CTPR 410 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: The Dear Hunter, Overacting, 18 Months
Document Summary
Need to get the adaptation in the right hands for it to work. American pastoral: did not work for 3 reasons. Story was in england where the book was in america. Should have been new york or new jersey. Much harder to make movies where there is water involved. Ingoing schedule: 2 weeks + 12 weeks + 2 free weeks + 5 days looping + duzzing. 2 weeks: preproduction, camera test, table readings, rehearsal (fight sequences, swimming, underwater stuff, etc: takes client away for a long time. Time is everything for managers and directors. 100k - billing - no less than 4th sep card (billing: when her name shows in the beginning, this is not enough for all these weeks. 2 options: never agree to optional pictures - these are terrible - ties up your client. Need to go to warner brothers every time you get another offer: movies have a beginning, middle, end.
