C.J. Walworth is aka Cumberlain Rattlesnake [the name of his production company.]
His spec screenplay works include:
- GAT FINGER, which is a superhero western-revisionist neo-noir, where a young man, son of a rancher, is grievously mutilated by a band of bandits in the 1880’s Nevada. He is saved by his uncle and crawls to safety in Virginia City, where he is put back together by his Father’s Sergeant from his Civil War days. The kindly blacksmith Ben and Becky, a local burn-scarred young woman, begin to put Jacob back together. Later, Jacob becomes the superhero Gat Finger, when he begins his quest to bring justice to the bandits that took his eye and killed his family.
- ORTEGA HIGHWAY which is an action/adventure neo-noir Indian-casino heist set in southern California. The protagonist, Rick Mallik works for his overbearing step-father, W.L. Norton, who operates a detective service specifically designed to deal with troubles on tribal lands. Mallik has been outta-sorts for two years, since his lady left him for a biker chieftain. Cultures clash as Mallik finds the truth of what really happened and all hell breaks loose as various parties jockey to take control of the rudderless tribe, which spins off about a billion dollar a year.
- A SOLDIER AND A CLOWN is a YA action/adventure story about two modern boys who get caught goofing-off in school, and are sent off to the Civil War battlefield national parks to re-write a school report which gates their entry into high school. The two boys begin an epic journey where they accidently set up a scenario where the 1863 Rebels might actually be able to win the Civil War from 2023. All sorts of shift happens as the two modern teenage boys try to un-do what they done. All the time, they are pursued by the psychopathic Rebel Justus who tries to kill and/or enslave them. Story exposes the evils of 1860’s thinking and juxtaposes this with modern mores and values in over-the-top comedic ways. Story incorporates writer’s family lore.
