writer of stupid fun gay action-y scripts. All actresses + Harrison Ford. Star Trek is awesome. Even gayer than I was on twitter 🌈

All casting is ‘casting for the sake of casting’: you hire who you think audiences want to see That white dudes seemingly think the world only wants to look at white dudes while excluding everyone else from telling stories is a perversion of demographics, real and imagined, not a reflection of it

Feels bad that a director of a major studio film is perfectly comfortable saying that casting non-white actors is just something you do to look woke and otherwise isn't remotely necessary

#scriptsky Found a fun way to think about structure: Step 1 Step 2 It makes the process of a story so easy to see - or shows the order to tell a story in, anyway, aka the protagonist’s to-do list. (Step 1. find Ben. Step 2, find a pilot. Step 3, get off the planet…)

Hiring Han Solo, who enters any bar shot first

(I know this is basically the plot of The Secret Garden and also Fingersmith, but) Watching Jane Eyre (1943) and realised you could do *such* an awesome Gothic mystery from the POV of a child like Adèle. Ward of mysterious parentage arrives at a creepy country house…

#scriptsky I personally think an overlooked factor in recent box office struggles is tone. There’s a consistent tonal through-line to recent films, aka heavy focus on stuff that is 1. Ugly 2. Dirty (as in 🫧🧼🦠) 3. Painful 4. Violent to women I think they went all in on 1-4 and audiences checked out

Rewatching UK Traitors and talking about what reality tv show we’d commission, so here’s mine: A dating show in historical costumes with historical rules of deportment - Bridgerton meets Love Island. With events like dances (with dance cards), carriage rides, dinner parties with historical menus

Realised what I actually wanted to be as a child was Conan the Barbarian, which explains why all current available jobs seem disappointing. I was promised smiting and belts of coins! I was looking forward to fighting wizards! Profound and upsetting lack of swords and sorcery in my day to day 😔
