'Always Sunny's Glenn Howerton Is Soliciting Scripts on Twitter

by | March 6th, 2013

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star/co-creator Glenn Howerton fired off a tweet today asking fledgling writers to send him scripts. Here's the tweet:

Got a great feature length screenplay? Send to IASIP 10201 W PICO BLVD BUILDING 41 SUITE 300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90064-2651

While it seems like most established TV and movie writers are constantly avoiding reading bad scripts from desperate struggling writers, Howerton is welcoming it and hoping that he finds a diamond in the rough.

Dan Harmon Is Writing a Pilot for CBS Too

Like with Fox, the CBS script will be for multi-camera. Deadline is also reporting that he is currently at Just For Laughs looking for a comedian to possibly base a show around because he prefers to write with talent in mind.

by | July 26th, 2012

Oh, the magic and jokes and jokes about magic that must be within this .pdf! What's going to happen!?!?! Ron Howard, who tweeted this image (see it blown up below), said the script was, "Very very funny :-)" and had "Lots of lines for the narrator!" Ok, That's something! Also, it seems like the first episode will be entitled "Michael". That's pretty cool. Maybe to get more info we should camp outside the listed Culver City office or call the given phone number. "Hello. Is Mitch there? This is not a Arrested Development fan who wants to just hear his voice and try to extrapolate spoilers from its [...]

Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant Tell You How to Make a Billion $$$ Movie

by | August 3rd, 2012

"Ben [Garant] came up with a pretty simple way to express [the basic movie formula]: You take a guy and put him up in a tree, then you throw rocks at him, and then you get him down from the tree. Die Hard, The Matrix, Casablanca: all of these movies have heroes pulled into a situation against their will, who then end up winning. That’s structure. It can be liberating, though, because following structure gives you less to have to worry about." - Thomas Lennon on how to write a big successful Hollywood movie. Part of six simple tips to write the next Night At The Museum 4: Night At [...]
