Derek Haas is one of Hollywood’s prominent screenwriters, with partner scribe Michael Brandt they’ve brought us 3:10 to Yuma remake and last year’s Wanted. He’s also heavily involved in the story process for The A-Team movie and Beverly Hills Cop IV.

He’s got this website called popcornfiction.com which is basically a place where new popular short fiction could flourish, and Hollywood could have a new resource for cultivating great ideas.
