A screenwriter's life: I'm your friend, Eddie.
War of the Worlds screenwriter Josh Friedman's blog, "I find your lack of faith disturbing," is quickly becoming the Rude Pundit of screenwriter's journals. The swears come furiously, especially in the memorable "Snakes on a Motherf-king Plane." From Wednesday: "If any of you have checked me out on IMDB you'll note that I wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay to Keanu Reeves's most famous movie Chain Reaction. I've only got a shared story credit now but it began as a spec script sold by yours truly some months after making his first $20,000 on the previously discussed serial killer movie. I got paid pretty well but I was still living in the attic and driving my mother's Honda. In the future I'll write about selling this script but all you need to know right now is this: There is ONE line in the movie left over from my spec. "I'm your friend, Eddie." [More of Friedman's backstory, plus swears, at the link.]
