On Shawshank , certainly the commentary track is something people have been asking for. Actually, I think it would be great to do it as a group effort. What s the difference between what s on the page and what s on the screen and more to the point, why. I wrote a fairly involved addendum to the actual screenplay that describes scene by scene why stuff changed. It was great to look back and examine the experience at your leisure.
Commercials are really the devil s work.
I hate em. Much of Frank s theater going is at Director or Writer s guild screenings. You have a better chance for a decent audience. You know that you re going to get a technically well projected film. You know people aren t going to be talking, chatting, throwing popcorn throughout the thing.
