Movies, Script Reviews and Screenplays by Tristan Mahlow. Friday, July 6, 2012. World War Z Script Review. The slow-paced script can't balance the flashback heavy sequences with any urgent goal in the present. Unfortunately it drags along like a life-less zombie itself. What is the goal?

The rewrites might be a good thing for the movie as Lindelof knows ...

Movies, Script Reviews and Screenplays by Tristan Mahlow. Thursday, April 3, 2014. Book to Movie: Codex Alera - The Furies of Calderon. Cover of Furies of Calderon. Could it be a good movie? In my opinion, the " Pokemon. Meets " Lost Roman Legion. Fantasy Book could translate pretty well to the big screen. A future writer would have to trim down overtly dragging scenes in the middle part of the book. I really liked the down-to-earth fantasy, which should mirror in a classic movie direction.

Movies, Script Reviews and Screenplays by Tristan Mahlow. Wednesday, August 14, 2013. The Rising Cost of Fantasy. Distant worlds with exotic creatures, epic battles, larger-than-life villains - all that comes to mind, when we think about fantasy movies. Fantasy - like Science Fiction - opens up a world of dreams, like a keyhole into everything imaginable. I wondered, why are there so few. What can we see? What does that mean? Fantasy is expensive. For the cost of one fantasy movie the studio could ma...
