To me, the screenplay only becomes the Bible of the film after the actors have been cast. You go over the initial script with them and listen to the way they talk. Then you try to do a rewrite to accommodate them.

I think my initial view of it is that ‘The Room’ has succeeded in being the best bad movie because it’s the most earnest. I feel like it’s a film that comes from the heart, and somebody’s really trying to send a message about their life and their view on the human experience.
Some of the greatest, most revolutionary advances in science have been given their initial expression in attractively modest terms, with no fanfare.

If you can get over this initial distrust that people have of strangers, you can do remarkable things.
