Exposed: Shocking Screenwriting Scam Uncovered by Former Academy Awards Director

Unbeknownst to me, he was contacted by a man to whom he now refers to as his “publishing agent,” and potential entryway into the movie industry, “John Bent.” As of this writing, it is unclear whether Mr. Bent is directly involved, but he DOES market himself as a “film rights advocate.”
Bent then introduced my friend to someone calling himself Julien Noble.
Here’s the problem: Julien Noble is the actual Vice President of International Marketing at Universal Pictures. He does not handle screenplay acquisitions. He does not negotiate adaptation deals, and he certainly does not cold-call aspiring screenwriters.
