THE SCREENWRITING BLOG OF THE BLACK LIST

Written Interview: Max Landis (“Chronicle”)

Max Landis did a Reddit Q&A this week re the movie Chronicle which he wrote. Here is how he framed the event:

Judging by the tweets and youtube comments, it seems like people had a ton of questions (and misconceptions), not just about the projects (I’d like to limit the Chronicle-questions on this, if you don’t mind), but also about who I am, in terms of upbringing, personality, and lifestyle.

BWAHAHAHA I got the date wrong in the picture I just took. I’m Redditing FROM THE FUTURE.

Just to address this:

Yes there will may likely be a sequel. No, I’m not going to tell you what happens in it. No, I’m not going to tell you anything about the CENSORED in the cave. No I don’t have any advice on screenwriting; I can only give advice to people I know personally, since screenwriting is an art and art is personal.

ALSO WORTH NOTING: We had our big weekend, and I like Chronicle, and my friends like it, so there’s a strong chance that if you don’t like it, I don’t care. If that’s douchey, then I’m douchey.

Oh, and PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE, one question at a time. And poke around to see if I answered it already, I went crazy on this today because I’m gonna be mega fucking busy the rest of the…life.

My friend Buz Wallick insisted I do this, so here I am.

Thank you all for participating and asking questions. That was a lot of fun. There was a lot of weird aggression, but supposedly according to my internet savvy friends, that’s normal. Now I gotta go back to work. If you liked my reddit, and require more information about food, movies and my cat, you can follow me @uptomyknees. Have a great day, sirs.

Highly entertaining stuff. To read the entire session, go here.
