What if the vision gets diluted, changed or burnt so badly it can only be identified by dental records? But here's the way I see it: the last person you want to work with is someone who takes the 'That'll do' approach. <BR/><BR/>Good advice, and helpfully timely: I've a thing where I sometimes think I'd agree to anything to get it made and there comes a point very quickly when it stops being the thing you wanted. <BR/><BR/>And the harsh side of me is willing to continue to pursue it just for the credit, like sacrificing the idea for the help it may give me to get the next one going.<BR/><BR/>But then it abruptly falls to you to deliver on that material and if it really isn't what you wanted and you have no tie to it anymore, I don't think you can really conjure up what you need to write it convincingly.<BR/><BR/>I'm not at that stage, but I've been worried that I might be, especially since it's a project with people whose opinion and work I rate. <BR/><BR/>But jaysis, this project, Red Planet, the Midlands stage one Write Live, it all happens or fails to happen in October.<BR/><BR/>What I need is a round of other things to pitch for right now, preferably things that won't rebound on me until November at the earliest.<BR/><BR/>WilliamWilliam Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315381474957511300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400514519057660990.post-41124652993497270832007-09-25T23:28:00.000+01:002007-09-25T23:28:00.000+01:00Way to go, Mr Adams!Will you be taking 'those' fli...Way to go, Mr Adams!<BR/><BR/>Will you be taking 'those' flip-flops with you to the hotel, Jason?

I can think of a number of released films that could have done with someone in the background saying 'more machete wielding leopards, dagnabit!'.<BR/><BR/>It's usually because success has allowed the creatives total autonomy or the film has the dread credit 'writer-director-producer'.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01957384209312857833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400514519057660990.post-33587699019297523542007-09-25T23:09:00.000+01:002007-09-25T23:09:00.000+01:00Well then, congratulations must be thrown the way ...Well then, congratulations must be thrown the way of Martin 'the fiend' Two Scripts.
