It got to Obst, and she got it to Ricky. The point is, the script was written. Then when Ricky got involved, he had to have his rewrite, but he was generous enough to include Matt in the whole process. A crazy story.nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838721950041389600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-13919588326629476622009-08-25T17:21:24.259-07:002009-08-25T17:21:24.259-07:00I'm actually surprised he'd think he could...I'm actually surprised he'd think he couldn't get it in front of Ricky because Obst is a bit of a legend in town (albeit not nearly as big as she used to be). Would be interesting to hear how he met her (if that led to his relationship with Oliver or his relationship with Oliver led to Lynda).Carson Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439555051697115476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-46260038628024818552009-08-25T10:45:46.724-07:002009-08-25T10:45:46.724-07:00Great post, bitter script reader,
HUGE Lynda Obs...Great post, bitter script reader,<br /><br /><br />HUGE Lynda Obst fan. Tried several times to get her, or her assistant to read several of my romantic comedies. Got nowhere with that. Lynda has the COOLEST assistant EVER. Her name is Rachel Ababarell (I porobably misspelled her last name, but it's something like that). One of the sweetest girls I've ever met. Met her an Screenwriting Expo pitchfest three years ago. IF you ever get a chance to hangout with Rachel do it. <br /><br />Wasn't really looking forward to this movie, untill watching the trailer you so kindly provided access too. The concept just didn't grab me. But my-o-my what Matthew Robinson did with that concept sounds GREAT. Hope the movie a big hit for him, Lynda, and Lynda's son Olly. And thanks again for the great post.<br /><br />- E.C. Henry from Bonney Lake, WAE.C.
