Tuesday Runaround: Chat With Stan Lee And Gene Simmons On Bleeding Cool Later Today

Tuesday Runaround: Chat With Stan Lee And Gene Simmons On Bleeding Cool Later TodayTheManWatch: Stan Lee and Gene Simmons will be at Sundance today doing a one hour live video chat, and you can catch it all — and ask questions — right here on Bleeding Cool starting at 2:45 EST today.

StaticWatch: John Rozum talks about leaving Static Shock.

All of my ideas and suggestions were met with disdain, and Scott McDaniel lectured me on how my method for writing was wrong because it wasn't what the Robert McKee screenwriting book he read told him was the way to do things. The man who'd never written anything was suddenly more expert than me and the editor was agreeing with him. Scott had also never read a Static comic book, nor seen the cartoon series, yet was telling me that my dialogue didn't sound true to the character and would "fix it."

Static's alter ego, Virgil, who was more important to the original series than his super hero persona, was put on the very back burner because Harvey said it wasn't important and that the book just needed to be all action. One of my scripts was deemed too slow because there were a total of 4 pages where no one was hitting or shooting anything. Essentially my job was to transcribe Scott's voluminous and often clunky dialogue into a script format. Any efforts I made to try and finesse, edit, or reduce his dialogue or captions, offended him, and everything had to be changed back to how he'd originally written it, while my dialogue always required his improvement.

When I received an email from Harvey telling me that he and Scott had been plotting out the series without me, after Harvey had promised me that I'd be back in the driver's seat as the writer, I'd had enough and quit.
