| The Dialogue: Learning From The Masters - David Goyer - Download |
"What can't be taught to screenwriters? Tenacity and having a hard skin. -David Goyer David S. Goyer has a deliciously twisted mind. (They don't call him The Prince of Darkness for nothing.) And he knows how to bring comic book characters and superheroes to kicking, screaming, vengeful life, as he did in The Crow: City of Angels, the Blade series, and Batman Begins. His intense Batman screenplay, written with director Christopher Nolan (Memento, Insomnia), resurrected the moribund Dark Knight franchise and confirmed his writing voice as a go-to source for a green light. Here, in this wry and surprising dialogue, Goyer reveals his tricks of the trade for how to intimidate a room full of studio executives, when to stand on principle, how to hook an actor's ego with killer character descriptions and dialogue, and why fear can pay the bills.

"I like to stretch the boundaries of genre and layer in as much interesting material as I can. -Jim Uhls Jim Uhls is not your average screenwriter. For one thing, his nickname is Professor Peculiar. For another, as this exclusive off-kilter discussion of his craft demonstrates, Uhls is eager to break the first rule of Fight Club: He talks about Fight Club. A lot. That seminal film, directed by David Fincher (Se7en, Panic Room), pushed every boundary possible for a studio movie, and Uhls' darkly funny script, adapted from the Chuck Palahniuk novel, is a wickedly subversive example of how to successfully adapt an unadaptable book. Step inside the mind of the man who figured out how to do it, as Professor Peculiar explains how to use a newspaper story approach to build a brilliant pitch, why you should interview your characters, how to know when to stick a fork in your screenplay, and the macabre particulars of how and why he had to murder his brother's cat.

"John Hamburg is a very funny guy. After starting a humor magazine called The Dalton Lampoon in high school and making a popular comedic short film about slacker bomb defusers while attending NYU's graduate filmmaking program, Hamburg wrote and directed the crime comedy Safe Men, which played at Sundance and spawned a devoted cult following. A sure-thing comedy closer, the New York City native built hilarious set pieces and character work into Meet the Parents, Zoolander, and Meet the Fockers that not only helped lift them to huge box office but also pushed a few new catchphrases into the American lexicon.

"Few screenwriters can concentrate for more than a few hours, let alone sustain a career in Hollywood for over 30 years. But the blockbuster comedy writing team of Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel has been making television and film audiences laugh for decades. In the early '70s, Ganz was writing for The Odd Couple while Mandel was receiving his first paychecks for work on M*A*S*H and Busting Loose. They both eventually landed on Happy Days, and when they followed actor-turned-director Ron Howard into feature films, the result was a frequent and fruitful creative partnership that led to hilarious and heartwarming comedies like Night Shift, Splash, Gung Ho, Parenthood, and Edtv. In total, Ganz and Mandel have written an astonishing 18 produced feature screenplays, including City Slickers, A League of Their Own, Mr. Saturday Night, Forget Paris, Where the Heart Is, Robots, and Fever Pitch, while also maintaining a secret career of un-credited rewrites on studio comedies.

| The Dialogue: Learning From The Masters - Jonathan Hensleigh - |
"Some writers are just not capable of outlining. They don't like it. They prefer to sit down, type Fade-In and find their way into the story. Then twenty pages in, they know the characters and can begin figuring out the plot. I work the other way, maybe it's my legal training... Jonathan Hensleigh knows good action. This former attorney stopped practicing law to pursue screenwriting, and with his big break writing episodes of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles for Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, his foray into the action/adventure genre began. After writing the screenplay for Die Hard: With a Vengeance, he worked on such films as Jumanji, The Saint, Armageddon and The Rock. Hensleigh also wrote and directed the film adaptation of Marvel Comics' The Punisher, for which he is also writing the sequel.

"ABOUT THE WEBINAR: If you read the scripts that are selling in this marketplace, you ™ll quickly realize that they aren't following the same old tired rules and formulas. This is why agents and managers say that they can spot a popular paradigm script from a mile away. These scripts never succeed. If you use a �this must happen by this page � approach you will almost always run into the following problems: Your script will read like all of the other scripts that follow the same rules and therefore have little chance to stand out. Your script will be predictable since the reader knows what specific plot points are going to happen on what specific page. Your script will be populated by less-than-compelling characters that feel like puppets forced to say and do things in order to serve pre-ordained plot points. Even worse, by conforming to a set of one-size-fits-all, paint-by-the-numbers rules, you tend to destroy what ™s original, unique, and interesting about"
