@teenierussell: So, who's watched Oldboy? #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:03 pm
@GoIntoTheStory: By my count, "Self/Less" is the
101st spec script sale of 2011. Sales are up 94% compared to last year.

@HateTheHate: #scriptchat A thriller is a sit-hor (situation
horror)? :)
December 4, 2011, 8:06 pm
@antonsays: @teenierussell me. loved it. edgy, thrilling,
surprising, shocking. #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:06 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell I was interested all the way
through, but wasn't totally convinced by it. The end is audacious in many
ways... #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:07 pm
@TaroJ: @SiFoulaReel :-) its certainly an original
#scriptchat this was pretty much THEfilm that brought attention to the
Koreanindustry #scriptchat

@Will_Scothern: @teenierussell Me. Hundreds of times. Well,
several maybe. #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:08 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell but it's quite old-fashioned -
and I mean 30s/40s - under scrutiny. Evil hypnosis? That's convenient!
#scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:08 pm
@Perczynski: #scriptchat So what differs thriller to good
action movie? @TaroJ @teenierussell
December 4, 2011, 8:09 pm
@TaroJ: #scriptchat I lived the idea of a revenge movie but
finding out Why? Is as important as revenge. The opening 20 minutes covering 15
years
December 4, 2011, 8:09 pm
@Will_Scothern: @TaroJ Dragged me along right with it.
#scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:09 pm
@Will_Scothern: @SiFoulaReel Did you know it was based on a
Manga? #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:10 pm
@teenierussell: @Perczynski Thriller to me is different to
action on many different levels. In an action, you generally know from the
go... #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:10 pm
@teenierussell: @Perczynski who the antagonist is
#scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:11 pm
@TaroJ: #scriptchat it's a real roller coaster for the
character Daesu especially as he comes across as a bit of a bum in the opening
December 4, 2011, 8:11 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @Will_Scothern I didn't. I don't think the
credits said so, only story and written by credits. Might have missed it.
#scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:12 pm
@Bang2write: #scriptchat spec thrillers frequently
concentrate too much on character + turn into dramas - difficult balancing act
in this genre
December 4, 2011, 8:12 pm
@TaroJ: #scriptchat we keep seem to come back to character
wher talking about writing but it's so true for a Thriller.
December 4, 2011, 8:12 pm
@Perczynski: #scriptchat Many say that "Panic
Room" was a real thriller, but I found it rather like action movie located
in one place. @teenierussell
December 4, 2011, 8:13 pm
@Will_Scothern: What's really makes a difference with Oldboy
is the Music. One of the best scores I've heard. #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:13 pm
@teenierussell: @antonsays definitely shocking and you feel
for the antagonist in the end. #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:13 pm
@TaroJ: #scriptchat they need to be a fish out of water that
adapts to what is thrown at them
December 4, 2011, 8:13 pm
@TaroJ: @Will_Scothern it's a great soundtrack and sitting
on my laptop right now #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:14 pm
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel I was just confused as to why
in the end he would be hypnotised to forget who she really was and carry on as
normal #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:14 pm
@Will_Scothern: @SiFoulaReel I think that explains a lot of
the audacious style choices present in the film, from mise-en-scene to story.

computer. I lost it all. :(
December 4, 2011, 8:15 pm
@Perczynski: #scriptchat Ok, so you don't know the
antagonist, you put attention to characters not action, what more?
@teenierussell @TaroJ
December 4, 2011, 8:15 pm
@TaroJ: @teenierussell @sifoulareel is that what everyone
got from the ending? #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:15 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell Right. It's open to a lot of
interpretation, but none particularly healthy. I admired the film rather than
liked. #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:16 pm
@HateTheHate: #scriptchat Thrillers remove the protagonist
from their comfort zone, they place heightened stressors on them to provoke an
xtreme response.
December 4, 2011, 8:17 pm
@Bang2write: @kanundra not sure what you mean... just use
the #scriptchat label - click on it?
December 4, 2011, 8:17 pm

suspens
December 4, 2011, 8:18 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @Will_Scothern Yes, I can see the time shifts
and visual choices working well in that form. They did work in the film too.
#scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:18 pm
@Perczynski: @HateTheHate #scriptchat That explains most of
things. Can u give the best example of classical thriller?

who weren't that interested in watching but had on edge of their seat by the
end. #scriptchat

Suspicious Minds going through my head #scriptchat

@SiFoulaReel: @TaroJ The feature I'm halfway through making
is a murder mystery. Mostly sedate dialogue as I had no budget though!
#scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:22 pm
@teenierussell: @Perczynski @taroj protagonist is usually
not a hero, an average Joe - always exceptions though #scriptchat

@TaroJ: @antonsays Noooooooooooooooooooo #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:23 pm
@HateTheHate: @Perczynski Enemy of the State springs to mind
as an chase-thriller, Oldboy is verging on horror IMO. :) #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:23 pm
@Perczynski: @teenierussell @taroj #scriptchat Ok. That is
another clue, but as you see is hard to recognize it nowadays.
December 4, 2011, 8:23 pm
@antonsays: @TaroJ it was going to star Will Smith but Spike
Lee has it now #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:23 pm
@teenierussell: @antonsays Not surprised, you never know how
it'll turn out. They did do a good job with The Departed (Infernal Affairs)
#scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:24 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @antonsays Can't see it flying. I'm not
opposed to remakes blindly, but this one is unique and should stay that way.
#scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:24 pm
@Will_Scothern: @antonsays My hopes aren't high. First
Spielberg, then Lee? Holy cow are both of them wrong for the job. #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:24 pm

a film with subtitles when you can remake it #scriptchat

Trilogy? Great action, but I kinda see them as Thrillers... #scriptchat

@Perczynski: @HateTheHate #scriptchat Eagle Eye is another
chasing good one right?
December 4, 2011, 8:26 pm
@teenierussell: @Perczynski @taroj It makes it harder for
writers to sell specs when it's not clear what the genre is. #scriptchat
December 4, 2011, 8:26 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @Will_Scothern @teenierussell @Perczynski
@taroj I would call them action thrillers. Thrillers can be hybrid with lots...
