I don't really look for a script and go, 'I need to do a thriller, so I'm going to do this.' I just read scripts and look for the best possible story.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I read as many scripts as I can and just find stuff that I think is interesting, find stories that I think are worth telling.
Anybody who sits down to write, and they think 'thriller,' maybe shouldn't be thinking that way. Maybe we should be thinking 'novel,' maybe 'thriller' way in the background, but that these are real people to whom things are happening. It just happens to be a hell of an exciting story.
I'm always looking for films, but the horror scripts that I get tend to be very repetitive and often not that interesting.
As a viewer, I really want to watch author-backed stories, and there is something amazing about thrillers, the way it captivates your imagination.
A good writer can set a thriller anywhere and make it convincing: the trick is to evoke the setting in such a way that it highlights the crime or unsettles the reader.
Good scripts and interesting stories are hard enough to find.
I have never done a thriller, and it will just be really fun for me to heave and pant and run and climb and break windows and scream every once in a while.
For me a thriller is a very carefully structured story.
I'd love to make a thriller.
The way to write a thriller is to ask a question at the beginning, and answer it at the end.
