No Love for ScriptShadowTwo months later and the dogpile continues:
A script in active development is not a blueprint for a movie, it is an archeological footprint of the development process itself. It reflects a writers reaction to producers, her input from her agent but not her manager, his notes that get the lead actor attached, the draft that costs $30 million more than any studio would spend, the version that attracts foreign sales agents. A draft is just a draft, a living creature caught in a freeze frame. Every time we send one out we think of a million things that could be different. They aren’t meant to tell the story the way a movie is meant to tell a story. Not even close.
For the record, I like ScriptShadow for no other reason than it constantly amazes me what people consider to be “good” screenplays.
