New Assemblage is endowed with a Steve Madden Faame, sound level and soprano of this reading .
We fuck designated the mortal Steve Madden Faame. Many of the Steve Madden Faame and expect you leave like it. For your comfort, you do not need to be complicated. Chance a Steve Madden Faame from one to added anymore. The Steve Madden Faame is advisable and cheaper here then.I've mentioned in other blogs how rare it is to find Producers that know how to enhance a script nowadays. This was mandatory a few decades ago. I think that the digital age and expansion of film schools allowed more Producers to rush ahead to production. In my mind, hey, it's great that they get to produce a film. But steps along the way - steps learning the elements of great storytelling - are often skipped. That is why you hear so many bizarre comments in studio meetings about rewrites on your scripts. Here you are a writer that toiled away at writing s solid story, and suddenly a Producer asks if you can make the death of the midget drowning in the toilet man else just used less insulting for midgets (this is an actual note from Warner Brothers on a comedy assassin movie.)
Steve Madden Faame
I have been lucky enough to work with any Academy Award winners. I would be whether a Screenwriter for Hire or I would have written a script they wanted to set up.
Here is a list of the infamous Producers or Directors I worked with, learned from, or set up projects with:
Freddie Fields: Glory
Jerome Hellman: Midnight Cowboy
John Badham: Saturday Night Fever
Barry London: Head of Paramount/Titanic, Forrest Gump, Braveheart, Top Gun
Cort/Madden: Mr. Holland's Opus
Albert Magnoli: Purple Rain (early guidance in film making/writing)
Sydney Pollack: Tootsie, Out of Africa, countless others (seminar mentoring)
Tony Scott: Top Gun, Man on Fire, Unstoppable, A-Team, countless others.
Joel Silver (Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, etc.) didn't beyond doubt do script improvement or mentor/advise me in any way. Though he is a big name.
My experiences with the big days of New Line were interesting, and I learned a lot.
But the three most influential are Freddie Fields/Jerome Hellman, and Barry London. John Marsh at Tri-Star was splendid at showing me how to enhance a script. As was Justin Dardess. I'll incorporate on Fields, Hellman, and London, since I prestige them with advancing my talents far beyond most writers, especially when it comes to Marketing, Funding, and Distribution savvy.
Freddie Fields. Wow, what a legend. I met him straight through Cary Selig, a splendid female producer. She was a D-Girl for him before involving to originate Bel-Air Pictures (Collateral Damage, Message in a Bottle, The Replacements, Pay It Forward, and more.)
Freddie Fields was the Producer or administrative Producer on: American Gigolo, looking for Mr. Goodbar, Poltergeist, American Anthem, Glory, Millennium, Fever Pitch, Crimes of the Heart, and Victory. But before that - get this - he was one of the heads of Icm (then called Cma) and was credited as instrumental in the careers of Judy Garland, Woody Allen, Henry Fonda, Marilyn Monroe, Robert Redford, Peter Sellers, Steve McQueen, and married a Miss Universe. He set up Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, American Graffiti, and Star Wars.
And I was mentored by him for a year. Unbelievable. I learned more than I could ever put into a blog - about the energy and the deal manufacture behind ended doors. (Only Barry London taught me more.) Here is how it all happened.
Keri is a astonishing brunette with a exquisite body, the type you would imagine came to L.A. To be a star. But she was only curious in production. I met her out at a bar, straight through friends, and she gave me her amount for business. We met a few times for drinks, then sort of vanished from each-others lives.
I started writing an operation script called Hard Knox. It is the story of the stealing of the gold out of Fort Knox while a tornado. The tornado ends up being the bad guy. It had some unique plot twists in it. I knew it was a hot idea. I was on page 80 when I ran into her and she told me she moved to Fields/Hellman. I went in for a talk, and she had me pitch her three ideas. Since Hard Knox was not finished, I pitched that one last, but she knew this was the one. She asked me for a sneak copy. I went home and touched up what I had written and, unfinished, delivered it to her.
In the meantime, I had met a small time Producer that had a film deal at I think Millennium Pictures, plus an open door at some studios. He needed a screenwriter for hire. I don't even remember his name for sure but think it was Jacque. I only remember his attitude toward the film he was directing in a month. It was a million film, shooting in Vancouver. He called it shit, a waste of time, etc., and something that he wanted to do and flush in the toilet but he needed the money. I felt so sorry for the actors. The story and writing was very watered-down and anemic. He had read Blood, Sweat, and Gold after a lawyer told him I was the best undiscovered (cheap and willing to do ghost writing is how he saw it) writer in Hollywood. He wanted me to do a ghost writing fix on his dream scheme for a few thousand dollars, so I took it. I was working on that at the same time as Hard Knox, but had not told him about it.
Meanwhile, Keri wasn't even ended with it when she called me and said, 'My boss wants to meet you." At that time, I did not know who the legendary Freddie Fields was, or or what would happen to me if he did a film for/with me.
