CHEWIE

Finished this script by Van Robichaux and Evan Susser.

CHEWIE is a thoroughly entertaining, highly enjoyable read.  The pages flow.  The scenes are dynamic.  The dialogue is superb.  The characters jump out at you.  This is exactly what a screenplay should be.

The writers are amazing.  Every single door in Hollywood should be opened for them.  They are purebread pros and know exactly what they are doing.

Script tells the story of the making of STAR WARS with Peter Mayhew being the central character.  Mayhew is toiling away, clearing bed pans in a hospital when he gets the job of Chewbacca.  However, the pay's not great and the project is rather dubious, on the verge of collapse any minute. 

Mayhew has to learn to follow his dreams and learns to take risk when he sees Lucas practically killing himself to complete the movie.

What a script!  What a message!

It's a the kind of screenplay that immediately upon reading, you say to yourself, "Let's go make a movie!"
The script is that inspiring!
