Hot tip from a guy who spent years as a Hollywood literary agent trying to get people's scripts funded.
You know what sucks about science fiction? How much it costs to look good. The space battles, the different worlds, the alien species, the costumes, the makeup, the extras who all need makeup, the CGI. Generally speaking, the more money it's going to cost to get your script made, the harder it is to sell. Expensive scripts that are fucking incredible get tossed around Hollywood for years, simply because everyone fears it bombing like that Valarian movie, which cost $220 million to make and couldn't even get that back.
This is from the same "professional" that once posted what actors he'd like, and said "I'd settle for Jason Momoa". I'm really starting to get the whole "these civilians know nothing" mindset that Kurt Metzger types have because this delusional sense of "I'm gonna walk right into Paramount and start barking orders" just sickens me.
And if any of you fucks are creative writing types living in the midwest wanting to chase your Hollywood dreams: write a horror movie. Minimal locations (have 90% of your movie take place in one location, it gives money people a stiff erection), spooky monster or killer or whatever, throw in some diversity, write and rewrite to polish. Register it with the WGA. Then, if it's any good, enter it in some festivals, google "horror screenplay contest", try to generate buzz with the script.
That's how an outsider gets their foot in the door. Not a majestic 3-hour space opera where your main character is Firstname Lastname.
It certainly doesn't hurt, but you have to be a jew from a connected family.
If your daddy is a major executive at wherever, and you received a BMW for your 16th birthday, yay! People will help you to get close to your parents.
If your daddy runs a bagel shop in Syosset and your mom teaches 7th grade English, fuck off. Nobody's going out of their way to help Adam Silverstein just because you had a Bar Mitzvah.
I mean, if it was easy as just being Jewish = success, I could turn Jewish. Go to temple, Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech Ha'Olam, then rise my way up. Doesn't matter, my parents can't do shit for you.
So a lazy eyed subreddit mod decides to push le resistance by fighting the patriarchy by banning people to the glory of the sub. He falls in love with a woman who is quirky and believes she's aboard a ship in the Navy.
A navy ship is a single location, but it sounds pretty pricey anyway. Don't forget the love scene with all the buttfucker in the back seat of an IROC-Z. Oops, second location. Whoever plays Lady Di is going to need a lot of prosthetic make-up, too. But still, sounds like a fucking blockbuster. Good luck
You incel children will stop at nothing to try to derail my track to greatness. Bad news, ducklings:. Tiny creatures like you don't fare well against locomotives. Ta ta.

By "screenplay" he means "my asshole"

They wouldn't treat you as one, they can smell a convert a mile away.

If my parents had money, they wouldn't care. Like Madonna or Michael Jackson's kids adopting "kabbalah" or whatever.

This is pretty insightful. Thank you, child

Here's my pitch.
So a lazy eyed subreddit mod decides to push le resistance by fighting the patriarchy by banning people to the glory of the sub. He falls in love with a woman who is quirky and believes she's aboard a ship in the Navy.
I'm still working on it.

I enjoyed that Valerian movie's CGI. The story was a mess but I got a thing for that ugly girl. I think she's purdy.
