episode 8: Writing Avatar, Apes Rebel + Titanic Door Solutions!
[transcript]

You are asked to co-write the next Avatar, but that movie needs to make over 2 billion dollars to break even – do you say yes? Really? No really?

The last Avatar was 12 years ago… and movies, the movie business and movie-audiences have changed drastically since then. Would Avatar: The Way Water float like Rose… or sink like Jack?

Rick Jaffa who along with his wife, Amanda Silver has penned The Planet of the Apes films, Jurassic World, Mulan – to name just a few - discusses James Cameron’s brilliance, risk taking and legendary temper.

ALSO:

James Cameron sent Rick & Amanda so much information that Rick feared for his marriage.
The mechanics of writing a movie that smashes box office records all over the world, from China, to Mongolia, to Slovakia and EVEN in war-torn Ukraine.

The behind-the-scenes story of how Rick and Amanda defied Hollywood and made a CGI chimp the star of their $100,000,000 blockbuster.
Jason & Peter also enter the Titanic floating door debate and offer some brilliant solutions.
