Write something people will see, love, and rant to their friends about.<br />I'd never write a thriller just 'cos they're 'in'.<br />But I'd leave drama to TV, because that seems to be the forum best handling it now.<br /><br />And I wouldn't say this list is full of kids movies. They're 'family films'. Blockbusters - i.e. they bust the blocks of demographics, attracting all ages.<br />I saw an animated feature script sold on spec recently. Hopefully that writer has opened the gate for the rest of us who'd like to get our feature animations looked at by the normally closed animation leaders. Looking at some of the CG films to come out in the last 5 years, they really need some new thinkers.ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04106967302785862380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-38801437245568459032011-01-09T06:01:55.834-08:002011-01-09T06:01:55.834-08:003D is definitely pushing sales numbers, but I'...3D is definitely pushing sales numbers, but I'm not sure I'd say that you wnt to write something that looks good in 3D. I think I count maybe, and I'm being generous, two films that were specifically designed to be seen in 3D of the Top 20 films.<br /><br />The remaining Top 20 would have been up there without 3D being added to the finished product.<br /><br />I want to believe that 3D is just a way for Hollywood Studios to generate income. I don't know if they see it as a way to tell a story.Carlos Matthews Hernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844149114686947104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-14169039948313018792011-01-06T13:56:56.967-08:002011-01-06T13:56:56.967-08:00As much as I hate to say it, I think the real less...As much as I hate to say it, I think the real lesson to learn is to write something that will look good in 3D.theBeatnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280029555348344792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-90134516250669527322011-01-06T12:08:58.819-08:002011-01-06T12:08:58.819-08:00Maybe its that kid movies are made well.

The adult films were predictable and often full of sensationalism simply for shock value. The kid movies seem to lose a lot of the pandering. Just my thoughts. <br /><br />Also, good thing most of my scripts are action/thrillers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-14879866144749725292011-01-06T04:06:33.233-08:002011-01-06T04:06:33.233-08:00I also noticed fifteen of the twenty are aimed at ...I also noticed fifteen of the twenty are aimed at a younger audience, with maybe two or three for tweens and teens.<br /><br />Is it me, or are more movies being made for kids?J.L.
