Chris AdamsonOn the latest #Scriptnotes podcast, John August reported being invited to (and declining) a “bake-off” to write a pilot for a TV series described as being based on a globally-known series of books that were previously adapted as films, and looking for a 10-year commitment. So what could it be? Wife and I could think of:
• Harry Potter (doesn’t it already have showrunner?)
• Hunger Games (they offhandedly said it wasn’t)
• Chronicles of Narnia
• Twilight
• Maze Runner
• Divergent
• Wizard of Oz
Martin MalcolmMeet Milo, my script consultant.
I read him the day’s script notes & he gives his instant reaction, in return for hazelnuts, or today, a raspberry.
He's a very attentive listener.
Hall Monitor“Craig hosts a solo episode presenting his general theory on screenwriting. He covers the central dramatic argument, the ‘why’ behind plot points, and of course, umbrage on common script diagrams.” #screenwriting #scriptnotes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scriptnotes-podcast/id462495496?i=1000623066718
Mark BoszkoOh noooo. I went to look up the “Rollo Temasi” quote from L.A. Confidential because of #Scriptnotes podcast, but the top 100 results are about some “manosphere” jackass who adopted the name, and now my search results are probably poisoned forever
