Screenwriting Duos
Screenwriting or scriptwriting is the art and craft of writing scripts for mass media such as feature films, television productions or video games. It is often a freelance profession. Screenwriters are responsible for researching the story, developing the narrative, writing the script, screenplay, dialogues and delivering it, in the required format, to development executives. Screenwriters therefore have great influence over the creative direction and emotional impact of the screenplay and, arguably, of the finished film. Screenwriters either pitch original ideas to producers, in the hope that they will be optioned or sold; or are commissioned by a producer to create a screenplay from a concept, true story, existing screen work or literary work, such as a novel, poem, play, comic book, or short story. Types The act of screenwriting takes many forms across the entertainment industry. Often, multiple writers work on the same script at different stages of development with different ...

The Dennis Miller Show
''The Dennis Miller Show'' is an American syndicated late-night talk show created by and starring comedian Dennis Miller. The show launched in January 1992 and was hosted by the former ''Saturday Night Live'' Weekend Update anchor as an attempt by syndicator Tribune Entertainment to carve out a niche in the late-night television landscape; an opportunity to do so was anticipated due to Johnny Carson's retirement from ''The Tonight Show'' that May and his replacement by Jay Leno. Miller's show was unable to build a significant audience, however, and was cancelled after seven months. The show was taped at Tribune's KTLA-TV lot, 5800 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles. Late-night landscape ''The Arsenio Hall Show'' was launched in 1989, and after Tribune Entertainment saw how that show brought in new and younger viewers to late night, they wanted to make their own show in an attempt to match its success. In 1990, Tribune Entertainment pursued Garry Shandling to create a syndicated late-night ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
