    John Campea is uneducated on this topic. She’s a very successful playwright. A good writer is a good writer regardless of the template. Gone Girl was written by the author of the book despite her never writing a film before. Don’t know if she’s good or not but it’s wrong to say she’s never written anything before.

      And the screenplay for the Amazon Prime adaptation of Panic was also written by the author of the book, Lauren Oliver, the reviews weren't great, and it didn't get renewed for a seconds season.
      There will always be exceptions, but being a great writer in one medium doesn't always mean that writer will be just as good in other formats. That's because each medium has different demands and styles, and not every writer is suited to switching between them.
      It's the same with acting or directing, for example. A great theatre actor doesn't always do well on film or TV, and vice versa. Just as a talented TV director isn't necessarily able to make the move to the big screen.

    • @rougarabid
      @rougarabid 10 місяців тому +1

      @@orangeviktor Your example is horrible. Panic is a book that had a VERY mixed reception from the start. It’s not a beloved book known for great writing. It’s derived young adult schlock. You have to actually be a good writer in one medium for it to translate and yes it usually translates pretty damn well. Playwrights especially translate pretty seamlessly to the screen. Even if what you’re saying was true, it doesn’t make my point wrong. Campea said she’s not a writer and has done nothing but a short film. This is wrong. She’s a successful playwright that is actually pretty well respected. For him to not even mention that means he didn’t know. In other words, he was uneducated on the topic. The argument you’re making for him is one he himself didn’t make.

      @orangeviktor 10 місяців тому

      @@rougarabid I disagree completely. Writing for one medium, even being a great writer in that form, doesn't automatically make you a great writer in others. Of course, there will always be exceptions, but with respect, I think you're playing down the major differences in writing for the stage and the screen, as well as other forms. For example, John Ridley is an award winning screen writer, but his comic book work hasn't been as well received.
      John's point is that Ana Nogueira's CV is quite light for someone taking on a major comic book property, one that will likely have a large budget, with all the pressure that brings, especially after the relative underperformance of the DCEU.
      Could John be wrong? Of course. As a CBM fan, I'm sure John himself hopes he will be. As a fan of these films (and their source material) I hope he's proven wrong as well. However, this choice is a gamble, and one that WB/DC, considering their struggles, might regret making.

He didn’t mention she was a playwright and didn’t mention at all what you’re saying about being untested in a particular field of writing. You are saying this not him. He spoke without properly looking into what her writing background was. If this was his point than this would be a viable argument I could either agree or disagree with. It wasn’t. His argument, the only one he gave, was that she has no writing experience which isn’t true. That’s my point.

      @@rougarabid John never says that Ana Nogueira has no writing experience. He references her short film experience in the video, for example from 1:49 - 1:56. What John is clearly implying is that it's unusual to choose such an inexperienced writer to write the script for a big comic book blockbuster, which will have a lot of expectations riding on it. He's not saying that Nogueira is a bad writer. John even says that Gunn must have faith in her script. He's just concerned that Nogueira has very little experience in writing for screen (which is a factual statement, not a comment on her skill as a writer), and for WB/DC, which is staking a lot on this rebooted DC cinematic universe, that's a big risk to take.

    Not too worried about, “New” writers in an industry that needs to break their patterns.
    Nobody is committed to making the script until they… read it.
    Good Will Hunting (Oscar winner)
    True Romance
    Sling Blade (Oscar winner)
    Movies, good movies are written by, “New” writers.
    I put new in quotes because most writers have a TON of scripts that aren’t published, weren’t picked up. Writers don’t start their writing with their first credit. You kinda cover this but it goes deeper. “New” writers have often written books, plays, stories… etc.
    Unproduced film scripts are RARELY published.
    Finally, actors see more scripts than almost anyone in any other career. Perhaps they see more scripts than many scriptwriters. Career actors often have an easier time switching to scriptwriting than most.
    No clue if this is a good script… or if she should write it… but I trust folks will consider what she put on the page before investing millions to produce her script.
    James Gun is Troma trained. I HOPE he brings in new faces and writers, like Lloyd Kauffman did with HIM.
    Thanks for the upload.

    Jesus he really just picked that topic to fill time. Writing is not directing. And you don’t need to shoot a script that’s not good. She probably wrote a great script and Gunn said: “Yeah, let’s shoot that.” Nothing wrong with that. The difference between a writer and almost any other craft is that writers actually sometimes just fall out of the sky and are good at what they do without any training or actual experience. That’s something that practically never happens with other filmmaking or creative disciplines.

    Sorry but Campea's mentality here sounds like typical Hollywood fallacy of fame over content. I agree that in general, new people should start small (I'd certainly want to). But if someone shows you their work and it's really good - and you reject it purely on the basis of them not being famous enough? That's pretty stupid. It reminds me of Iger & Kennedy rejecting Colin Trevorrow's Episode 9 script and dragging back JJ cause he's more famous and has Force Awakens on his record. Nevermind that Trevorrow's ideas were way more reasonable, creative, and satisfying while JJ's ideas were way more careless. Chris Terrio is another one. JJ recruited him, saying, "He's a writer I've admired for a long time." Terrio won an oscar for Argo. But writing a good adaptation of a grounded Earth true story requires a completely different skill set than constructing the plot of a fantasy movie in an existing universe from scratch. Chris Terrio's fame couldn't save Rise of Skywalker because fame is not what makes movies good. Skill is. And fantasy franchises require different skills than other movies.
    This Hollywood mentality of fame over content is detrimental when at the end of the day, content is what makes or breaks your movie. No one is born famous. Most famous people were once nobodies who broke the mold with awesome content.
    Then again, James Gunn also thought the Flash was good. Honestly, I'm more concerned about the fact that Gunn is the judge here, than I am about that lady's lack of official credits.

