  • I really appreciated this video; it confirms a lot of what I feel about my own writing, especially the remarks about needing to love being alone in a room, writing. Yeah! The thought of mingling among the principles of a production does nothing for me (aside from causing a cold sweat), but finding a great one-liner or turning a scene totally on its head with one good edit is such a rush.

  • David Koepp was My aunt's husband- Iv'e met him quite a few Times.

  • I like him. Heis a very witty and creative writer. I love his The Shadow script, and how it explained the whole background of Lamont Cranston.

    The things I have heard peoplecomplain about Indy 4 are not his fault, they are George Lucas'. Such as the aliens. George came up with that idea, and Spielberg was FIERCLY opposed at first.

    I liked Indy 4, though. And I hope he (Koepp) returns for Indy 5.

  • Koepp isn't a bad writer. He's written some amazing films.

    He just wasn't the man for Indy 4.

  • Tosh, tosh an d thrice I say tosh. Hater.

  • I think my dead grandmother could have written a better script for Indiana Jones 4! That movie was so bad that I don't even consider it apart of the series.

  • Check out his filmography, man, he's written some amazing flicks.

  • george lucas was the one who came up with the story. koepp wrote the screenplay based on that. yes he is a great writer.

  • monkeywrench(good fuckin name by the way) and Serpico(you too but i probably shouldn't insult somebody who obviously has a few screws loose, i will anyways), ur both retarded. b4 you blindly comment further on something you know nothing about, tell me, how many screenwriting classes have you taken, how many screenwriters have you spoken too, and why do you think that you can make educated comments based purely on the notion that you go to movies and there for you know about them? stupid fucks
