Biggest studio sins!
Hi all,
Wondering what you think are the worst decisions made by studios? For me, it's that Deadwood 4.... "couldn't find the funding". Really??? That same year, an example of what HBO green-lit: Tell Me You Love Me Tell Me You Love Me revolves around three couples, Jamie and Hugo (Borth and Kirby), Katie and David (Walker and DeKay) and Carolyn and Palek (Walger and Scott), each with their own problems concerning intimacy in their relationships. They seek the help of therapist May Foster, who herself has relationship issues with her partner Arthur (Selby).

Taking a book series like the Hunger Games or Twilight and stretching three books into four movies.
The current plan is to make the Hobbit into a trilogy. This is the only Tolkien I've read all the way through. I like the quick pace of the book.

Re: Biggest studio sins!
Battlefield Earth, what the hell were they thinking. Arguably one of the worst movies ever.
And making remakes like The Three Stooges, seriously?

| Screenwriting Goldmine Method |
The "Screenwriting Goldmine Guide to Writing a Screenplay" is a simple to use, utterly comprehensive, step by step method for going from the horrors of a blank page all the way through to a highly readable - and very commercial - first draft. It's based on my seventeen years as a professional screenwriter/script editor, and it's a direct transcription of the method I use to write my own screenplays. Simply put, it works! (Over 2,000 copies sold to date!) Everyday low price- find out more here.

Re: Biggest studio sins!
I know I'm swimming against the tide here, but on the subject of remakes, I have to confess a fondness for Snyder's Dawn of the Dead, and an apathy for Romero's dull original.
