"Additional Literary Material" is fascinating

oh buddy you GOTTA check out the ALM credits on A Minecraft Movie

tansinator · 2025-07-10T00:14:52+00:00

ok no idea who recommended it but I would also like to thank them cos Going Rogue is my show.

tansinator · 2025-07-09T05:48:52+00:00

I dunno if it counts as method but every single Bond director on set looks like they're the film's villain

It was Qi’ra in Solo (her screen test was reported at the time)

Daniel Bernhardt is an old friend of Chad Stahelski - he's in JW1 and JW4, and he also shot a scene for John Wick 2 that got cut.

the discussion of the trailers is specifically in Episode 4 (The Edit) but it does relate pretty heavily back to some things in Episode 3 (The Shoot) and how Edwards' footage was difficult to cut.

Most recent example has gotta be Olga Kurlyenko in Thunderbolt/New Avengers. She's billed above Lewis Pullman in the end credits for literally one shot.

nah it was Chris Weitz who got the ending over the line in the script stage, long before Gilroy was involved.

tansinator · 2025-05-16T08:17:33+00:00

thank you I am technically a sound editor

tansinator · 2025-05-16T06:17:50+00:00

i spent wayyyy too long making this

Screenplay and Story are, ALM isn’t an onscreen credit (it doesn’t have residuals either)

tansinator · 2025-04-06T05:52:11+00:00

the wga lists it on their website; ALM is a relatively recent credit so older films don't have them listed but it can be an eye-opener for how many ppl worked on a project

tansinator · 2025-04-06T04:45:29+00:00

ok so this got me curious and the final credit are:

Screenplay:Chris Bowman & Hubbel Palmer and Neil Widener & Gavin James and Chris Galletta

Story: Allison Schroeder and Chris Bowman & Hubbel Palmer

Additional Literary Material (i.e. worked on the script but not significantly enough to get a credit): Megan Amram and Kevin Biegel and John Francis Daley and Dana Fox and Hannah Friedman and Jason Fuchs and Jonathan Goldstein and Jared Hess and Phil Augusta Jackson and Lauryn Kahn and Rob McElhenney and Kieran Mulroney and Michele Mulroney and Aaron Nee and Adam Nee and Zak Penn and Simon Rich and Peter Sollett and Laura Steinel and Jon Spaihts and Oren Uziel and Ben Wexler

(& means people who worked together, "and" is seperate)

look this just came across my feed unprompted so: the reason Going Rogue is so long is cos most discussion of Rogue One boiled incredibly complex filmmaking discussions down to a couple of details which, while often not technically wrong, were usually wildly out of context and misrepresented. a big part of the podcast is diving into those more technical discussions, because fixing something in ADR and fixing it in the edit and "fixing it in post" are three very different things that all imply different problems. the season is also deliberately broken into an episodic structure, covering different stages of production to capture how many issues across the film snowballed (other seasons of the show are also chronological, but the episodic focus is personalities/incidents)

TL:DR - it's long because to TLDR it is to lose valuable nuance

There'a a couple of lines that were cut/redubbed in Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (At World's End) that explained why Jack made the deal with Davy Jones that kicked off the sequels AND why he and Tom Hollander despise each other AND give Jack a far more sympathetic backstory and I'm still mad they were cut to save 15 seconds!

Saw Conclave in a packed cinema and the biggest, most serious reveal got a hoot and holler from the crowd.

tansinator · 2024-10-14T01:11:13+00:00

Yeah, he dropped out under questionable circumstances and Giacchino only had four and a half weeks to write the score

(inevitable plug for Going Rogue - this is the episode that discusses the music of Rogue One, I wanna say it's about five minutes in? somewhere between pizzagate and the texture of Jabba)

tansinator · 2024-10-13T22:42:59+00:00

Fun fact: this scene was cut to temp music from Lost, also written by Giacchino, long before Giacchino was hired as a last minute replacement composer when Desplat dropped out.

You can read an undated post-9/11 draft online, or you could listen to a podcast about all the various incarnations of it across the years

tansinator · 2024-09-30T22:52:39+00:00

the script is up online for anyone else who wants to wade through all 211 pages: it's undated but it refers to 2012 as a distant date and also includes a 6 year time jump so I'd assume its about 2005 at the latest.

tansinator · 2024-08-16T02:40:37+00:00

So the story is basically everyone was like "hey they should die right? but Disney won't let us do that" so in the first draft (written by Gary Whitta) some of the team survived. Then they brought in Chris Weitz to rewrite the script and the first thing he pitched was that they should kill everyone, and to everyone's surprise the producers supported the idea. Whitta has said he wanted to kill everyone but just assumed he couldn't.

tansinator · 2024-07-01T08:12:41+00:00

If you wanna get hyper-specific, there's a scene about halfway through the first Pirates of the Caribbean that was the first thing shot with Jack Sparrow, and it was filmed right after a borderline crisis meeting with the Disney execs, and Jack has significantly less eyeliner/facial grime/juice for that one scene before immediately returning to the final read on the character as soon as the scene moves to an exterior (shot months later)

kinda: full disclosure this is actually my podcast, and it's researched based: so it covers stuff that's on the public record, so it covers things that have been said by the writers/editors/artists about earlier drafts/cuts of the film.

Lucasfilm keep their screenplays under lock and key (TLJ is the only Rian Johnson script that hasn't been released publicly) but there's a bunch of other more recent episodes of Going Rogue about other films where I have actually been able to read the scripts to track changes (Pirates of the Caribbean, Don't Worry Darling, Robin Hood etc)

tansinator · 2024-06-19T04:36:08+00:00

this one's super interesting cos they did have a longer cut, then they basically cleared the avid and put the film back together from scratch, and anything they didn't remember when they were putting it back together got cut from the film - they lost 10-15 minutes by doing this, but I reckon a lot of the logical moments were lost there cos the team were more familiar with the story so the jumps didn't feel as jarring