I walked into his office and there was this 70 year young man, Freddie. We had a fairly formal meeting. He talked about his accomplishments, and was ordinarily looking me as who I was - a naïve, needy writer with some talent. He had read Hard Knox's first 80 pages, and said simply, "I can make this a movie." He brought in Jerome Hellman, legendary Producer of Midnight Cowboy, and they were chummy with me. Then Jerome left. Freddie was for sure the hard ass, hard line deal maker. He said he wanted a free selection on it. I said no. He chuckles and says that it's okay that I don't know what's being offered, and that he promised he would make me a great writer in return. I said it sounds good, but was still too naïve to know what I practically passed up.
After that meeting I had a meeting with Jacque. When he told me about Freddie he asked me if I would give him a copy of the script. I had one in the car from the meeting so I gave it to him. I got his notes on his own lame script and left.
The next day I had a meeting with Freddie. It was my first meeting to discuss how to enhance my script, make it a slam dunk. He was very nice, and told me some cool stories about Hollywood. I liked the guy. And I was beyond doubt learning. By then I had practically ended the script. It seemed like a deal with him would turn out okay, but, then again, I had good meetings before, and was not married to Freddie if a great offer came in. And they were. I was more attached to Keri. That was my loyalty at that time.
When I got home, Jacque called me back to his house. I view it was to give me more notes. I entered the house. He was intense! He desperately wanted this Hard Knox. He knew it was a super hit. His connections at Millenium were enough to get traction, and he would attach himself to direct. Then he went into a long diatribe about how evil Freddie Fields was, "He will fuck you over so bad that you won't even know he fucked you until your ass bleed a year later." This guy was so crass and insulting on Freddie... It didn't seem to fit with who the Freddie Fields i had gotten to know. But Jacque went on and on about Freddie being a snake who is too old to make someone else movie.
I went home and didn't know what to think, I made no commitment, but Jacque view he had me on his side. I didn't have a meeting set up for Freddie for 3 days, but he did expect me I guess to call the office. Instead, I did some touch ups on Knox. Jacque tried to coerce me over a lunch to sign an agreement, but I said I wanted to end the script first.
Freddie has great radar. He called me out of the blue and said, "Scott, I can feel you're pulling away from me. Come in, and let's talk." I did. When I sat down, he said, "Scott, a lot of citizen will want this script. But it's not ready to go out. It practically is, but it's not. They will tell you all sorts of things. But you don't know enough about the business to know if it's worth anything. I can tell you something that I think you will understand. Anyone that tries to convince you to take out this script needs to have a game plan that is solid and based on success. If they don't have one, then they are wasting your talent. I'm going to tell you my game plan for how to build heat on this script right now." And he proceeded to tell me over about 15 minutes his strategy, the strengths of the script, the worries a studio has on it, the burden on the producer - stuff I never in my career learned! I loved it. Then, he said, "Okay. Now, I think you have some things to tell me, some questions or concerns. What's on your mind?" There was a moment of silence as I decided if I should be coy or tackle this head on. I figured the script was so good I could say what I truly felt. So this is how the conversation went.
"I've been telling citizen that I'm doing my new script with Freddie Fields." He smiles proudly. "They're telling me a lot." He smiles broader. "What this one man said is - Freddie Fields can't be trusted. He's a snake. He'll fuck you." There was this dramatic pause, then he said with a smile trembling behind anger, 'Who said this to you?" "I can't tell you that. But I can tell you this. My father retired last year, and the Wall street Journal ran a third page narrative on him being one of the last incorruptible men on Wall Street. And he told me, "When you hear bad things about a flourishing man and they do not agree with your gut feelings, just put the cards on the table, bring it out into the open, let him elaborate himself, but most of all, let him start fresh with you if your gut tells you you feel good around him." So here's what that means to me. You know so much more about the business and have all the power in this situation that you can screw me and there's nothing I can do about it. But I don't think that is going to happen. I told you this because I decided just now to go with you. I'm going to shake hands on that. And once I do, nothing will coerce me to break my word, you are my producer. Even if things go bad, I'm on your team. Now you have a choice. Regardless of your past, good or bad, you have a opportunity to start fresh with me as if you never in your life ever sold out or betrayed trust. This is like a rebirth. So, let's be partners, and you do what you decide, but for right now, all I want me mind to focus on is writing the best words for you."
Wow, that was heavy.
I didn't know it for sure then, but he beyond doubt did have his eyes water up. He picked up the phone, and said to Keri, "Cancel my next meeting and order lunch in here for us. We're booked until 2." Then he walked out from behind his desk, had me take a seat on the easy chairs, while saying, "I have never in my life heard such a meaningful start of a writer partnership. I'm going to show you who I beyond doubt am. And I'm going to teach you more than you ever imagined about this. I'm taking you under my wing and manufacture you happen in Hollywood. Now, write down on this paper what you hope to get from Paramount." I wrote in 0,000. He read it, chuckled, and said, "I'll get you double that even if I write the check."
