#scriptsky I’ve had a screenplay for years that I would love to update and push lol
Come on @warnerbrospictures.bsky.social let me save the police Academy franchise ❤️❤️❤️😩😂
I converted to Judaism 20 years ago. I get why Israel’s leveling Gaza—Hamas hides among civilians. I don’t like it, but I understand the logic. But don’t tell me you can strike Iran with precision and avoid civilians, yet not in Gaza. That’s not ending a war—it’s ending a people.

Perhaps I'm a step slow, but spending $300M on an election to end up down $30B less than six months later doesn't scream 200IQ move to me.. anyone thinking this ? ;

Today I start keeping track of every step of the way in involving Jane Doe in the hopes of convincing screenwriters to become producers and filmmakers of their own projects

Wes Anderson has fallen too far into the stylistic aspects of what what he does. 
The best way I could describe it is Wes Anderson is an analog photographer , writing Instagram captions in screenwriting form.
and I LOVE WES ANDERSON. But he has lost his grip on how humans interact #scriptsky
This is a great idea

I genuinely love that.
I genuinely hope I could translate that to my children lol

Definitely does. With all the screenwriting platforms, crashing or being closed even if they come back as something else it just feels like you’re wasting money. I don’t knock it obviously, but it just feels like you’re better off failing/succeeding at your own hands.
16.05.2025 15:16 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I plan on making this myself. We already have at least a small part of investment about 10% of what I’m thinking. So I wouldn’t even bother with blacklist unless I’m selling. And even then, I’ll probably have a better chance of chasing down investors and making it myself 😂😂😂
16.05.2025 15:13 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Hell no. lol I’m the nephew of script consultant. It took me three drafts to get to the 7.5 and only one to get 8.3.
The second email I bought but not from blacklist though
Two rounds of coverage, 5 drafts later of my horror Feature, a slasher,Jane Doe
Drafts 1-3: 7.5
Drafts 4-5: 8.3
Gonna get that 9 #scriptsky
Telling screenwriters it’s fine to “just write” feels wildly irresponsible right now.
If you want your project made—short or feature—you have way better odds learning to produce or direct. Script comps aren’t the path anymore. That era’s over. #scriptsky
. Films are intellectual property, not goods, so they represent a service that is not currently subject to tariffs.
My god we live in the dumbest timeline

This will be my Magnum, opus lol I genuinely am interested in potentially writing this coming together 😆😆😆😆 #scriptsky

Real Question:
Why are white supremacists always the least supreme whites?
Busy month, but the first three months of 2025 I’ve been pretty damn cool

A well known producer sent me an AI generated script today. He passed it off as his own saying it was his “first attempt” and “he was nervous for my feedback”… It was AI and he was trying to pay me to rewrite it to make it his own

For those who asked on the side:
“how did you know it was an AI generated script?“
Simple. Aside from the obvious signs. If you don’t proofread it before you send it off you don’t delete the question that the AI will ask at the end. In this case, “would you like scene numbers added to this”😂
Producers with no skill at excited for AI because now the skill they don’t want learn but make money off of is easily accessible.
I have no problem with AI. It has its uses but I was just emailed an AI generated script to “rewrite” for my normal fee who passed it off as his own. Smh
#scriptsky
I soft-shoed my ass off, came up with something halfway decent on the spot, and ended up getting paid handsomely to write a treatment for a movie that will never see the light of day. Industry’s wild. That level of anxiousness though? Ulcer inducing. #scriptsky #thestudio

And guess who got put on the spot to make it sound real? Apparently, their studio boss expected them to have an answer for the idea… #scriptsky #thestudio
