Tales From The Script

BulletProofPoet — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 02:31:16 +0000

Not to be confused with the 3-part horror by the same name, this is a documentary by Peter Hanson and Paul Robert Herman featuring some of Hollywood’s biggest names in screenwriting, including Shane Black, John Carpenter, Frank Darabont, William Goldman, Paul Schrader, and dozens of others.

It paints the very real picture of life as a screenwriter. From success to failure, to being shit on to useful tips for aspiring writers.

With quips such as, “Your job (as a screenwriter) is to get punched in the face” and screenwriters are “Egomaniacs with low self-esteem” you start to get the idea that the job of a screenwriter, despite the images we might conjure up, is not as glamorous as one might think.

In addition to the documentary, a companion book will also be available for purchase. Check them out below.

UPDATE: 8.16.2010 – To my knowledge, this project has been cancled.

The low budget horror penned by David N. Wilson was born on Twitter and picked up by Ambergris Films. Below is a snippet from the producer’s website:

“In February of 2009, a group of users on the social network Twitter had an almost joking conversation about a movie based on a bio-fuel and a killing spree. The project was dubbed “KILLER GREEN” and author David Niall Wilson started typing a script. Since the idea was born on Twitter, Wilson typed the script in scenes and promoted each scene with his account. Each scene was published on his website under a Creative Commons license and broadcast to the Twitter Community.”
