How is it that an obviously terrible movie script makes it to the big screen?
Question by thattdylannkidd: How is it that an obviously terrible movie script makes it to the big screen?
im just wondering what the process is behind the selection, production, and marketing of blatantly horrible movie scripts.
examples :
waterworld with kevin costner or whoever
where the wild things are (if someone can give me an argument against this choice that doesn’t include the words for, your, or interpretation i’ll disclude it)
echelon conspiracy (a direct copy of eagle eye with different actors)
date movie, epic movie, meet the spartans etc etc
ive been on trigger street and have read some crazy good scripts that will probably never see the the silver screen and i just think it’s f***ed up. i have wasted countless dollars taking girls to see bad movies and im sick and tired of it.
hollywood is turning to shit. its about explosions and special effects rather than feeling and substance. don’t get me wrong, they still make movies like avatar every now and then, which contain the best of both worlds, but not very often.
the only funny movies being put out are by the hollywood jew crew and that’s really all i watch anymore.
what ever happened to movies like requiem for a dream or titanic? i still watch aladdin and fox and the hound and marvel over how great they are. monsters inc, toy story, bolt, and wall-e are the only decent disney movies ive seen lately.
i just wish that sometimes i could go back to the days of honey i shrunk the kids, heavyweights, and the sandlot. *sigh*

Agents and pitch sessions. If you don’t pitch it well, it doesn’t sell. Plus, are there any good marketing tie ins? Sometimes a bad movie can make money on the marketing tie ins alone.
