PROJECT CODE-X TRILOGY

Cut the Fat, But Not the Flesh...

Recently I read up on the controversy about why Hollywood is making such bad movies, courtesy of the wonderful Stephanie Palmer. Stephanie Palmer is a former MGM executive and she is the go-to person for helpful and pro-active advice for all aspiring screenwriters. You can read about her thoughts behind the controversy HERE.

Not long after reading this, I came across another article which talked about cutting scripts down to the bone. As I was in the process of adapting novel into screenplay, I felt that this advice was just instinctively wrong and it got me thinking that maybe this is another reason why Hollywood is making bad movies. Maybe the scripts are just too bare for people to get into the story...?? Here is my own take on the controversy, typically infused with a good helping of Irish humour "Cut the Fat, But Not the Flesh".
