So does Abrams and guys like that have to put up with as much bs? Does a proven track record make a difference or are they asses to everyone?<br /><br />Rainforest GiantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-65439866421145950602012-08-23T15:38:34.076-03:002012-08-23T15:38:34.076-03:00If you've ever listened to Adam Carolla's ...If you've ever listened to Adam Carolla's podcasts, he has plenty of horror stories about getting pilots off of the ground. The stupidest thing is that, if a pilot isn't picked up, they Never Look At It Again. Even if the previous network head goes out in a cloud of disgrace, the incoming guys never say 'gee, maybe he missed a good one?' and look through the archives. Nope, just take that $4-5 Million dollar effort and shelve it away forever.Blast Hardcheesenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-603179998097216502012-08-23T14:52:54.854-03:002012-08-23T14:52:54.854-03:00I don't think WBTV was the problem, I think it...I don't think WBTV was the problem, I think it was dealing with the networks was what drove them out of TV for the time being.<br /><br />Legendary is a big organization with deep financing and does do a lot of their feature film development in house, and in their own way. WB doesn't really rock the boat with them since they have a pretty good batting average as a production partner.<br /><br />However, in TV, development is dominated by the networks, and they don't care about your track record, or your development methods, they have territory to mark, and can make getting a TV show on air a nightmarish experience.<br /><br />Legendary doesn't have to take the network's shit and call it ice cream, and they're not going to bother.Furious Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934529688753875751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-53650699344490765642012-08-23T11:47:53.635-03:002012-08-23T11:47:53.635-03:00Rainforest Giant her,

There must be som...Rainforest Giant her,<br /><br />Furious,<br /><br />There must be some relatively honest and hungry TV production company out there. Is Legendary tied to WB TV? Or could they shop around for a good fit? Could they try grabbing a chunk o' Dick for themselves or do they need to partner for financial reasons? Do they have the ability to do the development in house and distribution through an honest or at least mostly honest second party?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
