Прекрасная книга Сидни Люмета "Making Movies". Вот несколько забавных выдержек о сценаристах.
"Often the last to arrive is the writer. He is last because he knows that at this point he is the target. At this moment, anything wrong can only be his fault, since nothing else has happened yet. So he moves quietly to the coffee table, stuffs his mouth full of Danish so he won’t have to answer any questions, and tries to become as small as possible".
Most writers are so used to being slapped around that they’re stunned that I want them at rehearsal. Only twice has this backfired. Once, the writer fell in love with the leading lady. He showed his love by trying to make her feel as insecure as possible. He was hoping she’d ask him to help her with her part at night. She complained to me, and I had to ask him to leave.
