00:00e quindi ho scelto a scrivere Donnie Darko
00:03e è stato il mio primo script
00:05e ho scelto per 23 anni per scrivere il script
00:09e sono 23 anni in the waiting
00:11e i floodgates ho scelto, e ho scelto.
00:14Penso che è stato un brano allo di Richard's influenzare
00:19di crescita, da film ricerci
00:21a autorsi come Philip K. Dick e Richard Matheson
00:24e la grande, tipo, twilight zone era di scrittura
00:29e si mixi that in con la nostalgia di crescita in gli 80's
00:33e quello che era stato politico all'inizio
00:36I mean, a lot of the characters e experiences in the movie
00:40or at least, you know, some of the prototypes in the movie
00:42Richard experienced himself
00:43I mean, he had a grandma death
00:46who they called grandma death in his neighborhood growing up
00:49who would walk back and forth to her mailbox
00:51so he was drawing from his own experiences as a kid
00:54who had a wild imagination
00:56and then drawing upon all of the science fiction that he loved growing up
01:01it was one of Richard's first scripts
01:03and I tend to think that a first screenplay is like a first album
01:07you know, a screenwriter or the musicians in this case
01:11have lots of time to think about what's going to go into the screenplay
01:14so there's something about it that's usually special
01:17and I think Donnie Darko was a very special screenplay
01:20we spent a lot of time, not that much, two or three months
01:22kind of developing it because it was
01:25I think it was about 160 some odd pages when he first sent it to me
01:28and we worked on it a little bit
01:30and through my contacts of working at New Line for a couple years
01:33at that point, I was able to get it into the agencies
01:36to start getting some reads
01:39and it really just caught fire then
01:41everyone read it
01:44everyone had a response to it
01:46everyone wanted to meet me
01:48all around me are familiar faces
01:52worn out places
01:55worn out faces
