They have to appeal to millions
and millions of people. According to John Lee, the average film is seen by 600
million people worldwide - and your script needs to be something
that will appeal to all of those people. Not a story that only
appeals to you, not a story that only appeals to your social or
ethnic group, not a story that only appeals to Americans, not a
story that appeals only to people who speak English. You script
needs to appeal to 600 million people worldwide. Your story
has to be so exciting, that 600 million people will pay money
to see it. Mainstream American films, the kind of movies that are made inside 
the system, where they *buy* screenplays, are not designed for American audiences - 
they are designed for the whole world to see.</FONT></FONT></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F45755CF-CD6C-4C2B-810F-DFB4790FA250/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
