Did You Write That Spec Script? Writers Detail How They Stayed Creative During WGA Strike

Joe Otterson TV Reporter As writers hit the picket lines during the 146-day WGA strike, they were absolutely barred from writing anything for the Hollywood studios and streamers.

But there was no reason they couldn’t write their own scripts on spec. Now, as Hollywood’s writers return to work, those TV pilot and movie scripts written over the course of the strike could make their way to market.

There were plenty of jokes on social media about writers taking advantage of the strike to tackle passion projects that had long been put off due to other obligations.

So, with the strike over, how many actually did it? Variety spoke with several WGA members to see what they worked on during their months on strike and what they did to stay creative.

For many Brits, the clocks going back is an annual event that is welcomed with open arms, purely due to the fact that it provides people with an extra hour of sleep. Or, if you're a bit of a party animal, an extra 60 minutes of dance floor time. However, not everyone adjusts to the changing of the clocks in the same way, with some needing to re-regulate their sleeping patterns to ensure there are no major shocks to the system.This Sunday - 29 October - the clocks will be going back by one hour.

‘The Origin of Evil’ Review: An Enticing French Drama of Family Wealth, Featuring a New-Style Femme Fatale

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic A femme fatale is in the business of fooling people, though we’ve seen enough of these characters to be overly familiar with their tricks. Maybe that’s why, in 2023, the most effective femme fatale is one who can fool the audience. Take Stéphane (Laure Calamy), the desperate young woman at the center of the delectable French family thriller “The Origin of Evil.” The film’s rather abstract title could refer to several things, but the most accurate is probably the cliché that first leaps to mind: Money is the root of all evil.

‘Freud’s Last Session’ Review: Anthony Hopkins And Matthew Goode Deliver Sterling Performances In Intelligent And Heady Drama – AFI Film Fest

On the heels of the wonderful 2019 The Two Popes, in which Anthony Hopkins starred as Pope Benedict XVI in an imagined conversation with Jonathan Pryce’s future Pope Francis, Hopkins is once again involved in the same kind of cinematic historical fictional meeting as founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, who is engaged in a private debate with The Chronicles of Narnia author and theologian C.S. Lewis (played by Matthew Goode) on the existence of God. As with The Two Popes, there is no proof whatsoever that any meeting ever took place, but it clearly provides lots of material to wrap your head around. That is exactly what Mark St. Germain did in creating his 2009 play Freud’s Last Session, which was built on the 1967 Harvard lectures of Dr. Armond M. Nicholi Jr in his presentation “The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life.”

Andy Cohen reflects on ‘creepy’ Britney Spears interview during conservatorship: She was ‘captive’

“Andy Cohen Live,” on Wednesday, Cohen, 55, reminisced about meeting with Spears around the time of her “Glory” album release in 2016.He claimed his industry friends warned him prior to meeting about a “woman who is at Britney’s side at all times, and she basically tells her what to do and where to go and it’s really creepy.'”“And I get there and this woman was there and it was like Britney was her captive,” Cohen revealed. The “Watch What Happens Live” host continued, “Now, Britney mentions her by name in the book a lot and how much she hated her and I’m not going to mention her name ’cause I don’t want to get sued, but it was really creepy.”“[The woman was] Whispering in her ear before everything and we’re sitting up there on stage with me and Britney and will.i.am and she comes up and says something in her ear and Britney’s like, ‘Mhm mhm.'”Cohen also described a bizarre moment during the interaction when Spears’ team brought in a birthday cake for the pop icon even though she reminded them that her birthday happened a month ago.

He’s an autonomous limb with a mind of his own, but no body or speaking voice — just five fingers and a palm.But, before the 1991 movie based on Charles Addams’ New Yorker cartoons, poor Thing was trapped in an enclosure and unable to leave. Allowing him to finally escape on the big screen was a lightbulb moment for the film’s director Barry Sonnenfeld.“One of the first things I wanted to do was to get Thing out of the box,” Sonnenfeld, 70, told The Post of his feature directing debut.And get him out, he did.
