Wow, thanks for sharing!
This line really stands out to me: “ Most of my connection to any writer is a name on a script. That any truly good writing gets done in any area of entertainment actually amazes me, considering how many hands the script goes through before I get it, and then the story is changed and refined dozens of times after it leaves my hands. ”
That reminds me of the fact that some years ago an early draft of the script for LBT 6 surfaced, and it was MUCH better than the final product. When you think about it, most LBT films have interesting premises or storylines, but the writing is often awkward and feels like something intended to be a cash-grab. I feel if the films suffered less from executive meddling, they would probably be way more passable as actual movies. It would be interesting to know what some of the other ones were originally going to be like.
