This was fantastic. I could listen to Shane talk about books, movies, and writing all day long. And Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang might be the most overlooked comedy of the 2000s.
This was amazing. Can't believe I haven't seen this channel yet. Thank you so much for getting in touch with Shane. He's one of the best and a Pittsburgh boy. I'd love to see more videos like this. I'd especially love to see him and others talk about the day to day of writing and how they go about it until the script is ready to shoot.
Shane Black was responsible for my childhood and all its great memories, a group of us became amateur film makers because of his films. Huge thanks for 'Long kiss goodnight'
Remaking Last Action Hero with The Rock, if done right, can actually be really good! It's the one action movie where he can really go ham and it'll feel appropriate
This was so fun to listen to. Also, some great takes on how to be a writer are said. And Black has being behind some of my favorite movies (yes, Last Action Hero; I am surprised he downplayed his involvement in that one). I wish they shot his original script for The Last Boy Scout, if you read it, it would have been one of the greatest action movies ever, even how dark and gritty it was. Outrageous, but marvelous stuff. He messed up 2018 Predator, but I will pretend there are only two of them made. But his scripts perfectly encapsulated the bliss feeling if you are an older boy and some grown-up man alike, watching his movies.
I think when you are at your best as a screenwriter or filmmaker in general, you are probably invisible to the general audience. I was floored to find out after I watched the Last Boy Scout who the writer was and what else he had done. I have mentioned it often enough to a few of my friends, and it just seems to go over their heads. It was like when I discovered as a writer, you could go to a Star Trek convention and talk with the people that actually write the dialog and create the stories. There's hardly anyone asking for their autographs, but you have to wait and hour to get one of the stars' signatures...
Think Bruce said it was his best character he ever played. It was important to Bruce as even though it didn't do great it was critically well received after some bad ones
Thank you Scriptcake and Shane. I listened to this while going for a walk and- I swear, Shane sounds exactly like Billy Friedkin sometimes. A lot of times Wonder if they’re from the same hood?
Solid interview. Shane Black is the man. The project he is working on sounds amazing. A new Parker film taken from the source material the way he describes and made into a film from him and his collaborators would be very cool. I had always hoped his script for the Destroyer series (A new Remo Williams story) to be made, possibly one of the great what if's of moviedom.
QT is also a writer and director, but I don't see Shane Black as director; also, their sensibilities are different. More like Shane is restrained Tarantino.
How is nobody watching this?! What a legend!
Thankful the algorithm took me here.
I agreed ❤🎉,lets spread it, already shared ❤
This was fantastic. I could listen to Shane talk about books, movies, and writing all day long.
And Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang might be the most overlooked comedy of the 2000s.
He is truly one of the most underrated filmmakers and screenwriters
Yes - Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang!! Definitely overlooked and a great comeback project for Shane Black and RDJ!
One of my all time favorite writers. Shane knows the importance of a good set-up.

I admire Mr. Black so much because years ago I wrote him and he actually wrote me back!!! Thank you for this excellent Master Class: Like! Like! Like!
Shane Black's movies rules the 80s and 90s! More to come I hope!
Wow…
“Replacing fear with problem solving. And knowing not to panic during the fear. And just keep going.”
… I can do relate. Thank you, Shane.

I have always loved the last action hero! Big Mr. Black fan.
Underrated film.
Great episode!!!! Love all the practical advice.
I loved Last Action Hero. It had a magical quality about it.
That was amazing, Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great interview! Whenever I've been stuck on a screenplay, most of the time the solutions have come to me when I'm away from the computer.
This is fantastic.
This was fantastic and covered so many ideas in such a short time. Some real gems for writing inspiration.
Thanks so much!
Shorts of this interview would blow up.

I'd watch a Shane Black Nightmare On Elm St in a heartbeat.

When they made Die Hard with a Vengeance I swear that wasn’t John McClane Bruce was playing, that was Joe Hallenbeck The Last Boy Scout all the way.
Think Bruce said it was his best character he ever played. It was important to Bruce as even though it didn't do great it was critically well received after some bad ones
Also I'm sure I read Shane Black did a pass on Die Hard
Fantastic conversation and insight into this man's process, loved every second
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was entirely awesome :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Shane Black is the master
Great Interview. Thanks guys.
Thanks for listening

He also worked on a Doc Savage script and a script for Mel Gibson playing a spy, set in the 1970s.
This is awesome
i fuckin love this guy
Great video!
Thanks!
I need to start reading again. I’m an embarrassment:)
Just start small. 5 to 10 pages a day.

Shane Black is Tarantino without the pretension or lack of narrative discipline
QT is also a writer and director, but I don't see Shane Black as director; also, their sensibilities are different. More like Shane is restrained Tarantino.
@@m1lst3r89 No, more disciplined Tarantino.
I love I'm a fraud!
About the thumbnail... "Iron Man 3"? Jeez. =__= Try The Nice Guys instead...
