WHY HOLLYWOOD HATES WRITERS AND WHY THIS LATEST CRAZE WILL QUICKLY FAIL
So Backrooms predictably sends Hollywood running to Reddit for new ideas. It’s the latest pathetic excuse for studio development execs who seem completely incapable of doing their actual job: developing real movies from scratch.
Let me cut to the ending first: Half a dozen or so ideas will be bought cheaply and developed expensively. None will get made. If one somehow does get produced and is marginally successful, the next batch will be bought at inflated prices… and quietly shelved. Then Hollywood will chase the next shiny fad with no memory of this one.
You can probably already guess why this trend will fail. But to truly understand why Hollywood keeps humiliating itself with these embarrassingly absurd treasure hunts, I'll outline in this thread the entire dysfunctional history the industry has with creators, writers and story.

23 yrs later Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is back on the big screen, bringing the same magic to a whole new generation. Audiences are dancing, cheering, laughing & crying together—just like the first time. @KaranJohar timeless classic still brings families and hearts together #K3G
Congrats to @TheShilpaShetty & the team of #Sukhee for a sweet, heartwarming film that’ll make you smile, laugh with friends, reflect on unfulfilled dreams & think about who you were before life got in the way.

An inspiring movie, built around passion, cricket & broken dreams. A big screen experience that takes you into the hearts of its characters & onto the excitement of the pitch. Well done @juniorbachchan @SaiyamiKher @AzmiShabana @SrBachchan #RBalki #GhoomerReview
Solidarity. Thank you @TheWritersGuild a fantastic day of action near Shakespeare’s statue in Leicester Square. United we stand, divided we fall. Without writers, there are no words at all. @WGAWest @WGAEast @johnaugust @ThatKevinSmith #WGAStrike
Woven together with magical moments like a fairytale but grounded in harsh reality, The Fabelmans is a triumph for Spielberg & an emotional tribute to dreams, filmmaking, following your heart & above all, Leah Adler. youtu.be/D1G2iLSzOe8 #TheFabelmans
Plenty of adrenaline fuelled scenes that take you into the skies & into the minds of the pilots, but wow, what a script @chrismcquarrie - beyond expectations. A sequel that elevates the original. See it on the biggest, loudest screen you can. Then see it again. #TopGunMaverick
The spirit of Maverick, the heart of Goose & a story of how you sometimes have to let go to let your spirit soar. Pure cinematic magic. Congrats @chrismcquarrie @TomCruise & thank you for a wonderful London premiere @ParamountUK @TopGunMovie #TopGunMaverick
The legacy & impact of #IvanReitman’s work will live on. He knew the joy his many movies brought others & was grateful for his success & audience. I’m so glad he got to see @Ghostbusters story continue through @JasonReitman who he was so proud of. Thank you Ivan, for everything.
There is nothing quite like looking at the majesty of the stars. To gaze above is to stir the soul within. Every night is sheer magic.
Don’t underestimate the power of storytelling. Develop, know & perfect your characters. Empower the protagonist through their flaws. Enhance the antagonist using the reason for their desires. Craft. Tinker. Writers can be the architects of actors’ dreams. #Screenwriting
Thanks to @SonyPicsHomeEnt for the wonderful #Ghostbusters 4K collection & ghost trap! The preview cut is brilliant & showcases how 🔥 Murray, Ackroyd & Ramis were at this time with the ad-libs & additional quips. It’s amazing to see this cut & the set is a rare treat for fans.
So many writers give up thinking the industry is close to them. It’s not. The door is right there waiting for you when your work is the best it’s meant to be. Don’t take it from me, take it from #QuentinTarantino Write. Now. You got this. #Screenwriting
Apollo Creed’s name is like Apostle’s Creed, with God as the father, a symbol of faith and affirmation of faith, heaven, hell and resurrection. It’s everything Rocky is about to go through & later Creed is a father figure to #Rocky @TheCarlWeathers shines throughout. ToBeContd..
That wraps up today’s #MondayNightAtTheMovies insight as we started Rocky. For the full discussion watch for an Instagram live as originally intended today. Be sure to catch @TheSlyStallone @Dolph_Lundgren @TheCarlWeathers in @mgmstudios #Rocky4SlyCut on Nov 11.
