Given that the process is a revolving door, as I worked on Shark Tale, I felt the best way to approach the script was to make the structure as tight as possible. For me, this primarily meant one thing: simplifying. Shark Tale is the story of Oscar (Will Smith), a little fish who takes credit for something he did not do: killing a shark. Suddenly, he rockets to stardom. Everything he’s ever dreamed of seems to come true. The only problem is, the shark he took credit for killing was the son of Don Lino (Robert DeNiro), the Godfather of the Great White sharks, and Lino wants revenge. Oscar finds himself having to become the hero he was pretending to be and stop the sharks, for real. Simple enough-but not really. Oscar has a best friend, Angie (Renée Zellweger). Unbeknownst to Oscar, she’s madly in love with him. But, he can’t see that because he’s distracted by Lola (Angelina Jolie). She’s the most beautiful girl on the reef, but she can’t be trusted. Then there’s Sykes (Martin Scorsese), Oscar’s boss. Sykes is a puffer fish who runs the South Side reef for Don Lino. That is, until he tells Lino that his son Lenny (Jack Black) is different from other sharks-Lenny’s a vegetarian. Add to this Lenny’s wiseguy brother Frankie, two Rastafarian jellyfish, an ancient Tiger shark with a flatulence problem, a dim-witted octopus and only 84 minutes of screen time. Now you have the whole picture.
I am a lost media search. From forum post: **Let me give you a quick history lesson. Shark Tale, originally known as Sharkslayer, was pitched around 2001 to Dreamworks by the duo that wrote Freddy vs Jason. It was conceived as a mature underwater noir film meant for an older audience. Not long after, Katzenberg decided it should be a comedy instead and fired the original writers. He got the french director of El Dorado and the co director of Shrek and told them to start working on the film. He also got one of the writers of Ice Age to helm the script. Halfway through production, Rob Letterman, a newcomer to the film industry, joined the project as co director and rewrote most of the script. They also got a huge bunch of storyboard artists and additional writers to punch up the interactions. Plus, they had the actors record their lines together and improv if they wanted to. It was a very frankensteined together project, and plenty of recorded lines and fully finished scenes ended up in the trash as a result.**
Well, I'm proud to be a fan of Shark Tale and I honestly don't care what other people say about the movie. To me, I think it's a very unique movie with very interest characters, a very interesting setting, and a very interesting plot, and I really praise the movie so much. Oh, and even though there are some people who didn't like the movie, I shouldn't be ashamed to like the movie 'cause I'm proud to be a fan of the movie and I honestly don't care what other people say. Shark Tale is a very unique movie and it didn't really have to be perfect to be a good movie 'cause it's already a good movie in it's own way :)
