Shady Producers
So, today's Script Tip is on your first script sale with all kinds of warnings about producers who may seem a little shady. Like this guy...
Zero Mostel is not around, Gene Wilder is too old (Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane are possibilities, if I could only meet them), so who should play the part of this NON-PRODUCER in the movie for which I am currently raising money not to produce? (Hurry! Investment opportunities are fleeting and imaginary!)
Here are some songs I am writing for the musical version (actually I'm stealing them from the Billboard's Top 100 hits, but shhhh!)
Give me Everything Rolling in the Deep Just can't get enough Hustle Hard
This movie is scheduled for pre-pre-pre-production in the not-so-near future. Send me money now! You have my personal guranatee that one of us will get rich.

Hi Bill,
ReplyDeleteDid you ever blog about your decision to turn down "Angels and Demons"?
Just curious!
I tell Ron Howard to go to hell!
