Ronan still attaches great importance to Martin Scorsese's recommendation, and after opening the envelope and taking out the letter, he took it seriously.

Martin Scorsese only read the script roughly at the time, because the genre did not meet his requirements, and did not leave a copy of the script at all, only a general description.

The script is called "Superstorm".

Just looking at the name is a disaster movie, and so is what Martin Scorsese describes.

The male protagonist is a meteorologist who fears that global warming will trigger a storm that will destroy the entire east coast of the United States, and finally one day, the storm happens, and this storm, before reaching the United States, will pause on the volcano for a while, and the volcano will emit toxic dust into the air when poisoning kills humans, and the male protagonist must stop all this.

Although it is only a simple brief description of the content, it is not difficult for those who are familiar with Hollywood movies to see that this is the most commonly used routine in Hollywood movies.

The catastrophe that destroys the whole world, the salvation full of personal heroism, the quintessential Hollywood theme.

It's a bit cliché, but Hollywood movies have always been like this, and the main line of most commercial movies is actually the same.

However, with only Martin Scorsese's simple description, Ronan could not make a judgment, and Martin Scorsese also made it clear in the letter that he did not find the script interesting, but that he thought that Relativity Entertainment might be interested in this kind of subject.

It is very obvious that Martin Scorsese believes that Relativity Entertainment prefers commercial genre genres.

The title of the script "Super Storm" is already available, and it is not too difficult to find.

Ronan then emailed Connie and asked her to send someone to find the script, and the rest would have to wait until he had read the full version of the script.

After dealing with these preliminarily, Ronan read the letter sent by Tom Cruise again, and there was also a copy of the script that came with the letter.

Brian Singh, who has just finished filming Superman Returns, is a new film project about the World War II genre that tells the story of Operation Valkyrie on July 20, 1944, from its initial plan to its final failure.

The name of the play, Ronan, once paid attention to "Hitler".

Ronan called Tom Cruise directly, and Tom Cruise made it clear that he was in talks with Brian Singer, and that the specifics had not yet been decided, and that he could match the two sides if Relativity Entertainment was interested in Hitler.

"Why are you interested in this character?" Ronan was a little strange.

He had discussed with Tom Cruise and Will Smith that although "Band of Brothers" was a huge success, the response to the war film market in recent years has not been very good, and the World War II theme is no exception.

Tom Cruise gives a very strong reason: "I was attracted to this project and its main character, Stauffenberg, because I looked at Stauffenberg's pictures and saw that he resembled me in person. ”

He asked on the other end of the phone, "You're not interested in this project?"

Ronan said honestly: "I have doubts about the subject of World War II. ”

It seems that this film is a very inconspicuous one of all Tom Cruise's works.

Tom Cruise has been with Ronan for a long time, and has been greatly influenced by Ronan, saying: "Then I'll think about it carefully, it seems that this project is a bit problematic." ”

Ronan didn't say anything more, "That's it, Tom, let's talk another day." ”

This theme looks good, and the assassination of Hitler is also very politically correct, but it is also an indisputable fact that World War II and the war theme have been sluggish in recent years.

Even, this film is easy to cause controversy, because in the mainstream view of the West, Stauffenberg's assassination of Hitler is a typical "dog eats dog".

Churchill, the big British fat man, even publicly preached this opinion more than once.

The script of "Hitler in Action" was put into the ranks of direct denial by Ronan.

The next email comes from Matthew Leonetti, director of photography for Dawn of the Living Dead and Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, and in addition to the letter response, the script is also attached.

Ronan glanced at the name attached to the script and knew that it was the theme of "Zombie Paradise".

Looking at the name, it is not a genre of hatred and bitterness like "Dawn of the Living Dead", it may take the typical zombie comedy route of "Shaun of the Zombie".

The background story of the script is almost the same as that of most zombie movies.

There is a strange virus in the United States, as long as humans are infected with this virus, they will become zombies, and then zombies will become carriers of the virus, and continue to wreak havoc infecting humans who don't know the truth.

The difference is that when the actor appears, it is already the end of the world, and there are not many survivors left in the world.

Of course, this is not "The Walking Dead" that sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the villain in the film is a zombie.

Regarding the setting of the male protagonist, it is also relatively innovative, the male protagonist is not the type of killing the Quartet, but a timid person like a mouse, and summed up a set of effective rules of survival in the last days.

For example, "shoot a shot" to make sure the zombies are dead, and "get in the car and check the back seat" to make sure that they won't be attacked by zombies.

It is this set of rules that allows the male protagonist to survive in a perilous apocalyptic world.

