Dude. This is actually something I know about. It’s really frustrating to have people who don’t know anything about screenwriting chiming in with their sparse “not reallys” and “well, that’s not how it works when you’re writing a book.”

Yes, it absolutely is unusual.

Ah ok, thank you. You’re right, my bad. The point still stands though: a couple months is a short period of time to write 100 pages of a screenplay.

According to the NYT interview, they only just met earlier this month. That means they produced 100 pages in less than a month! That’s pretty unusual, and it makes me wonder about the quality.

cough.

No, this is not a “get off my lawn” comment. It’s just a condescending & douchey one.
