There is a link now available to download the 125-page transcript (in the form of a .pdf document) of the original 1978 story conference between Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Lawrence Kasdan for a little film called Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Mystery Man in Film provides a ten point summary of what screen writers can learn from the great men. Here’s my three point summary:
- have a bunch of lurid ideas straight out of cheap fiction
- take them seriously
- add magic so that anyone of any age can enjoy the movie
Simple, huh? Now go make your fortune, little pig.
