The Sting

A small clip of the look I wish to give my film....possibly. I would have preferred to have the scene with Kid Twist going into the Bar and Detective Snyder walks in...the look of that scene would be perfect if I decide to do my film in a 1930's style.

I wanted my film to have the storyboarding of a comic book which is ironic as Robert Redford in an interview on the Sting DVD stated that directer George Roy Hill was fond of the Storytelling ability of Comic Strips.

My film won't be about Grifters but I felt the mise en scene and costumes of the period to be quite interesting and the arciture of the buildings, alleyways and the above ground train track provideing great diagonals to be visually exciting.

The question I've been milling on for the past few days is do I do an original story with a character (superhero? Bounty Hunter?) or take my previous script based in London, change the location and nationality of all the characters (except the standover man, who I could keep Cockney) and use that...
