These are also excellent for anyone interested in how movie scripts are formatted! AMERICAN PSYCHO. Email-Address as PDF E-BOOK (Not Hard Copy!!!). May 19, 2010 - American Psycho script at the Internet Movie Script Database.
Writer/director/actress, and one of the most influential proponents of LGBT cinema, Guinevere Turner, sat down with NFS to talk about her work as a screenwriter for such films as,,. While sharing about how she got started, her process, and techniques that made her a better writer (yes, including writing bad scenes,) she also discusses her feature directorial debut for her upcoming project Creeps. NFS: So, how did you get into screenwriting?
GT: I got into screenwriting in kind of a roundabout way -- unexpected, I should say. I went to Sarah Lawrence College -- I thought I was going to be a novelist. I was living in Chicago, my girlfriend just graduated from film school, and we were both bemoaning the state of lesbian cinema.
And then I said, 'Well, I'm a writer. I'll write a script. You're a filmmaker, so you'll make a movie.' I'd never wrote a script in my life when I wrote the script for Go Fish. I got into screenwriting because I just decided to do it. I never studied it -- and it's funny, because now I teach it. It was very much a learning-by-doing, trial and error process.
The guy who wrote Ocean's Thirteen -- -- I was looking at his, and he said, 'All screenwriting books are bullshit. Watch movies. Read scripts.' That has kind of been my execution. One time I really broke down, thinking, 'What can I learn from this movie?' And you know what it is?
Do you know why it's so popular? GT: Because it goes from a montage to a great song about every 15 minutes.
NFS: Let me tell you a little story. When I was in college, I took a class on female directors, and on that syllabus was Go Fish and American Psycho -- two totally different stories written by the same woman. GT: It's funny to me, because I feel like I have these very passionate fanbases that are two completely different animals that don't even know the other exists. Like, I don't think the people who like Go Fish even know I wrote American Psycho and vice versa. NFS: Is it safe to say that as you mature as a writer, you start writing differently -- different subject matter? GT: I think most writers stick to genre more or less -- the genre that they work in.
But, I think for me, one of the things that was informing my choices after Go Fish was that I thought a lot of people, critics, audience, everybody thought, 'Oh, that was cute, but now they told their story. Like, people got the impression that it was a semi-documentary and we were all friends in real life and it was improv. None of that was the case. So, I felt this incredible need to prove that I had a lot more to say. That was a huge part of why I was excited when asked me to do American Psycho with her -- and Bettie Page.
You know, Go Fish was such an anomaly, and we were so young, and we knew we'd have to work hard to get real credibility -- not just be those cute girls from Go Fish. NFS: Even as a female writer, you don't want to be -- you know -- the thought is, 'Women write love stories about girl things --' GT: Mother-daughter stories. NFS: Exactly. GT: Stories about quilts and pants. Stories about Tuscany.
NFS: That's exactly what I'm saying! So, it is important to show that genre isn't gender specific. GT: I'm actually doing something again with Mary. It's 5 horror shorts directed by women. Mary's doing one. Is doing one. The are doing one.
All directors and main characters are female. It just seems like it's going to be a really cool project that will really showcase what we're talking about, which is that females making films doesn't mean romance -- or -- you know, I don't know -- just chick shit, you know. NFS: I was actually wanting to ask you about working with Mary Harron. Scramby v2040 keygen. You've co-written a couple of screenplays with her. What is it like to collaborate with another writer? GT: Finding a person you can collaborate with is more important than finding a spouse.
