Writing Movie “WRONGS” By Jim West Fist Fight Directed by Richie Keen Written by Van Robichaux and Evan Susser It’s the last day of the school year and the seniors are cutting loose with every prank imaginable.  It doesn’t take long before the pranks aggravate the teachers so much that eventually pits two teachers against each other.  That is the premise of this film.  Two teachers fight after school.  Laughing yet?  I didn’t think so.  The screenplay writers seem to have a budding career on their hands with upcoming film work on “Wedding Crashers 2” and “Sonic the Hedgehog”.  Yet … Continue reading

This film is an original story that ‘fits’ … Continue reading

Writing Movie “WRONGS” By Jim West Rogue One:  A Star Wars Story Directed by Gareth Edwards Written by Chris Weitz, Tony Gilroy, John Knoll, Gary Whitta I am usually one to say film should NOT be split into two films just for sake of profits, and this is just the case for films based upon bestselling books like Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter.  Yet for this film it actually, and honestly needed a second film to expand upon character development.  With two screenplay and two story writers combined, and the news of reshoots and re-edits of this film … Continue reading
