Screenwriter SIMON KINBERG: Tricks of the Trade

Simon Kinberg recently burst onto the scene with his script for "xXx: State of the Union", and has since worked on comic-to-film adaptations for "Elektra" and "Fantastic Four" and penned the third film in the X-Men series, "X-Men: The Last Stand". Kinberg's breakthrough hit, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", began as a script that he wrote in college and became one of the top grossing movies of 2005. Listen in as he reveals his inspiration -- from breakdancing movies to mentor Akiva Goldsman, and what you do and don't learn at film school.

This video is an excerpt from the full interview, available on DVD at TheDialogueSeries.com .
