How does Hollywood choose what stories get told on-screen? Too often, it's groupthink informed by a narrow set of ideas about what sells at the box office. As a producer, Franklin Leonard saw too many great screenplays never get made because they didn't fit the mold. So he started the Black List, an anonymous email that shared his favorite screenplays and asked: Why aren't we making these movies? Learn the origin story of some of your favorite films with this fascinating insider view of the movie business.

Books: _I have the best original stories that you could have ever enjoy to read and/or listen._
Movies: *hold my whiskey*
Except movies are most of the time based on a written story.
+Mr. Metalhorse Now video game stories….those can be pretty original while taking inspiration from other great stories.
+InMaTeofDeath I immediately thought of To The Moon ;-;

“I changed the way movies are made” I had to google him only to found out who he was, and after found it out… yeah, I hardly believe this guys has affected anything other than some people reading only about a movie that was never made and go “oh, that would have being interesting”.
Too much leftist social engineering propaganda in movies and shows these days, it’s a total turn off to people with the brain frequency level to detect it.

*+Jack Jones* I think it entirely depends on the way the movie/show is made. If the story is good, it looks good, the acting is good, it’s realistic…then overly ‘partisan’ leanings don’t bother me too much.

How much is getting paid from the movie industry?
The vast majority of the “good” movies of today and still just terrible.
Simply because movies today have to pass a PC filter and include way too many people simply because of skin color, race, gender, sexuality, and all kinds of factors that simply make the movie worse, as the person that fits the role best is not cast for that role and movies get produced that only check some boxes, instead of providing crucial story or consistency.
In this time way more money is spend on movies and the actual quality of outcome is flat out worse.
Yawn
He went to Harvard though so he must be quite smart

Make scripts open source on the internet and have the world vote. simple.
Is there any proof? Could be just a guy taking the whole credit for a huge success in movie industry.
In summary, conventional wisdom is not always good
