Kelly Marcel is in desperate need of a holiday. The 37-year-old screenwriter hasn't had two days off in a row in two years, has "permanent" jet-lag from hopping between London and LA and has had to postpone her wedding three times. But the absence of any work-life balance has its rewards: after years of penning scripts that would get trapped in a celluloid limbo, she has been catapulted into the Hollywood elite. For Marcel is the creative mind behind Terra Nova, a Steven Spielberg project that has become the most expensive television series of all time.
"It's mad, absolutely bloody mad," Marcel says with a broad smile. "It's that weird, overnight Hollywood thing that you sometimes hear about happening to people. I had no idea that this would happen."
