The script is very good because the things that happen in it are very believable to me. It doesn't presuppose that the world has changed very much. You don't have to think that you're in a different world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've done a number of things based on real people or true stories or based on books, and I'm a great believer that you have to be true to the script.
Every script I've written and every series I've produced have expressed the things I most deeply believe.
It could be a great script but the director is not the right person for me to work for at this time. So there are a lot of elements that come into play and a lot of variables, but more than anything it's got to be a great script and a great character.
When I first read the script a few years ago I thought it was one of the best written scripts I had ever read.
The first thing, when I read the script, is that I need to care about what happens and feel compelled by the story and engaged by the characters. It needs to resonate with me, even if what the characters are going through is not something that I have experienced in my life. I have to feel like it has some sort of meaning to me.
Sometimes I read a really good script, and I just know that it's not a good fit.
Of course, I'm not allowed to talk about the script, but I can say it is a really good story.
I read a lot of script. In my opinion, most of them aren't good or aren't about people.
I just have a belief that when there is a rare script out there that speaks to you, you have to stick with it. You have to.
Scripts are corny and predictable. Real life is always better.
