This is an interesting interview if you can get past the title. It's not about a starving artist living on the streets turning down $1 million, it's about someone already in the industry realizing that the lucrative deal made him forget what it takes to maintain a long-term career. I'm sure Film Courage wouldn't air an interview where a wealthy screenwriter advises someone with no film credits or industry contacts to turn down a suitcase full of cash because they want to save their currently non-existent career. That would be crazy whack.

@ThisMagicHouse Жыл бұрын

He even says in the interview that selling a spec for serious money when you have no previous credits has been a starting point to the industry for many people. But for him, holding out for the bigger paycheck on the spec derailed his already in-progress career. If he had taken the $250k originally offered, it would have been in line with his previous jobs and would have done more for his career long-term.

The days of million dollar spec scripts being so common may be over, but the days of million dollar spec scripts is still very much alive. While they aren't near as common as it seemed back in the mid to late 90s, they still exist and that's a good sign. Studios are desperate for material that they feel they can turn a quick buck on, OR, can squeeze out into a franchise.

A lot of people fantasizing on a $1m payday clearly didn't listen to the man. 30% of that check went to the agents and managers, and then 40% of what was left was devoured by taxes. He went home with like $300k. It's nice money, it's just not a million dollars

@BigDaddyJinx Жыл бұрын

Try to remember that was "back in the day" though, and these days one needs an agent less and less so you can dump the manager and agent cuts for sure, but you'll still need a good lawyer. That will save you 20% or more so that 30% comes 50% pretty quick. Not to mention that this is simply ONE script. If that one script gets produced, and the movie does well enough to garner attention (and perhaps maybe even an award), that one script becomes many more as your name and talent get legs to run. You're not wrong, but you're missing a lot of context.

@Jimvanhise Жыл бұрын

When you get a large sum of money you have to carefully manage it and not over spend. A writer I will not name sold a TV series to HBO for a lot of money and bought a big house with a big mortgage, but eventually the TV series ended and the money stopped coming in. Had he bought a smaller house with perhaps a lower or no mortgage, he would have been fine. But came the day he couldn't make his mortgage payments any more and he lost the house and became homeless and had to go on line and beg for money. That's what comes of mismanagement.

@BigDaddyJinx Жыл бұрын

That's always fantastic advice to give to anyone who comes into monster money in a hurry. Spend within your means seems to be a philosophy that few remember when it counts. They buy the big homes, and the fancy cars, and the designer this and that...and then have a fire sale later on because now they haven't the funds to keep that lifestyle going. $500K would buy a lot of dreams and set a lot of people up for decades or more. Buy a home for $300K outright. $50K for bills and credit captures that you need to erase. $50K for renovations to your new-to-you property. That leaves you $100K to pay the utilities and property tax for 10+ years. You just bought yourself peace of mind and at least a decade to work on another script (or scripts). Even if you managed to sell one or more for a few million, one still needs to be smart about that newfound wealth. Far too many are of the mindset where they have to spend it now while they still can and forget the future because you'll be old and decrepit anyway so who cares, right? Wrong. It pays to plan ahead and to always spend within your means. There's nothing wrong, illegal, or immoral about spoiling yourself with any of that newfound wealth, but at least be smart about it and how often you spoil yourself, and how much you're spending when you do.

@geoffhoutman1557 10 ай бұрын

In the 90s and the 2000s,hearing how Joe Eszterhas,Amanda Silver,and Shane Black getting paid over $2 to $4 million for their screenplays brought a lot of people to overcrowd the scriptwriting business for the lure of greed for that multi million pay,which is ridiculous since it kills off creativity in bringing in the terrible scriptwriters with barely any talent to oversaturate and sink the business.

@BigDaddyJinx Жыл бұрын

Well when you "sell" a script, you really aren't "selling" it as much as you are optioning it. Most will option your script, so they'll pay you a pittance for a couple years and they have exclusive rights to produce it. There will typically be a re-up clause in there as well which affords the studios to re-up again and again for the same pittance (plus adjustments) every couple years. That might sound good to some, as this is somewhat of a steady income IF they re-up and IF that pittance is something they can work with...but what it really means is that the script you just optioned can't be produced by anyone else and like you said, remains on a shelf somewhere collecting dust. Studio A options your script for $50K against say $500K, and they don't do anything for 2 years. They do re-up in 2 years' time, and now it's $55K against $510K BUT Studio B got wind of that IP and they would love to produce it, but they can't because Studio A owns the rights to it (thanks to that option). You as the writer really have three options. Take the option option, and take your chances that it'll get produced chop chop and not need to get re-upped again and again. Refuse the option option and counter with "You get to option it for those 2 years then it reverts back to me and NO re-up clause will be included.", or you can sell it outright with no options at all and that means that the studio OWNS that IP outright, and they can sit on it OR they themselves can sell it later on to another studio as it is now their IP. That last option is precarious because you will find little traction from studios to buy outright unless they REALLY feel that your script is banging and you'll know because there'll likely be a bidding war for it...not to mention that IF you did find a buyer and let's say they bought it for $1 Million or even $2 Million today...you feel you made off like a dirty bandit BUT in 8 years they sell it to another studio for $7 Million in another bidding war. Spec scripts are a gamble for you and for the studio, so you need to go in knowing that a lot will be played against you as much as play for you. There are risks to both the studio interested and yourself, and both sides need to assume some risk. There are other variables like the "work for hire" trap and so on to also bear in mind, and rights reversion after x-number of years to the estate, but that's for another day.

If I suddenly sold something for a million dollars today, I would try to make it last for as long as possible. I would take an extremely long vacation around the world, visiting every place I’ve ever wanted to visit. Such a trip probably wouldn’t cost more than 20,000 dollars. I would then build a modest house to live in. Around where I live, one could build such a house for 200,000. After that, I would live very modestly and frugally. If I spent around 40,000 thousand dollars a year, I could live off of the million for twenty years. Assuming I never made any other money, I would have to sell my home at 50 years old.
