I miss when romcoms could have a guy like DB Sweeney as a lead.

He was perfect in that role

Don’t do what I did, write in Celtx first!

Love reading about your writing process and sure it will lead somewhere good for you both! Also inspired to find Cutting Edge for a rewatch - loved that film!

Shameless Media (highly recommend this Aussie pop culture podcast) had an interesting take on Wuthering Heights in their "All Sizzle, No Sausage..." episode this past week.

Essentially Margot Robbie, in addition to being an incredible actress, also has a high acumen for business. Her Lucky Chap productions co-produced Wuthering Heights, and Shameless argued that their hasn't been this much buzz around a movie since Barbie-heimer. They acknowledged it's not the same level, but couldn't recall another film that was generating this much talk.

I'm curious if Emerald Fennell's movies will be looked back on in a decade the same way Sofia Coppola's have been - with admiration - even if they weren't beloved by critics at their release.

Yes, same! I recall the negative reviews for Marie Antoinette which is a great film

Congratulations on your screenplay! What an accomplishment. Can't recall if you've discussed Katherine Center's novel The Rom-Commers, but would recommend as a read if it's new to you.

Erin Carlson's avatar

Thank you!! I need to read The Rom-Commers, I love her work

This warms my heart so much! I love seeing the crazy turns that can lead us to new and unexpected things. (Even more of a miracle when I remember that one disastrous tour where we got to the bar and they didn't have a TV or DVD player but didn't tell us, lol.)

Erin Carlson's avatar

OH MY GOD. We had to improvise on the spot!

Jennifer Keishin Armstrong's avatar

Why didn’t we just reenact the Hanks-Chappelle scene? WHY?

Tour highlight!!

Kirthana Ramisetti's avatar

Wait--I just realized the romcom tour introduced me to both of my future collaborators! Really the most fruitful "meet cute" I've ever had :)

Erin Carlson's avatar

It’s truly wild!!
