The Dialogue Series: Sheldon Turner
$13.99
Sheldon Turner is the prototype for the smart, brash, ambitious young screenwriter – only he’s also got a law degree from NYU and has had his fiction published in the New Yorker. Turner recently broke through with his script for the 2005 remake of THE LONGEST YARD, starring Chris Rock and Adam Sandler, and he has half a dozen other scripts in development. He’s got insane discipline, writes longhand, and boycotts email. He figured out how to work the system, and he’s got more witty axioms for how to play the Hollywood game than a Tropicana craps dealer at 3 am. But you’ll just have to hear Turner talk to get it – what being the biggest guy in the room can do for you, how to read an audience, what to say in pitch meetings, and why you should let everyone know that you think LOST IN TRANSLATION sucks.
