@Benny there definitely is something to what @mtm was saying. I think I'm wearing out my welcome with too much story this, writing that, but, some of the first things I was taught was:action is character, and the word movie is from the words "moving…

I am no fan of Amazon, or many of these studios, but I think their people likely did financial forecasts for Roadhouse and saw they'd lose money distributing to cinema. Linman knows this too. But he's a notoriously strange man, and is known fo…

Callum has definitely grown into his looks. Put him in the gym, and he has a nice frame to build long lean muscles. He is a good actor with presence, and a voice. I'm certainly not sold on him as James Bond. But I think he has the talent wo…

I just stumbled across The Ultimate James Bond Medley - Every song from the 25 movies including No Time To Die. If I had the ear of EoN, I’d tell them to go into a dark room, sit in comfy chairs, close their eyes, and just listen to this… Listen …

@Colonel_Venus in the case of Tarantino and Nolan, they’re auteurs. They’re writing for themselves to direct. They are outliers. Not many are given this leeway. They are the 1% . 99% of the films you watch have been done precisely as described…

And NTTD from what I heard, was an actual page one rewrite based off of a P and W concept. However, I have conflicting reports on how far P and W went. Some people told me they wrote a draft (as in a single draft), and others said it was a few outli…

No, not really. Big tentpole films have been using a team of writers for decades and decades. It doesn't mean the script is in trouble, at all. When a studio purchases a script, they purchase it because it is a high scoring screenplay (studios ha…

@007HallY pretty much nailed it. And it does take an army to make a film. That includes writers who may excel at dialogue and character, or a Scott Burns who not only is a screenwriter in his own right, but is a doctor that gets hired to punch up th…

@jetsetwilly , almost 100 percent of big tentpole or Hollywood films have multiple credited writers and about half a dozen uncredited writers aka script doctors. It's not that there's outside interference on any of these movies. It's just the way th…
