BONUS EPISODE: How to Write a Screenplay with Fight Club Screenwriter Jim Uhls

First Rule of Jim Uhls, YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT Jim
Uhls!
We I have a MAJOR treat for the tribe this week. I have no other
than Jim Uhls, the master screenwriter behind David
Fincher's "Fight Club", one of the greatest films in my
generation, in my humble option.
When Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club was making the rounds
in Hollywood, it was a tough sale to be adapted for the
screen. But then Brad Pitt got involved; add David Fincher and Ed
Norton, throw Jim Uhls into the mix and you've got a modern
classic.
Jim’s screenwriting credits include of course the modern classic
“Fight Club” the feature-film "Jumper" the NBC television film
"Semper Fi" and the SyFy miniseries "Spin".
In this remarkable discussion, Jim Uhls breaks the
first rule of Fight Club: He talks about it, working with
David Fincher, why he hates outlines and why you should
interview your characters. Step inside the mind of the man who
figured out how to conquer Hollywood as he lays down knowledge bomb
after knowledge bomb in this eye-opening interview.
Towards the end of the interview, Jim gives easily the GREATEST
ADVICE ON HOW TO BECOME A WORKING SCREENWRITER I EVER
HEARD! This podcast is not to be missed.
Enjoy my conversation with Jim Uhls.
