Tk With James Scott

Screenwriter and BILLIONS co-creator Brian Koppelman arranged a life surrounded by writers before he realized he wanted to become one. He and James talk about his career, what it's like writing with a partner, how characters live on the page and screen, his love of 'insular worlds with their own language', and Dylan. Then, H. Perry Horton discusses the five scripts he thinks someone should read to get started writing for film.      Brian and James Discuss: SAMARKAND by Amin Maalouf Kurt Vonnegut  Joseph Heller  Gary Gulman  Amy Koppelman (TK guest ep 22)  THE USUAL SUSPECTS (d)irected by Bryan Singer (s)cript by Christopher McQuarrie ROUNDERS d John Dahl s Brian Koppelman & David Levien David Levien  Quentin Tarantino  Scott Rosenberg Callie Khouri KNOCKAROUND GUYS d,s Koppelman & Levien OCEAN'S THIRTEEN d Steven Soderbergh s Koppelman & Levien Bill Buckner   Ken Norton  Duane Bobick  David Mamet  Barry Levinson Coen brothers  Spike Lee  DINER d,s Levinson SOLITARY MAN d Koppelman & Levien s K
