I was going to tell you about this amazing annual Writers Guild Foundation event, Beyond Words, taking place in two weeks. But it sold out today in an hour.

That’s probably because the panel, comprised of 2010 Oscar- and WGA Award-nominated screenwriters, is scheduled to include Scott Cooper (”Crazy Heart”), James Cameron (”Avatar”), Mark Boal (”The Hurt Locker”), Alex Kurtzman (”Star Trek”), Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner (”Up in the Air”), Geoffrey Fletcher (”Precious”), Scott Neustadter (”(500) Days of Summer”) and Jon Lucas & Scott Moore (”The Hangover”). Additionally, the WGA got little-known screenwriter Judd Apatow (”Funny People”) to moderate again this year.

The event is at the Writers Guild Theater on Doheny February 18, but good luck getting in. The WGA says it may do a wait list at the door on the night of the event, but not to hold your breath. The guild does typically put the event on a DVD, so you can look for that instead.

The next WGF event features writer-director-producer Barry Levinson, Feb. 22 at the Writers Guild Theater. Looks like you can still get into that one. Levinson, whose writing credits include “Silent Movie,” “High Anxiety,” “…And Justice for All,” “Diner,” “Avalon,” “Sleepers” and “Liberty Heights,” is receiving the WGA’s Screen Laurel Award this year. He also won an Oscar for directing “Rain Man.”
