I posted this on another forum, but when I saw that David Koepp and Akira Goldsman were the writers for “Angels and Demons,” I literally said out loud, “Jesus, there’s an unholy alliance.”
Religious puns not intended.
Ron Howard is what made the film interesting. He kept it vibrant and visually attractive.
Two worst writers in the business? Come one… What about Kurtzman and Orci.
“Ron Howard is what made the film interesting.”
By which you’re implying that the film IS interesting?
drbenway: Obviously I disagree, given this year’s best film and all. But I’ll give you Transformers.
Akiva Goldsman wrote “Batman and Robin” winning him the award for worst writer just by default.
