They should probably reboot Harley Quinn. I like Margot Robbie, butI can imagine a more serious take. Something like Dr. Melfi falling in love with Tony Soprano.

I think I watched Death Becomes her again the same day OP posted. On the subject of Sausage Party. I watched that on the same day I watched Swiss Army Man. It was a day of surreal and dark humor. I enjoyed both Sausage Party and a Million Ways to Die in the West. If I had a choice of...

Ooh that gives me an idea. Most horror movies are dark and dreary...what if we go the other way?

The true definition of horror is a feeling of revulsion, disgust, and dread. I've only really felt genuine horror from 2 movies. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and A Serbian film. Neither film would likely be found in the horror section. Most movies are terror through suspension of disbelief...

That jokes been done to death. I like it when the joke is reversed. In Cabin Fever an old southern man says it, and you immediately think that he is an old racist bastard. The people who are offended are all white. The white people dwell on how racist the old man is. We're left to believe he...

Ravenous and El Topo are excellent! Though some have called El Topo an "Eastern" because of its transcendentalism. Tarantino does do some more complex cinematography. In Inglorious Bastards he does more than usual. The camera angles he does are generally pleasing, but he's no Kubrik or...

Keep practicing your English. Watch them in 7 years. Then tell us what you think. I liked Attack the Gas Station and Run Lola Run, but I don't think I can judge the dialog as much as I can the translations(for their wittiness, not their accuracy). With Run Lola Run I understand a decent amount...

I always wanted to make an extremely serious movie that ends with a bunch of clowns. Like the movie is dark,and ominous the entire time, but then out of nowhere it ends silly and ends suddenly.

oh yeah, I did misread that. I have to get past his difficult to read prose. I'm looking at it more from a writer/director/producer perspective. A person wearing all the hats. But my advice works the same as far as creativity in general. I could replace the directors with writers names. If you...

Also, a thing about writing outlines: It is a bit like a Coloring book. You have an outline. All you have to do is fill it in. You pick the colors and the shades, you get to decide where to leave it empty. You also don't have to do it linearly. There was this page I read on writing...

Nobody, It is possible to have a different world view and style with your directing that is fine. I have seen works by Kubrik, Gillium, Spielberg, and Snyder and they all have pretty distinctive styles. If you don't want to make a realistic movie, don't make a realistic movie. Make the one you...

It takes minutes to self publish a book on Amazon. Because of this I'd imagine publishers are not as flooded as they used to be. https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/ It has been joked that every single person who lives in LA has written a screenplay. While not 100% the reality it is not far from the...

I find editing to be fun.

It's only white washing if you take a character that was originally another ethnicity and make them white for the sake of commercialism. I've seen some recent movies where there was outrage over casting of some characters, but I thought they were balanced out by another decision. Take Doctor...

Hope all goes well. Maybe not try to bullshit. They might respect honesty? Or Bullshit? you have your foot in the door good luck!

When in doubt ADR. It sounds bad on paper, but there were long periods of time where directors would simply film with no sound and then get another actor to do the voice in post. It eliminates sampling problems at least. Italian directors in the 70s and 80s would do this a lot. They had certain...

It isn't necessary, but it could be helpful. The reason I call this hacking is because the brain has long term incentivization. Money is an incentive that has been taught from an early age. I haven't done this personally, but heard from others where this works. Now I did make the promise that I...

I have the same problem. I've written one full screenplay, and dozens of outlines. I wish I had fleshed them out. 2 of my ideas I wrote actually were made into movies by someone else. If I had worked faster than I would have been first. There are so many people now, it's very easy to come up...

It is possible to like more than one film maker. Just because you like the Coens doesn't mean you can't like Tarantino and Spielberg. They've all made fantastic movies. You're also making a bigger deal about the Coens ethnic background than you should. These people are American and all have...

Science Fiction? I'm sure if you make a Time Travel movie and find some good form of online distribution than we will all eat it up. The great thing about Time Travel is you can make some pretty cheap props and call it a time machine. Time Travel is always interesting. You have a couple things...
