TURNER and HOOCH— PAGES FROM JIM, December 1988

 File — Box: 6, Folder: 4

Scope and Contents

(12-23-88.doc to 2-6-89.doc) These are examples of the writing methods Jim and I would use. I’d pitch Jim the scene that included by thoughts on how the scene should play, what information we need to communicate, and where the scene was in the story. I’d relate how the scene would fit into the whole of the piece. He would then either take my advice or discard it and do something different. Then he’d send the pages to our office and we’d call them "Pages from Jim”, which meant that they were raw pages. Then Jim and I would go over the scene together and revise or edit them down. If they were good as is, then I’d send them on to the director or producer. On TURNER AND HOOCH, we were writing on a production deadline so we’d send pages to the director daily to get a First Draft done as soon as possible.
