Nothing wrong with hiring your family. Creative talent is genetic.

>>211898985 (OP) Its a story that's already been written with mountains of feedback from the movies of how to and not to adapt it. It shouldn't require a great deal of writing skill.
>>211898985 (OP) >also hires thandie newton's daughter who only has one writing credit (she was given her own show by netflix when she had zero writing credits) didn't they used to hide this shit a little better?

>zomg she landed adapted someone else's story as her FiRST WRITING GIG!!!
I mean, yeah? That's not a good thing, OP. That's writing-for-hire, it's like filming weddings rather than making films.
>>211898985 (OP) I don't get how Harry Potter got so popular when it's premise is so depressing: >bullied manlet in glasses discovers he's a wizard and is taken to a magical world where he's a star Except - you know - in the real world there's no magic and you have no superpowers - you'll remain a loser forever.
>>211899162 yeah why can't it be a nice, sober story where Harry explains he has the same problems with insomnia and overthinking that i do? complete with autistic breakdowns about how magic isn't real, and how he has computed the precise mathematical probability of spell-casting using vector arithmetic and scientific reasoning, based on the logical principles of...
>>211899202 I mean the job itself as a 'good' one. She isn't getting some amazing, original project right out of the gate. She's writing the Harry Potter adaptation, lol.
>he got to ghostwrite a celebrity's autobiography? he must have sucked a few cocks to land THAT job!
>>211899343 >She's writing the Harry Potter adaptation, lol. Right, she just shouldn't be. Amateur writers have no place writing for an IP as popular as this, dick-sucking aside.
>>211899280 It's escapism of the lowest form - with no relation to the real world whatsoever. It's like jerking off to anime. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a large overlap between the fans of the two.
>>211899548 Why? It's a writer, she's a writer. It would be STRANGER if she wrote an original, 12-episode sitcom or something.
Do you care who wrote the Dungeons & Dragons film when it was the biggest RPG, a huge franchise prior to the film? Or any [insert popular novel here] adaptation?
>>211898985 (OP) Nice, you can tell she's British. She has that effortless elegance and regal posture of a confident British woman.

>>211898985 (OP) She's probably her best critique and is able to tell her that something is shit without getting fired for it. That's very useful and necessary in the writers room particularly and if the person is intimidating or powerful. Nepotism is a double edged sword like that. Can be great or shit, time will tell.

>>211899708 >It would be STRANGER if she wrote an original, 12-episode sitcom or something. No it wouldn't, because she's going to try her best to include whatever horseshit she never got to write before into this already established story
>>211899865 That'll be funny as shit. Maybe she gets really obsessed with Seamus or something, tells HIS story. What's it like, being a wizard during the Troubles? Maybe it's exactly like that Eireaboo novel she was working on.