This started a splendid father/son sort of mentoring on Hard Knox. He took 3 hours a day for three days to go over every singular sentence I wrote to tell me its value, to keep it as is, or to change it. He brought out many scripts, comparing key set piece moments or character dialog from award winners. He evolved my writing 3 fold. He told me the full story of how Glory got to be made into a movie even though all of Hollywood said a million Civil War film staring Broderick and blacks would be the bomb of the year. He told me all about branch deal structure and motivations. It was fantastic. He also told me of his two key regrets then. One was his son, who was estranged from him and I was seen as a way to do right and hopefully start fresh with him. And the other regret was he drove into his driveway and somehow he ran over both dogs.
In the meantime, his money beyond doubt saved my mom's life on medical payments and kept our family together. My mom sent him a Christmas card that was so honest in her praise for goodness in him that Keri said he cried.
Then came the day the script was presented to renowned and Fox. He knew it was a renowned film. We began deal manufacture and I was in on the talks in his office via phone. It was a push for him to go from Glory to Hard Knox. But we ended the deal. He knew I needed money and that renowned would take a long time to close his deal even though my script deal was set beyond doubt for 5,000 plus 5,000 in rewrite fees, and ,000 in bonuses. So he wrote me a personal check for A Lot! Then told me to pay him back when I get paid. Six months later I was paid, and on that day, I walked in and handed him a check. He was flabbergasted. He said, "No one in Hollywood every pays back, and not on the first day. You're just like your father." That was the most compliment.
The deal went well. We were on the fast track to filming. We got the writer from RoboCop wanting to direct it as his second directing. He did a polish on the script, and we were going for actors. Then something happened that was out of our control. Speilberg announced he was doing Twister. And he was going to lock up all the most recent Cgi for it. renowned didn't want to risk arrival out with a movie that was good enough, but that Speilberg's name alone would overpower it. They were on a super fast track for production and would beat us to theaters by 3 months. Our movie went into turnaround. I had made about 5,000 on it, but was sad it was not made.
I can pull it out of Turnaround if needed. It still works as an operation film, and is no longer that expensive to do. It could be done probably for million now due to advances in Cgi.
Working with Freddie also got me a open door at Icm. I should have beyond doubt pushed to stay there. That was a big mistake of mine. But the agent that met with me had read Hard Knox and liked it. But, there was this odd sort of vibe in the agency. They were chasing the hits. Which means they focused on what was hit now and trying to ride the tails to script sales. I'll tell you what I mean. I meet, and one of the first things the agent says is, 'Do you have any scripts about Big Babies? I mean, giant ones? Because they're this script about big babies and it got dumped and now a few studios think it's a good idea." I told him no, somehow I had left Big Baby themes out of my reportoire. "Can you write one fast about big babies?" No. We didn't ever recover from my lack of Big Baby scripts, so I went from there to Gersch branch and Jim Lefkowitz, who later went on to claim fame for selling a script for the most money ever. I think it was over million. Not sure.
After the deal went into turnaround, Freddie and I tried retention in touch, but he was getting very old. Hard Knox was going to be his last film. I beyond doubt wish I could have done it with him. Keri set up some meetings at Bel Air. They didn't supervene in a film. But, she was also key in getting Hollywood wired into the new technology we all use today. She hyped me up for High Definition, manufacture me one of the first film makers to experiment with it and shoot a real show with it. Thanks, Keri.
I believe Freddie has died. There goes a true legend.
I applied all I learned to my writing, and all my scripts went up a notch in quality. Albert Magnoli penned and directed Purple Rain right out of Usc film school. He gave me a lot of pointers. He told me things about Tarantino's talents long before he was famous. And, he also told me to never let Anyone else direct Catapult. And it is turning out to be my first major film. It's an operation film so good that the funders will take a opportunity to make it my first huge release movie.
Sydney Pollack met me straight through a female he was friends with, and I ended up being close and learning from him while some of his many tutoring or speeches on great film making. He never got close to doing a script of mine, though. I mainly learned about directing from him.
I didn't work in production with Tony Scott, but I did spend time with him for 28 days in Utah. Learned by notice and listening.
How I met Barry London is pure luck. man had given him a screenplay of mine called Atm. It is a wild comedy about a high school reunion. I had just come back from shooting the sitcom Club Fiji in Fiji. The phone rang on a Sunday. "I'm looking for Scott Morgan, who wrote Atm. This is Barry London, do you know who I am?" "They producer that had me look at his film Rich Girl?" [That was a terrible film and a failed producer so I was not excited.] He laughed and said, "No, i made a few films you might have heard of -- Forrest Gump, Top Gun, Braveheart, Ghost? I'd like to know if you are ready to meet with me today in Calabasas?" This began a most splendid learning curve for me. I cannot say enough good about him. Yet, I don't have the room here in this blog to tell you all we did together.
Looks like I am at the end of how long this blog can be in words, so I will have to talk more about Barry London in a isolate blog. You can read it and learn more about me straight through my profile links.
