Pyramid and Work on Globe Trotting Action Film

This latest draft works a lot better than before.  I've gone through the whole thing again making improvements with the character and the writing.  The beginning has been edited down, but I wonder if it needs a little more tweaking.  I'll put it down for a while and get some opinions on it and take another look at it.

I started another draft of my Globe Trotting Action Film.  I've been focusing so far on the first 10 pages, which is very important in a screenplay.  Most readers surmise how good the script will be based on the first 10 pages.  The fist scene takes place years ago, so the main protagonist wasn't introduced until later.  I added him in for a revised opening.  I decided I needed him to be included more so I revised the opening again.  It's a much stronger piece and I added some moments that tie into his weakness later on.

It's rough going doing a rewrite, but it's fun to see the script reading much better.
