      Looks innocent, IMHO, and let's not act like one writer signing with CAA means we've seen the ascension of John Logan here, people. ;-)

      If you believe Franklin's explanation of the guy's "intern duties," and there's not really a reason not to, he just did a few hours of remote work, which is nothing. Any contest with even a hint of professionalism takes the writer's name off the cover page, so I highly highly doubt the readers would have known this guy was a "buddy" of the Black List. Looks innocent, IMHO, and let's not act like one writer signing with CAA means we've seen the ascension...

  10. My short script that was one of the winning pieces for the 50 Kisses Competition has been made into a pretty cool film: http://www.50kissesfilm.com/movies/love-by-grindstone-films/ Yes - I'm probably a tad biased - but fun to see my words on the page turned into something visual

  11. Congrats to Dan Dollar! Great news on the script - worth the attention.

      What's the status of your script, Dan? Has the T-B exposure helped get it out there?

  13. New Disney-owned Star Wars trilogy starting 2015 -- Not a big SW fan, but it'd be cool if they went 'Mission Impossible' on the franchise and let a different director tackle each installment.

  14. so who wants to write episode 7?

      Not me. I don't really care, but I like the idea of another filmmaker putting his mark on the universe. JJ Abrams? Joss Whedon? Lindelof?

      In the TED script, it keeps listing "existing footage." Did they shoot bits with the bear before they started principal photography? E.g.,

       

      EXT. A MOVIE THEATER - NIGHT (EXISTING FOOTAGE)

      (Insert existing “Phantom Menace” bit)

      INT. CHUCK E. CHEESE - DAY (EXISTING FOOTAGE)

      (Insert existing Chuck E. Cheese bit)

  18. Hypothetical: If you just completed a high concept, rated R comedy, would you take it out wide now or wait until January?

  19. Top 3 scripts you've read this year. Doesn't have to be written this year. Go.

  20. I know there's a glut of President in danger scripts but I'd really like for someone to write one where the debate stand-ins save the day. http://tiny.cc/qj6llw

  21. Does anyone know if more Black List scripts come out later in the year, rather than earlier? A la most Oscar nominees.

  22. I gotta say, the cinematography in the last episode of Breaking Bad was BEYOND amazing. Seriously. A camera guy can learn a lot from this show.
