When I was presenting at The Great American PitchFest last month, I was able to duck into a panel featuring Shane Black. He was as smart and funny as usual and just one more reason to come to this year\’s Expo.
If you\’re not familiar with Shane, here\’s some info:
SHANE BLACK is the screenwriter of the 1987 classic Lethal Weapon, which he wrote at the age of 23. He also wrote or co-wrote the rest of the films in that franchise and is currently scripting the fifth installment right now. In 2005, he made his directorial debut with the critically acclaimed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Shane is also well-known for his legendary spec screenplay sales. He made $4 million for The Long Kiss Goodnight ALONE!
