I went to film school, and I came in when video art was king, weird stuff was king, and there, you don't have a script as your bible.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You work on a play or movie, you have the whole script, so you're constructing a performance based on the bible that you have. In TV, you don't, so to actually invest in that and let that be the exciting part is terrifying and certainly leaves room for mistakes, looking back.
Script for an actor is like a bible. You carry it with you, you read it over and over, you go to your passages.
Biblical movies need not sermonize, just be honest to the foundational story. As powerful as the message is for people of faith, it's really great storytelling.
The Lord Chamberlin was censoring scripts when I first came into the theater.
Hollywood has done some of these films, and some of them are ginormous biblical movies, but you can tell the people making these are not invested in the truth of what those stories are biblically. It shows in the work.
Some quality performances and movies have a chance to be rewarded, but it's not like it's a bible.
Are Christians too stupid that we can't write a script, we can't film a movie OR we don't know how to act?
The Bible was not written for entertainment purposes, so it's a real hodgepodge and a compendium of all kinds of stuff.
I keep every script from every film that I ever made because it's like a workbook of that time in my life.
You stick to the script, the script is Bible.
