There's no con more satisfying and lucrative than finding a way to make a living as a screenwriter. And Ted Griffin is a man who knows a good con. Anyone who tried to follow the clever criminal head games he built into his screenplays for Ocean's Eleven and Matchstick Men knows not to trust this guy. Except when he talks about screenwriting, which he does with great humor and insight in this enlightening interview that ranges from his early work on Ravenous and Best Laid Plans through the unexpected pitfalls of trying to direct his first film, Rumor Has It...

  • i believe he used to be a supporter of peta, i know he doesnt eat meat.

  • @richiedrenz

    You're right! Blasphemy of this proportion calls for... ALL CAPS!

  • THE INTERVIEW DOES NOT ALLOW THE S/WRITERS TO FINISH THEIR TAWTS HE IS ALWAYS BREAKING EM AND SOMETIMES THEY ARE IN THE MIDST OF AN INTERESTING CHAIN OF TAWT....

  • Love this guy's work. Anyone have a line on his script for 'Beached'?

  • He had written five scripts before the first one was produced - wow, I am really impressed. Most people write a dozen, if not more, since the first one is worth reading it (let alone producing).

    The interview is really funny and some lines like "we grew up in the same house" are hilarious. I didn't even know this guy and now I am a fan.

  • Funny and inspiring interview with Ted!

  • interviewer needs to shut the fuck up and stop interrupting. let the man talk!

  • What films?

    Example please!

  • the line is not original. It's been said in a number of films before. Watch what seeps into your subconscious. Regurgitation is not originality.