The script sets up four protagonists, in addition to the timid male protagonist, there is also a tough male number two, and a pair of liar sisters.

There is no complicated human struggle, let alone the psychological struggle of ink back and forth, in this uninhabited and zombie-filled world, they can only rely on each other for their lives.

Seeing the back of the script, Ronan even had a feeling of wanting to laugh.

Because the whole script is too non-zombie movie.

There is no separation of life and death, no flesh and blood, zombies and playgrounds are integrated, and the protagonists are like playing an adventure game, which is relaxed and exciting, and it is also very fun.

Coupled with a lot of subtle and natural, and cold jokes that make people laugh until they collapse into urine, some of them can faintly see the shadow of "Shaun Zombie" after the Americanization.

The script is quite interesting.

What's more, the rules of survival of the male protagonist, the setting of the four protagonists, especially the crook sister flower, all evoke Ronan's memory.

He's seen it!

If memory serves, the male lead is the one who played Zuckerberg in "The Social Network", the second male lead is Woody Harrelson, and the female lead is Emma Stone, who did not play Gwen Stacy at the time, which is commonly known as "Sister Stone" on the other side of the Pacific.

Female number two is an inconspicuous little brat, and Ronan doesn't remember.

It seems that a second sequel was filmed later.

Ronan flipped to the end of the script, and there were relevant introductions and contact information of the two screenwriters on it.

There are two screenwriters, Lott Rees and Paul Wernick, newcomers to the film industry and their first attempts at writing screenplays.

But the two have some experience in the entertainment media industry, and previously worked as screenwriters for two years on a CBS reality show without authorship.

In other words, "Zombie Paradise" is actually a new script for newcomers, and there is a high probability that the copyright of the script is still in the hands of the two screenwriters.

Ronan has a general impression that he saw this film around 2010, and he can't remember the specific time.

This script is noted on it, the two screenwriters started writing last year and completed it at the beginning of this year, Ronan guessed that it was very likely to be created after watching "Shaun Zombie", after all, there are some places in the script where you can see the shadow of "Shaun Zombie".

Ronan directly informed Connie and asked her to contact the two screenwriters as soon as possible to ask if the copyright was still there.

The biggest problem with this way of collecting film scripts and themes is copyright.

Interesting scripts that have been read by professionals in the circle may have already been copyrighted.

But it is also worth it to be able to find one project out of dozens of projects.

AFTER RONAN PASSED A FEW MORE SCRIPTS, CONNIE'S ASSISTANT HAD FEEDBACK THAT THE RIGHTS TO "ZOMBIELAND" WERE STILL IN THE HANDS OF LOTT REES AND PAUL WINNICKE, AND THE TWO AGREED TO COME TO THE RELATIVITY BUILDING TOMORROW MORNING TO NEGOTIATE.

Both writers have been pitching scripts in Hollywood lately, and like all new writers who are new to the film industry, they're basically hitting a wall.

But in Ronan's eyes, Lott Rees and Paul Winnick are not pure newcomers, and the experience of working at CBS will also give them some empirical judgment in their engagement with Relativity Entertainment.

Therefore, Ronan will not come forward and ask the copyright department to send someone to receive Lott Rees and Paul Winnick and buy out the copyright of the script directly from them.

As it stands, there won't be a better option for Lott Rees and Paul Winnick.

Ronan was quickly drawn to a project recommended by a TV producer.

The producer, John Wilson, used to work as a production manager on the set of "Prison Break 2", and he is the kind that grew up with Relativity Entertainment.

In the letter, John Wilson strongly recommended Ronan a TV series that was released in the UK just last year, and sent a DVD of all the episodes of the first season of the TV series by mail.

Ronan, of course, didn't have time to watch the disc episode by episode, but after reading the title of the TV series on the disc, he asked Connie to inform John Wilson to come to Relativity Entertainment to meet him tomorrow.

The name of this British TV series is "Shameless", and looking at the content introduction, it is almost a British remake of a popular American drama.

But the British version of this drama is in front of him, and Ronan doesn't have to guess to know that eighty percent of the former American dramas are remakes of the British version.

Ronan is not surprised, after all, American dramas or Hollywood movies remake British works belong to Hollywood's routine operations.

Once on the other side of the Pacific, Ronan watched the first season, and although he didn't finish watching it, he had some impression of that family.

This British drama also reminded him a little bit, it seems that the American drama has been filmed for about eight or nine seasons, right? It seems that the rating has been very high.

If you want to remake, you must first look at the operability of copyright.
