I wouldn't mind having an extended version with the Skull Cowboy. I'm not a fan of CGI at all, but I would be for using CGI to have Brandon doing the Skull Cowboy scenes and all the scenes they could not do due to Brandon's death. Not as a replacement for what was released, just as something else we could view.

I don’t know … there has been some real backlash using cgi characters of actors who have passed away.

@@thesuccessfulscreenwriter Oh you are right about that, but maybe since it would only be for some scenes (the vast majority of the movie would still have the real Brandon in it obviously) it might be ok? But I hadn't thought about that before you mentioned it, maybe ask his family for permission and give them a a good chunk of any revenue made off of it? Only a thought, I certainly want to respect the dead, and would want to honor their family's wishes.

You would def need permission from his estate. I would much rather see a new fresh take on the Crow instead of a reboot. Hopefully we get that in the future.

Actually the movie is about: How totalitarianism in the modern age can lead to disastrous results bcuz there are THINGS THAT COMPUTERS & AUTOMATION SHOULD NOT be tasked with... cue the final scene & the pan out to show the ubiquitous camera's that everyone today accepts everywhere without questioning like they are fine with being spied on by the mossad & corporofascists thru their "smart" phones- which as you see with the pager bombs in the Holy Land aka PALESTINE can easily be used to HARM rather than help by the cabalist satanist's- so it is NO coincidence that "howard" was made manifest in the exact same type of camera like howard is the next gen of that 360 ubiquitous in America camera... so NOPE- you supposed "professional" movie people are dum dums &/or cabalists corrupt to the core trying to put everyone to sleep while the screenwriter was trying to wake everyone up warning them to what the NON HEBREW NON Semite rhymes with stews are up to establishing a global surveillance police state that will make the 1700 year Roman Empire [east & west] & the 1 000 year REICH of the british- rhymes with stews system >>> look like child's play- after all if it IS a computer in control of the concentration camp like the Holy Land has been turned into then who do you appeal to? You can't argue, persuade, appeal to a program... so you totally flubbed it you did NOT nail it at all!

Is it possible for Michael Andre to personally contact a good friend who tell her exactly about the scam because after her husband passed 10 months ago, she has terribly been made to believe he will marry her after more than $300,000 and still going. She is extremely in a fragile state and avoids anyone who tells her otherwise, including her children.

The way i see the future with AI is collaboration, research, and brainstorming. Not just for your generating the story, but also for hunting and helping resolve plot holes. So is great for getting past writers block. It's potential is only getting better with greater token limits and agent management. Still, the ability for AI to come up with genuinely original solutions to problems won't be fully capable as humans for at least a few years yet. It's coming, no question, but it's not there yet. I'm tinkering with SudoWrite now.

My pleasure, we watched it at least 2/3 in the span of 4 days about 5 months ago when I found it. I'm known for finding off the wall films and then sharing them with anyone who will listen to me babbling on about another amazing film I watched. Watched it again yesterday to get me pumped for a kid's film we are prepping for this summer. I needed the inspiration and I'm going to have the cast/crew watch it so they can get a sense of the feel we are looking to create. We do SEL (social emotional learning) projects. The topics deal with a wide variety of issues, yet they don't have to be delivered in such a serious manner. Excited to chat with you. Stay in touch@@thesuccessfulscreenwriter

Tell me about building the characters
@thesuccessfulscreenwriter7 ай бұрын
In my book The Guide For Every Screenwriter I discuss building characters after you discover your concept then theme. Essentially you don’t know what kind of character to build until you know what you are trying to say with your story thematically. You see your central character is the living embodiment of your theme. Their journey directly reflects what you are trying to say with your story. So I’d recommend begin with your theme first. Then build your character.

Excellent interview. I didn't know Josh Sawyer had used the Fallout universe and the Mojave desert as backdrop for a TTRPG, but that makes so much sense. So many games/tv shows get a lot of great character and depth that way. The Expanse was a world originally meant for an MMO that got scrapped, so it got used for TTRPG, then made into books, then into the TV series and finally into game. Love the process, especially as Drummer was an amalgamation of several book characters further tinkering with the final product.
