@thekatyo @RachelLeishman @TheKylieChi No shade to your team, but I'm reminded of the story that Fincher read the Seven script after he told his team to start sending him the scripts they considered to be "bad".

@RachelLeishman Ooh that’s @TheKylieChi’s world 😬
I usually get stuff through my team which has been heavily filtered by the time it gets to me, yet still the strong majority are a struggle to get even halfway through.

So true. Literally just, “sort of good” is a treat these days.

People are looking for good scripts. I cannot stress this enough. Big directors, actors tired of playing the same role. Get your work out there, take risks & watch what happens.

This campaign finished on the 31st. 106% funded!
We smashed our initial goal of 5K by 16% + our stretch goal of 2500 by 6%.
Just wanted to say thank you to all that shared and/or donated. And to the rest of you for tolerating me posting incessantly about it.

We've got two days left and we're at 90% of our stretch goal. Sooo close to the finish line. Come help fund a short (think Aftersun, Past Lives) starring Dakota Blue Richards (The Golden Compass, Skins) and Evanna Lynch (the Harry Potter films). greenlit.com/project/each-c…

I'm producing the directing debut of Dakota Blue Richards (The Golden Compass, Skins). She's starring in it along side Evanna Lynch (Harry Potter). We're crowdfunding to cover post production costs. In 24 hours we've already hit 40%! greenlit.com/project/each-c…

If you could please share or if you're able to contribute, that would be a huge help! We're so close to seeing this come alive. Every repost, penny, quid, cent and dollar gets us across that finish line.

@TheJasonAllday @LukeBarnett Not quite. Less than 4 years from Spielberg hearing about the novel in October 1989 to its release in Summer of '93. Spielberg had the rights by May 1990. Shooting began August '92.
English
@LukeBarnett If I remember the conversation correctly, I was told (even with Spielberg’s connections and weight/ status) it took 5+ years for Jurassic park to be given the green light

Just listened to the Safdie Bros on a podcast talking about how Uncut Gems took 10 years to get off the ground. Every time it wouldn't work they'd just say screw it and make another small movie they could control until they got there and man, if that isn't the best advice.

@DavidLemon777 How do you feel about the Muppets tackling public domain works?

If you're excited by IP you can now steal- e.g. a Popeye/Tintin erotic thriller*-then you have no business making art of any kind.
*Now I see it written down, it doesn't sound that bad...

@JFACasey Strong Brian Duffield vibes with that style. His scripts for The Babysitter and No One Will Save You do something similar.
