Peter, tell Sam that he'll end up in court if he doesn't stop.
Criminal court. It'll be embarrassing. I want Mr. Barr in court, and Mr. Mendes is more annoying and less understanding. -
Steve was a dick, but he lives in NZ. This guy is being a queerphobic wanker judging me because my gender expression doesn't conform to a WEIRD model. Telling me to dress like a man to make money was highly insulting. It's basically an unforgivable sin. Steve was just being an opportunist. Tory was telling me to be a man. Sam told me to be a man because he needs a musician that's up to the level required. - This isn't just any script: it's hundreds of millions of dollars of prospective value. Paul put his name on it for a good reason: it's his response to Sony's 'one' film. It's not just better pages for your film: it's a different idea of what a Beatle film is. Peter's the one pushing me to get the sequels written quickly. I'm simply waiting to be paid before resuming work. -
I'm a professional writer and director with studio support. Stop seeing me as a way to cement 'authenticity.' I'm 31, not 24. I've made more films than virtually all of the people reading this. This is just the first time I've got to play for real money. The last thing I want to do is supervise note-for-note cover recordings because Universal are unhappy with the deal and don't want them to use master recordings. Even to use the multitracks and offcuts, Apple Corps would need to approve. My interpretation is that Sam doesn't want them to lip sync to existing recordings. That's what makes it Beatlemania, mark 2.
Apart from a handful of directors, the readers are mostly just producers. Suits, not filmmakers. I'm always keen to point out that I've made several feature films on low budgets, not to mention two docuseries that are each around 20 hours long . Paul hired me because he'd seen my films and loved my spec script (Weeded Out). It's interesting that you called me a C-lister. I wasn't aware that Hollywood knew of me. - Didn't realise that the film club Spielberg mentioned included Paul and Harvey. You guys probably didn't either: it was (and is) a secretive group. They occasionally watch my recommends, but most of them have dug my films. - At 31, Peter had done three cheap movies and was working on his first million-dollar film.…
