编剧SUSANNAH GRANT访谈，《永不妥协》是如何写成的？
Writing ‘Erin Brockovich’ | Screenwriting from Iowa
编剧SUSANNAH GRANT谈其创作过程时说，自己并没有完全按照大纲写，而是把大纲当成一个路线图。
I always have a road map. It is an outline that gets revised as I move along. I start with, “How does this movie start? What’s the first scene? What’s the scene after that?” And I bite off a little piece at a time. It’s like climbing a mountain. You can’t look at the mountain top, you just have to look at the ridge you’re on.
I start with a full outline. Not every beat will be hammered down and I rarely stick to the original file. I always over-outline. … As I write, I amend and revise and condense. I wouldn’t call it an outline, I’d call it a road map that I detour from.
