Is doubling down on blockbuster construction the way to run a modern studio? Whether or not Warners is really going through with that, Geoff and I get into the weeds about what motivates a filmmaking industry constantly on the hunt for $1 billion and a shipment of plastic toys from China. We’ll also discuss the implications of shifting all your money into big bets in an age of demanding fans and super-monotony.

Plus, is it a curse or blessing when sequels for cult movies we love get cancelled?

You should follow the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more on a daily basis.

Notes

How extensively do you outline and how often do you go off on a tangent from that outline and have to revise it during the first draft?

Asked by scriptsnstuff-blog

Dug into this in the most recent Vomit Draft episode

Non-audio style: Scott outlines a healthy amount and diverges from it 50% of the time when better ideas come up.

Geoff hardly outlines at all (really none) but has a clear vision in mind for where the characters will go. 

But.. you should experiment and find what works best for you. Thanks for the question!
