Sure, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey looks epic... But this will always and forever be the definitive adaptation. #Scriptsky

IDEA: LADY 'Q A frustrated woman pitmaster gender enters the "Mister Meat" national BBQ contest as a man... then beats all the (ahem) eccentric competition. Its TOOTSIE meats BEST IN SHOW. Lowball offers not accepted on this one, Hollywood. Bring your folding money this time. #Scriptsky

My face now that I realize what needs to be done to fix this script, and it ain't going to be pretty or easy. #Scriptsky

When I worked on The Office, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg “Are we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a little thread on them… 🧵1/X #Scriptsky #Screenwriting

#scriptsky Excellent advice from @crobertcargill.bsky.social

Fact or Fiction? DUNE The Fremen’s eyes change blue due to spice exposure. YES, there are medical reasons for eye color changes/color rings/etc - in real life, silver toxicity CAN turn the eyes (and skin) blue But alas, only magic can cause GLOWING eyes #writing #scriptsky #filmsky #booksky

I was doing a movie with Tsui Hark (and Oliver Stone's producer, A. Kitman Ho), back in 1997. A live action adaption of "Lupin III", that we would have done with Jim Carrey. Alex Ho (lovely, lovely man) ended up losing the rights, so it never happened. Craziest screenplay I ever wrote! #scriptsky

Free to good home: One horror movie premise, complete with title... #scriptsky

Writers, there are SO MANY unique ways for your characters to have side effects or overdoses from medications, compounds, and the natural world. Don’t just make stuff up. Ask your friendly neighborhood doc/toxicologist for ideas to add some flair and realism #writing #scriptsky #gamedev #booksky

Hollywood's never been kind to writers over 40. BUT blockbuster WICKED was written by Winnie Holzman (70) & newbie Natan Dotan (40) sold recent spec for $3mil. Fourteen yrs ago WGA won $70 MILLION against studios/agencies/netwks for age discrimination. Writers get better w/ age! Keep on! #scriptsky

How it started vs. How it’s going #scriptsky #writeyourspec

I have no idea if I did this correctly but I looked for a Starter Pack for South Asian writers and didn't find one - so I made one. Please share and feel free to let me know if you want to be added 🤎 #southasian #scriptsky #writersky #authorsky go.bsky.app/TTefBKP
