#WritersLog 03.01.2022. Today I wrote something bad. It was bad. But I wrote it. Over the next few days I will probably write more bad stuff. Next week I'll try to make it good. #screenwriting #WritingCommnunity
Times are hard for so many writers & other folks in Hollywood. I know plenty of folks who by all rights should be working, who are living off savings or taking on survival jobs. Two things on this:
🎉 I figured out how to save tv, everybody! 🎉 - Less than 6 months between seasons - 18+ episodes every season. If exceptions are made for less episodes, the next season has to come out quicker - Send writers to set - Promote the show - The people making tv should like tv
I have MANY thoughts on this whole moronic concept, and fandom culture overall (several of which I’ve gone on about ad nauseam), so I’ll just say this: It's high time that we reminded audiences that they are, indeed, the fucking audience. They don’t get a say.
Studios are assembling superfan focus groups to assess various materials for a franchise project to avoid social media backlash. “They will just tell us, ‘If you do that, fans are going to retaliate’ … If it’s early enough & the movie isn’t finished yet, we can make those kinds…
The Star Wars fandom is a better, happier place for having @StarWarsExplain I cannot say the same for many YouTube channels but I will for this one.
Some thoughts regarding the #Ahsoka S2 wait: Like every other fan, I’m extremely frustrated with the way streaming has negatively impacted the things I love. It’s proven to be an unsustainable model, with absurd wait times, frustrating expectations, and almost zero guarantees. 🧵
Anyone who’s read my feature script Vegan Vampires will understand that this is exactly why I wrote it- and why it had to be based in Brighton.
I've no idea if it's true, but the word here in Brighton is that the fascists will be met off the trains by drag queens and a samba band. You don't have to be an idiot to bring white supremacy to the most welcoming and inclusive city in the country, but it sure helps 😜 🏳️🌈 🎉
(dusts off Lower Decks spec script)
“Star Trek” is preparing to beam up some laughter. Actor-writer Tawny Newsome and writer-director Justin Simien are developing a new live-action comedy set in the world of the storied sci-fi franchise. variety.com/2024/tv/news/s…
A problem with fandom is every fan thinks they could do a better job than the people making the show but that's because they think making a show is just coming up with ideas, and not managing a huge team of people, responding to network notes, dealing with budgets, etc.
It's here! #TheAcolyte fans, gather 'round and enjoy my nearly hour-long interview (5,000 words!) with Leslye Headland. We unpack last night's episode, dish on #Oshamir, address your unanswered questions, and feed the rats! 🦋🐀 collider.com/the-acolyte-ep…
wonder if the reason i'm so much more tolerant of retcons and apparent contradictions than the whiners is because i grew up on legends and that was basically required
*sigh* I just hope everyone understands that it isn’t about fire in space. It isn’t about witchcraft. It isn’t about an alien’s age. In the same way it was never about a woman’s training level. In the same way it’s never been about what characters of color “add to the story.” 🧵
This is absolute genius. One for all the gullible, Farage shagging, Reform simpletons. @wsebag
Almost as if they're the ones with the 'agenda', isn't it?
Just a reminder that it is part of their playbook to take old out of context interviews from prior talents works and raise attention with a “LOOK WHAT THIS STAR WARS ACTOR/DIRECTOR SAID ABOUT XYZ” as if its current. They did it with Sharmeen after all.
Just finished watching #TheAcolyte and I'm puzzled. I was assured that all the characters would be declaring their pronouns and sexual orientations while giving lectures on white privilege and the patriarchy. Instead it was a cool mystery with Jedi. What gives?
Lucas is a real one for this. And for his effort standing up for screenwriters, people used his absent writing credit on TESB to say he was a bad writer 😔😔😔
One of the Empire producers, Howard Kazanjian, said the drafts changed so much that Brackett wouldn’t have got credit if not for Lucas. He went to the WGA and requested Brackett be given co-writing credit. He also paid Brackett’s family more than the agreed $50k. 28/39
Congrats to the legend that is @Tree_and_Troll - his scripts are always dark and twisted but just so much fun!!!!
What a wonderful night! Thanks to all who came to the cast and crew screening of Ash Sunday last night 🙏🙏🙏🙏 @LenaRichUK @WLiversidge @JamieLeeHill2 @TiffanyHD @AgataNielsen
I’m delighted to confirm that Ash Sunday is complete, and will be screening privately on April 22nd. @LenaRichUK @AgataNielsen @TiffanyHD @JamieLeeHill2
On the offchance that anyone knows his agent, I definitely have pitches for a project like this.
