Chris' story about dealing with notes towards the end is interesting because the Walking Tall remake's Rotten Tomatoes consensus states, "The Rock makes a competent hero, but the movie is content to let a 2x4 do all the talking."

Spiderman vs predator ? U fired lol

Logline: A mysterious ancient recipe written with hieroglyphs calls for a never before heard of ingredient discovered by a local archaeologist returning from Egypt.

I hope that next time you'll give us a few days notice before announcing the next live logline video.

Great discussion!

Big fan of the Companion Chronicles. Josh's work really brings to the action to life.

PLEASE: Next time listen to your playback before posting the video. Ramesh's voice is LOUD, GARBLED, almost unintelligible, while Joshua's is about 1/2 as loud. Makes for a VERY difficult listen...in fact, I had to stop at about 16 minutes in...

The Nice Guys is much much better than Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

The care and thought that went into their software is amazing! I've never seen anything comparable. This is very much worth a watch, and I hope I can cough up the money to try it. Thanks for the discount, btw!

Couldn't too much like the comp mean too derivative?

Informative and innovative! Thank you for hosting this webinar! Sharing now!

Thanks for hosting this amazing webinar, Christopher, Ramesh, Scott and Brian. Impressive, innovative and very well thought out assessment system and structure of The Gauntlet. Can’t wait to enter. Sharing this link with my writer and filmmaker mates. Appreciate your time guys🙏

Feedback from a TV Development Executive from Warner Bros.Studios who read and offered notes on my TV pilot script said, "I want you to know that I think your proposed series and pilot are very good; outstanding actually - obviously, you are a very talented writer. To take such a complicated concept and pull it together almost seamlessly is an art and you have, by in large, nailed it." This endorsement became a negative inclusion with my submission. Second note: Due to poor quality from a reviewer at The Blacklist, I dropped my work from The Blacklist. Writer's thoughts for your consideration.

Wonderful stuff, instrumental. All of it is good, but I loved that starting around an hour and thirty minutes there was a focus on good writing (tips and advice) and some common errors writers make (all supportive, not snarky or adversarial). I'll definitely watch that section again. Thanks!

You guys have a promo code to purchase the book?

Loved this conversation. Thank you.

It is one of those !only for those who know" kinda channel. But those who know, know it's hard to beat it.

WHY THE HECKIN AM I JUST FINDING OUT THAT I CAN WATCH THE LEGEND, RAMESH, SPEAK WITH EXPERTS LIKE CHRIS AND SCOTT?????????? this is fantastic.

Great video. Thanks!

"In a world...."

Serious question: If these men are so great, why are their films rated so poorly. Re Infinite: "On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 17% of 83 critics' reviews of the film are positive, with an average rating of 4.1/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "An initially intriguing sci-fi thriller that quickly veers into incoherence, Infinite is as inane as it is inconsequential."[31] According to Metacritic, which assigned a weighted average score of 28 out of 100 based on 27 critics, the film received "generally unfavorable reviews".[32] Ty Burr of The Boston Globe gave the film 1.5/4 stars and wrote: "Heading straight to streaming platform Paramount+ without the embarrassment of appearing in theaters first, the movie is both blissfully incoherent and weirdly generic, as if it had been assembled from the spare parts of other movies and glued together with stuntwork."[33] From The Hollywood Reporter, David Rooney said: "Infinite is a soulless grind. Juiced up with a succession of CG-enhanced accelerated chases and fight action interspersed with numbing bursts of high-concept geek speak, Antoine Fuqua's sci-fi thriller isn't helped by a lead performance from Mark Wahlberg at his most inexpressive."

Enjoyed this.

Great conversation. Guy's got the right approach to all of his software: it has to actually help, and be invisible to the user. As for the threat of AI, no generative AI, certainly now and likely for the foreseeable future, can create a screenplay or film on its own. They rely completely on humans for their initial input and all of their iterations. In other words, they are a tool, or could be seen as a collaborator. The quality of an AI-generated script completely depends on the storytelling and writing capabilities of the human prompting it. A thousand screenplays generated by a thousand people using AI will generally skew along the same bell curve in quality as a thousand people not using AI. Other writers are still the primary competition, whether they're using AI or not.

Sounds like something worth trying out

that's pretty incredible, will definitely give it a try

Thanks so much, I just missed the end, was there a code as discussed?

Very cool! I will definitely try it out!

This was fantastic information

Brilliant. This is legitimately a modern filmmaking Masterclass. Fantastic questions and topics and a fantastic guest.

Mc Quarrie you are a disgrace to screenwriting.

I can’t find Brooks’ book. Anybody got a link?

What went o Impossible 7 why didn't go well in the box office sad didn't go well you director What went wrong

Thank you!!!

he is such a cool and stand up guy.

Shannan, I enjoyed your input and you seem like a pleasant person. But please don't eat on camera. It's VERY rude and doesn't bode well for your degree of professionalism. If you must eat, just turn off your camera. Not hating. Just some constructive advice. God bless.

This has been pure gold, really gets into script consulting versus coverage.

Come on Meg, preach

This guy is dropping absolute diamonds here. Most inspiration filmmaker imo

You're trying to make yourself a filmmaker instead of letting the film make you a filmmaker.

"Just because you make or write a movie about something significant doesn't make your movie significant. The execution needs to be there and it needs to be in your own voice for people to feel the story. It could be about cancer, depression, love, job struggles, family, politics, saving lives, or even some significant experience or memory of yours, but you still need to do the work to help your audience feel it. Otherwise all they'll come away feeling is that it was a poor attempt at something good without feeling the good." - my quote because why not [Basically I just very much agree with Chris's views]

Very inspiring, hardcore knowledge re getting our vision out there. Especially now, as the WGA and my union, SAG-AFTRA, are in the existential fight of our professional lives. Make your movie!! 🖤

Kudos to both moderator Ramesh Santanam and his guest, lit manager Zach Cox, for a terrifically informative interview. Great questions, thoughtful responses. I appreciated hearing not only helpful info, but also the rationale behind it. Thanks so much.

"asshole who slept through alarm" 🤣

if that was going to be toms last top gun movie, then he should have died in the movie trying to save goose jr from whatever

This is a must watch vid for every aspiring screenwriter. I definitely will pickup the book. Thanks guys.

What's 'IP'?

Big fan of Eric’s book, The Idea, and his blog. His premises apply to both novels and scripts.

47:31 I was waiting for this moment, thanks for being brutally honest! And I liked how you guys got out of the tricky question! I wished you spoke more about ChatGPT and others, like Google’s Bard, for instance. Such an interesting topic when it comes to creating in general. I had a chance to deal with the term “transhuman” in college, and for me, AI is just another tool that helps people create stuff. But are we all really unique and creative as we think we are? AI will “steal” the jobs from people who are copycats anyway, which is a brutal, but a necessary thing to do: divide people into ones with a unique voice and the ones with a bit less unique voice. Only the strongest - or in this case, the most creative ones - will survive. So let’s get our popcorn, the show’s about to begin. And whatever the outcome, it’s what we deserve as a human kind. At least, that’s my opinion. It was great listening to you all, thanks so much for such a pleasant afternoon!

Awesome stuff here, guys! Thanks for sharing the insights.

Really helpful stuff! Thank you.
