I'd love to hear everybody's pet peeves in movie and TV production. (sh.itjust.works)

Actors not sweeping correctly when somebody broke a glass or somebody's ashes were spilled on the floor or something like that is infuriating hahha.

They're always having some serious conversation with heavy relationship complications, but whoever has the broom is literally tapping at the mess on the floor because they know that the production crew is going to clean it up for them after the shoot, so they, the ac-tors, don't have to actually sweep the mess into the dustbin.

I f****** hate that.

I will absolutely read it on your recommendation, no doubt.

Was it written by a screenwriter? Or by the concept of the movie? Did it come before the movie?

I have so many questions and I'm asking you before I f****** dive into this s*** online, I'd rather get a person's perspective. Thanks

as a kid it was one of my favorite books.

i think the screenplay came first, and then the same writers wrote the book shortly after with it being released about the same time as the movie.

i love the book because it makes so much of the story make sense... why they are here, what they can actually achieve. how the accident really plays out that triggers the whole movie.

the pressure of the ocean is something they require... they can read humans minds trivially, even after death. they learn a lot about humans from scanning everyone who dies in the sub in the beginning.
