Really? no, Really? with Jason Alexander & Peter Tilden28 Mar 2023

Writing Avatar, Apes Rebel + Titanic Door Solutions!

You are asked to co-write the next Avatar, but that movie needs to make over 2 billion dollars to break even – do you say yes? Really? No really? The last Avatar was 12 years ago… and movies, the movie business and movie-audiences have changed drastically since then. Would Avatar: The Way Water float like Rose… or sink like Jack? Rick Jaffa who along with his wife, Amanda Silver has penned The Planet of the Apes films, Jurassic World, Mulan – to name just a few - discusses James Cameron’s brilliance, risk taking and legendary temper. ALSO: James Cameron sent Rick & Amanda so much information that Rick feared for his marriage. The mechanics of writing a movie that smashes box office records all over the world, from China, to Mongolia, to Slovakia and EVEN in war-torn Ukraine. How difficult is it to sit in a room and creatively write scripts with a man who admittedly will nail gunphones to the wall when interrupted? The behind-the-scenes story of how Rick and Amanda defied Hollywood and made a CGI chimp the star of their $100,000,000 blockbuster. Jason & Peter also enter the Titanic floating door debate and offer some brilliant solutions.
