Smelling a Rat
Mike Leigh
@UnicornFilmsLtd @JWCM @RachelSL Okayβ¦ So, in 2002, I production supervised a Mike Leigh play called Smelling a Rat that Michelle Williams was in. 3 years later, I saw her before the closing of another play I did, Hurlyburly. And she was pregnant. Now, Iβm not up on celebrity news, so it was a surprise. 1/2

Adventures in the Screen Trade: A Personal View of Hollywood and Screenwriting
William Goldman
@kylefandrews Adventures in the Screen Trade, 1990, not because I was considering screenwriting at the time, but because I was a fan of William Goldman the novelist⦠and, of course, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. (So much so that autosuggest fills that title in for me now.)

Now You Know
Michael Frayn
@muppitz @CharterHomes Whereβs the Lorax when you need him? The promises made vs. the ultimate actions, reminds me of Michael Fraynβs play, Benefactors. Idealism turned to a complete lack of integrity.

The Night Agent
Matthew Quirk
Started watching The Night Agent, which dropped on Netflix today, with the feeling that it was completely familiar. Turns out I read the book last year. https://t.co/AJZxY63O1M

The Lonesome West
Martin McDonagh
@timwestland @avishaiw I had been assistant set designer on his play, The Lonesome West, and Martin McDonagh wanted to participate in our Broadway Show League softball team. But he couldnβt make the adjustment from cricket. So, instead, he came to every game to cheer us on.

Aurora
David Koepp
@DavidAugust @marcblitstein The clapper says scene 110. Itβs not a short or commercial. I now hear that itβs shooting South of San Francisco. If it is Aurora, thatβs a David Koepp script.
