633 - Reviving a Dormant Project
Manage episode 404801126 series 7855
John welcomes back John Gatins (Flight, Coach Carter) to talk about reviving a dormant project and actually getting it made – like he just did with his new film Little Wing. They look at how films die, what brings them back to life, and go deep into the mechanics of sports movies.
We also follow up on flu tests, the Tiffany problem and pet names before answering listener questions on professionalism, mid-credit scenes, and work ethic.
In our bonus segment for premium members, John Gatins talks abut transitioning into a writing team and reveals his process of negotiating credits.
