Was it really a spec and go out? I had assumed it was Lesher finding money at QED.

I was under the impression QED paid the best price for it, implying others were able to bid on it as well. These million dollar scripts tend to turn up is all.

Now if only they will hire us too!

I love online poker, so I kind of dug it. Plus the ending was pretty cool and did surprise me. But agreed, parts of it felt like chunks of other movies, like WALL STREET and any undercover cop movie.

Koppelman has some serious juice as a writer. But all the writing juice in the world ain't gonna make Wall Street 5 pop and sizzle.

Tease

Haha agreed

Just wanted to know if anyone else hated it as much as I did. So superficial and shallow, no surprise Ratner is attached.

I read it. Good flick. A cautionary tale of greed, excess, and knowing who your friends are.

Which LAYOVER? The one by Zach Dean or the one about the kidnapping ring at the airport hotel?

Good question - I was assuming it was the Zach Dean one (which didn't do much for me as written in the original draft).

Zach Dean, didn't read the OG draft. Straightfoward action movie, decent gunplay. CBS Films material.

Get a rope!

regardless of the plot interpretation, it's still elegant writing.

Pretty solid list here: http://www.eventbrite.com/sxsw but these guys probably have the whole thing: SXSWPartyList@gmail.com

and here they are. It's $5 this year. But that's worth it if you ask me... http://www.sxshhh.com/

Thank you good sir.

It's total pop cultural trash. Would be better if she just spinned around like a go-go dancer in her disco outfit to top 40 tracks.

It would be nice if a screenplay about a female hero made her look less like an idiot and more like a hero.

You don't like the pop diva Wonder Woman? #gasp

Just shows how the sugar tit of Hollywood Features is over. Pilots are a great deal for a Director if they can land them, just amazed about Demme and Romanek more than Fuqua.

You get guys like John Dahl and Jon Avenet doing a ton of television even though they may have done features. Then there's guys like Danny Cannon who's whole career is based on Directing/Producing Pilots.

Don't go too crazy w/the Nazis BoyNo -- I'm watching u lol

But yeah, usually do 3mos of solid research, but remember - "never let the truth get in the way of a good story"

Would never let the truth get in the way. I absolutely adore doing research. I could do it forever actually like a character in Synecdoche, New York.

Kinda with u... But thoroughly enjoyable

Thought it did the little things right, but without something thematic to elevate the material you're looking at a Simon West directed action flick.

def needed more curveballs and higher stakes! But i liked the characters, thta's ALWAYS good

I thanked him for giving me new respect for Uwe Boll shortly after the Red State screening. He wasn't very nice about it.

I hate that fat man. Wish he'd just retire already. There is no way people pay $60 for a screening and a Q & A on his roadshow.
