“Audiences are harder to please if you’re just giving them
effects, but they’re easy to please if it’s a good story.”
– Steven Spielberg
“I have always credited the writer of the original material above the title: Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, or John Grisham’s The Rainmaker. I felt that I didn’t have the right to Francis Coppola’s anything unless
I had written the story and the screenplay.”
– Francis Ford Coppola
“Once you crack the script,
everything else follows.”
– Ridley Scott
