Erudite film buff Andy Conway is a fan of “The Nines,” a movie written and directed by John August. Thanks to Andy for pointing out an unusual feature at August’s blog: there you can download an mp3 or an m4a of him and actor Ryan Reynolds talking about the film. You can then take it with you on your iPod or Zune when you go to see the film (ideally for a second time) and listen to it like a DVD commentary in the cinema. You can get the downloads here.
If you’d like to see the screenplay, you’ll find it here. (For educational purposes only, of course).
On that page you’ll also find a wealth of other material related to films and television series he’s been involved with. For instance, the film “Big Fish,” for which you can see the original one-page outline, the revised full outline after the first draft, the final shooting script, and the introduction to the paperback version. A great resource for anybody who is interested in following the progress (or, once in a while, the retrograde movement) of a project as it goes along.
