Wrote a script centering around a guy who makes a Faustian bargain with a creature he finds in a storage container, managed to make a little teaser for it:

How much does concept art help in pitching an idea?
-
Citizenfour is incredible and should be seen by everyone
-
Anybody have the SPECTRE script?

This guy does:

Copyright question for you guys. I was thinking of (loosely) basing a script on one of Isaac Asimov's short stories which is, of course, copyrighted. Anyway I can use it? I'm not planning on stelling or anything, probably just put it on YouTube.

I'm a huge Fincher fan, but Gone Girl didn't blow me away. Performances were good, especially Pike and Perry. I'm not sure if it was the photography but it came off a little dull.

Steven Soderbergh gave a speech last year about the state of cinema. Found it really insightful. https://vimeo.com/65060864

Because the script was unique, very well written and has a chance to be an awesome movie.
If it's too long to read, here:

Leftovers was alright but Justin Theroux was great. Why is this guy not working more?

So The Rover's budget was ~$12 million and it made $69K opening weekend. Probably won't make more than $100K in its total theatrical run. Is there any hope for it to recover its budget? How much money can this movie potentially make on VOD/rental? Could it ever make up for its budget or is it just a dud for the studio?

VOD releasing is still very new, and somehow hard to track. I think it's more of "behind closed doors" than anything, seeing as how tracking the numbers of rentals and purchases should be incredibly easy. Releasing on VOD for a low budget (maybe 5-8 million and under) can be quite successful, but the other issue becomes piracy because as soon as a film drops on VOD, someone out there has already pirated a 1080 copy of the film for free. It's a bummer to see because most VOD o...

Edge of Tomorrow is really great, original sci-fi. Highly recommend!

Would it be possible to create a spoiler friendly sub-forum to chat about movies after their release?

Wow, have you seen the extended cut of 'That Thing You Do!'? The editor made Hanks look brilliant with that theatrical cut. The extended cut feels almost like a completely different movie. The pace is way off and it's no where near as fun.

If this is true it's pretty damn shitty http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Did-Massive-Ant-Man-Rewrites-Force-Edgar-Wright-Off-Marvel-Movie-43160.html

I find it incredibly hard to believe that Marvel would take a script from two proven writers with produced credits and hand it off to two no names. That said, Whedon and Simon Pegg's tweets suggest that 1.) Wright walked away 2.) Marvel was pushy on something and being difficult. So it's not outside the realm of possibility.

Is there an early draft of A.I. by Stanley Kubrick floating around anywhere? I'd ask in ISO but Kubrick isn't even listed as a writer for it on IMDb.

What do you guys think of the Interstellar trailer? I love the little details like the not-so-pristine hypersleep chambers and the gravitational lensing around the wormhole. Also interesting seeing the small changes Nolan made to his brother's script like Murph being a girl instead of a boy.

In terms of story structure and narrative, In Bruges might be close to perfect.

What are some good examples of a movie/screenplay where a character is an expert at something but had to give it up only to get dragged back to do it once again against his/her will?
-
What are some other movies like Locke and Buried where the character is essentially in one location for the entire film?
-
While it's certainly not for everybody, I found myself absolutely blown away by Blue is the Warmest Color. The storytelling and dialogue felt raw and unfiltered and the actresses were both great. Highly recommend.

Watched it last night. That main sex scene is definitely one for the record books. Yes, both actresses did great work - the younger one such a raw nerve it will be interesting to see if she has a career. As for the movie, great emotional honesty and powerful, but all those naturalistic scenes begin to wear you down after a while. Maybe could have lost a half hour and been even better. But god bless the French for still making movies like this.

What are some good examples of movies/screenplays with two or three separate storylines that don't necessarily intersect?
-
Wow, Snowpiercer really blew me away. One of the best sci-fi movies I've seen in years.
