Mamma Mia! DVD day is here
Out Monday 24th November 2008 – but only in the UK! Finally, the DVD we’ve all (well most of us) have been waiting for; the release of the Mamma Mia! movie on DVD. Release dates vary around the world; in Australia it’s been available since 6th November, which may explain why there are so many [...]
Continue reading...Screenplay adversary
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Your main antagonist is quite similar to your hero, except that they both have very different goals. It’s your adversary that causes your hero the main conflict in your screenplay. Your antagonist is usually a person, because it’s easier for your hero to be struggling against someone they can physically fight with, talk with and [...]
Continue reading...Character’s motivation and desire
Saturday, November 15, 2008
You often hear the public say ‘it’s the money’ when an actor asks the director what their motivation is for the scene they’re about to perform. That motivation has already been provided by the writer of the screenplay. If the writer has constructed correctly, the actor will know the character arc of their performance and [...]

Thursday, November 6, 2008
Just what is a screenplay writer worth? Of course there is no easy answer. The writer that gets their script produced in a Halle Berry/Jodie Foster movie making over $200+ million profit is very different from the small indie film that sells a couple of thousand DVDs and just breaks into profit, with many movies [...]

You’ll know from a previous post that I was looking for the screenplay of Mamma Mia! My delightful sister-in-law sent me this link to a website as I’d been looking for the Mamma Mia! screenplay (yippee, she reads this website!)

Wednesday, September 10, 2008
My latest writing assignment arrived last week. What a fun and an excellent challenge. I was asked by a theatre production company to write a piece for their next theatre show. Being one for a test I set off immediately to gather my thinking; in fact I had my initial thoughts during the briefing. My [...]

Saturday, August 30, 2008
You go to the cinema. That horrible smell lingers throughout. You crunch some under your feet. It’s everywhere; it’s a mess. It’s worse than confetti for clearing up. That awful stuff we’re told we have to love at the movies – popcorn. I know it sounds like a very poor script and it certainly can’t [...]

Tuesday, August 19, 2008
5 stars***** There’s a substantial difference between wanting to write a superior screenplay that you would like to write and a killer screenplay that you want to win the academy award. If you follow Blake Snyder’s rules you’ll be on target for your academy award rather than the screenplay you really sought to write. Blake [...]

Opening ceremony – outstanding! How many times did you say ‘wow!’? Firstly, apologies guys, this one beats all previous openings. How will the Brits beat that in 2012? What would you have produced with the sort of financial plan used in that wonderful opening ceremony? The budget just for the fireworks alone would be sufficient [...]