    Your comparison to Kinberg and x men doesn’t entirely work. Directing requires a ton of resources and time. If you’ve never directed before it would be exorbitantly difficult to give them a taste of what they might get. The only thing similar is that cgi test footage for Deadpool as a proof of concept, and even that requires a ton of time and resources. Writing on the other hand only requires a laptop, some WiFi, and however long you need. The script is the script. And it can be judged fairly well and will be close to the final product if no edits are needed. Entirely different from directing. Given gunns successful history writing all of guardians, the holiday special, TSS, peacemaker, and multiple other projects. I’m willing to assume he can discern if a script is to his liking and if it fits with what he wants. If this were the director I’d be inclined to agree, but with this I genuinely see no issue. Gunn was plucked from obscurity, I’m sure he’s happy enough to do the same for other up and comers if he believes they have the talent. Heck, in the article for this it mentions she was given an overall writing deal with DC. She clearly had to have wowed them. Not to mention he has literally no reason to make a decision like this lightly. If he wanted to he could pick a really established writer. I doubt he made this decision willy nilly. I’ll rest easy on this choice, even though I can understand the concern. Just seems unfounded all things considered

    Quentin Tarantino started off selling his scripts like True Romance and Natural Born Killers, Kevin Smith first script was on his budget, James Gunn sold scripts for Scooby-Doo and Dawn of the Dead before he was given a chance with Slither and even Mario Puzo never even wrote a screenplay but wrote the book for The Godfather as a reference.

    To b the devils advocate, I can understand Gun’s decision. Nowadays, being associated with a super hero movie can b a career death sentence. For a writer, director, actor, producer etc. someone who has a good name or a veteran would not take that risk. The only two people who r willing to risk it all is the up and coming, nobody or the writer who’s about to retire n doesn’t care n wants a big retirement check

    My thoughts is that she may have come up with a great story conceptually. She may be hired to give the first full draft a go. We know these scripts (except recent Marvel stuff) goes through multiple iterations. It may get treatments by more experienced movie writers. Great ideas can come from anywhere or anyone. But it's true, to turn that into a great movie script takes skill and experience. Personally I'm not overly concerned just because Supergirl is not a character I care too much for. If it were Batman or Superman then I'd be more than a little concerned at this news.

      What virtue signaling? I guarantee you no one at Warner brothers is strong arming him into hiring an unknown. I’m sure if it was their choice they’d try to find somebody super marketable. Gunn making a choice like this, if anything, is proof of him going for substance over run of the mill marketability. On top of that, most people don’t even pay attention to who writes what project. If he wanted to he could write it himself or hire basically anybody he chooses. He presumably liked the script, and giving his writing history with a bunch of movies and some tv, I’m willing to bet he is a decent enough judge.

    I don't think it's bringing a knife to a gunfight - I think it's more like Michael Corleone on the steps of the hospital with the baker (I think it was) who have their hands in their pockets, and we (the audience) are the guys pulling up, having to go 'do they have nothing, or something'? Let me be clear - I have no faith in James Gunn at this time, I was in no way a fan of his Suicide Squad movie, and his other films for me have been at best hit or miss. That said - every writer starts somewhere, and well - this one doesn't have baggage attached from any bad films or super high expectations from good ones. Not like I'm not concerned - I'm not that naive, but less though than if they hired say Rian Johnson (no faith) but more than if they hired Zack Snyder, and to be clear - I hated most of the Snyderverse, I will rip in to MoS, BvS, and prefer the Whedon cut of JL cause it's mercifully short and fixes some truly dumb decisions Snyder made but is still terrible, however - I think he could do a good Supergirl movie cause most of what he did with Superman and how he acted and all in some cases, is actually more in line with certain versions of Supergirl that I actually like, especially playing against a properly done Superman. Though I'd still want someone over Snyder to reign him in.
    My concern however, looking up a couple quick things about the story that apparently inspired this film, is that once again - were jumping in to the deep end way too fast. The synopsis's I found read like something that is not the first movie you make with the character, or really, characters if you include Krypto and all, maybe second, much better as third+. Like, establish her as Supergirl, give the basics of here back story and show some of the effect it's taken on her losing her family, friends, culture, etc, but save something that is not only a bit more of a 'what is my purpose now while living in my cousins shadow story, that not only goes deeper in to some of what she's dealing with but more importantly, seems to be written not as a Supergirl story, but another characters story featuring Supergirl for a later film. I feel like their about to make the same mistake they basically made with the Snyderverse jumping in to something well established from the start, instead of building from the ground up.

A writer having more credits to their name isn't always a good thing. While it concerns me that James Gunn has chosen to base his Supergirl movie on Tom King's story, I do trust James and I'm hoping that James and Ana can improve King's story. The story itself isn't necessarily bad. King's execution is bad.

I’m not saying I think that a Supergirl movie can’t be good, it totally can be, but much like with characters like Robin or Miles Morales they seem like characters you’d wanna introduce *AFTER* the og character has been around for a good amount of time, that’s why I keep saying that the MCU shouldn’t introduce Miles Morales yet, because Tom Holland’s Peter Parker is still relatively young, as of right now he’s still a high school student, and for Miles Morales to work you need Peter Parker to be a seasoned adult, and with Supergirl I think that we need to have at least 5 or 6 years with David Corenswet’s Superman before bringing in a character like Supergirl, same goes for Robin in the DCU’s Batman franchise, and so while I think it could work as a movie I just feel like they’re looking at doing Supergirl a little too early
