    Hi,

    As we have grown and evolved over the last several years, we are making changes to our website and closing our open call for script and concept submissions. As of April 13, 2018, we are no longer accepting submissions. Submissions received will continue to be reviewed and evaluated by Amazon Studios and will be available on our website until June 30, 2018. Thank you all for your contributions.

    I think the whole affair was a flop. I wonder how many outsider screenplays they even developed? I was angry when I saw show after show they produced was penned by the usual Hollywood "royalty" -- Woody Alan, Ridley Scott, actors, actresses, all the same industry people -- I think it was all just a big show: "Look we're the outsider!" when all they ever wanted to be was the "insider."

    Good riddens to their phony baloney something-new/outsider status.

  4. Studios hate this idea - they won't even look at unsolicited scripts unless a known agent, producer or actor is pushing it. Mostly because they get sued if movie X borrows elements from a script they saw before.

    They thought it was a typo - "Bozos Taking Over The World!"
