiece of his new 3-D movie that he's always wanted to make about whales in the wild.  (Thus, the first half of the movie is in 2-D, and then it becomes 3-D, kinda like how the Wizard of Oz switched to color midstream).

While filming the 3-D production, the Hollywood director uncovers evidence that Willy could not have been responsible for the trainer's death, which instead is attributed to the mean and ruthless owner of that old aquatic park.  The owner learns of this and enters Willy's new digs to try and hide the evidence.  Willy jumps out of the tank (remember this is 3-D), grabs the mean guy, and holds him at bay until the authorities arrive.

This story line would be pure gold.  8)

It kind of reminds me of Alex on Walker Texas Ranger. How many times has she been kidnapped? Almost every episode it seems.
