Jean-Pierre sent me a link this morning to this hilarious article in the New York Times:
A Screenwriter Shoots His Own Unproduced Scripts, With a Gun
« Many a Hollywood screenwriter has bemoaned the brutal Darwinism of the movie business, has felt the dull pain of too many pages and too many years of orphaned work unproduced and unrecognized. Few, however, have found the path of catharsis and creativity discovered by Mr. Benedek. […]
In the Hollywood hierarchy, the screenwriter is Everyman, an undervalued cog – albeit a well-paid one – in the whirring entertainment machine. Mr. Benedek’s move to take control of his own work sounds like a dark fantasy for many of the movie world’s ink-stained wretches. »
C’est pour quand un Quicktime de Martine en train de tirer (avec quoi?) son disque dur contenant ses scripts?
:)
Heh heh… Si on ne tourne pas un de mes sc�narios d’ici un an, la tentation va �tre forte!
I don’t know about the quality of this script, but as a work of art it sure looks nice.
