Last Thursday I wrapped up my article on how to make a movie. To be honest, it isn't so much a how to guide, as much as a satire on the whole process. Now that isn't to say there arn't instences of real intelegence. Hell, there are some real gems in there... so if it makes sense to you... I may have intended it to make sense.
Here is an excerpt:
DON'T CALL US, WE'LL CALL YOU
"Independent" filmmaker Kevin Smith was once told by a studio executive that movie making "This isn't about making a movie with your friends." Well, thankfully, since they aren’t giving you any money, unless you frequent them while wearing your hooker boots, you don't have to listen to them. So call up every one you know, your mother, your grandmother, your friends from grade school that you hadn't talk to in 10 years. Call every one. Tell them you have a part that is perfect for them (even if you don't) and so long as they are willing to work for nothing (Or something as little as a cheese sandwich when ever they are on set), then feel free to cast them.
That said, I have bigger fish to fry...
I have some important movie (industry) news. This has nothing to do with me, so I will keep it short and sweet, but only because I like other movies too.
Ghostbusters 3 - Dan Aykroyd recently wrote a new ghostbusters script that my actually see production. Akroyd co-wrote the first two films, so this is a good thing. Production is rourmored to include Rick Moranis, Dan Aykroyd, and BEN STILLER. I am interested in seeing how Stiller will work out.
Disney and Pixar - We may be seeing Disney and Pixar kiss and make up at some time in the near future. Since Michael Eisner left the film giant, the two companies have grown closer.
Clerks 2 - They have been filming for 3 weeks now. *Spoiler* Dante and Randal are working at Mooby's now... I know so long as it retains the movie "flare" that the last ones had, I will be happy.
Okay... I am late, and lazy... and have no big news to tell (hell... I don't think I worked at all this week) so I will cut this one short, and leave now.
