Comment on Where to Mine Ideas for Your Contained Thriller by Hank

Great point, Coach.

I think it’s only natural too, as more people move towards forming their all smaller scale production companies. Not to mention the Buried Model where you can shoot a movie for $3 million and it makes $30 million. It’s bigger margins on a smaller scale.

Enjoyed those Twilight ZONE episodes, right? Leaving the “zone” out might lead people to wonder about your viewing choices, lol.

I enjoyed this post. Love those Twilight episodes…
I have to guess that most HORROR flicks get away with using ONE or LIMITED locations, so why not other genres? I read (at other sites) many production companies “seeking” scripts; many of these ask for limited shooting locations.
It’s the wave of the future….

A fair point, but I’d still argue it’s a bit weak for his whole “outcast” status after, or at least give us some sort of clues from other characters that his show boating (or show-mobiling in this case) was a big “no no.”

On the responsibility for the first lady thing, my thought was that he was there to protect them, but he got carried away in the race and went way ahead of them instead of focusing on their safety. Therefore when she was WAY back there and fell through, it was in a way his fault for not being there.

I just wanted to throw my thoughts in. Thanks for the great reveiw!

That’s kind of funny, how Disney can get the rights to everything BUT the ruby slippers.

(To be fair, they’re in the Great Movie Ride at the Disney Studios park at Walt Disney World.)

I believe they were not legally able to use the ruby slippers:

Nice review, Hank!

I’ve watched the movie two weeks ago and it works well even for a non American audience like me. My wife and kids also liked the movie, but without consider it good enough for winning the Oscar.

I think that the “too many characters” issue just vanished in the movie. I think because each character is phisically totaly different from the others (I believe that my SD script will have the same problem solved the same way).
