screenwriting

Wow, has my down time from writing been filling my head with all sorts of thoughts that beg to be written down! And, this latest thought process is something I just mentioned to Sassy and Pussy Willow in a comment. That being how my brother has been "on me" to be honest about my opinions.

So, Halloween is nearing around the corner. I've been contemplating in making another short movie but I just cannot come up with anything or anything that is simple for me to film.

I saw a recap episode of Oprah talking about women and their anti-aging secrets. Nora Ephron was there. I’ve known Nora Ephron only through her works, which are my favorites: Sleelpless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail and Michael.

SUPERMAN had been in development since 1973 and had a series of false starts until being greenlit in 1976. Mario Puzo was brought as writer. The problem with event movies was they had to be big and sweeping. The screenplays were generally overwritten. I believe this combo treatment/script for SUPERMAN II was written by Puzo.

Terrence Howard is picking up speed in the mad Hollywood shuffle. His role in the hit movie 'Crash', was perhaps an insight into some exciting things to come from this talented actor. Not all movies leave you in such a sense of profound thought and wonder; however, this one did. It clearly examines some of the racial issues that still plague this country. Yet, in each characters journey, there seems to be a reckoning with the dark forces that plague all of us.
