That's my point, that article adds nothing new other than "Burns handed in his script".
QoS was not awesome.
You’re asking the same guy who argued persistently that filming would begin March 4th
Hahaha
You’re nuts; I never claimed the March 4 date (that was Variety @Pierce2Daniel), I said, and maintain, shooting will begin before March is at a close. But you know that already.
Also... Jamaica... five or six weeks before Baz mentioned it last week— but you know that already...
@Ottofuse8 , the guy who wrote this article stated in his ORIGINAL article that Burns was on B25 for 3-4 weeks.
It has since been reported that this was more of a polish, not an “overhaul “.
Nothing in this article should lead anyone to believe he submitted an incomplete draft. Nothing. This was his gig for the last month, as was reported. He submitted his work. Why would anyone assume that one of the top script doctors submitted an incomplete assignment?
I agreed. The script would most likely only needed tweaking a little. I think it has been finished now and filming will begin shortly.
...all the way to the box office and worldwide critical success.
I didn't assume anything. I didn't know if you had actually heard something or not.
Yes, Barbara needs to go. I can't wait to see Star Wars Vs. James Bond: The Return of Hugo Drax, a Netflix production in cooperation with Disney!
Every delay it takes to avoid turning James Bond into a crappy and cheap production for Netflix or Amazon far from what he has always been. Like I said, there are far worse things than a delay - and there's not even another delay confirmed, and no-one is saying the script is actually unfinished! Again, that article is 98% air and "Scott Z. Burns handed over his draft".
First of all, a script doctor diagnoses what is wrong with a script (and what's not broken), just like a proper doctor.
Then, they makes fixes. They change the structure, reorder scenes, add or remove character development, etc.
But they don't leave the "patient" totally cured. They focus on the main issues, instead of changing every other line. They leave with notes for the other writers, a "medical prescription" if you want. Because they won't stay forever and work on the script for months, like a regular screenwriter, when they act as script doctors. Their involvement in that capacity is more surgery-like. Fix the bigger problems, then give instructions to others for full "recovery".
Discipline, 007 fans. Discipline.
Just sayin’...
And your point is exactly?
