The Breakdown: LETHAL WEAPON (Demystifying a Legend) - a podcast by Tasha Huo

There is a legend among Screenwriters that Shane Black wrote LETHAL WEAPON right out of college, sold it immediately, and that his first draft was what went into production. Tearing down that myth are hosts Tasha Huo and Josh Hallman, with Special Guest David Levinson, who go behind the scenes of how this holiday action movie really came to be. The truth is nowhere close to mythic, and much closer to the hard reality of what it takes to get a movie made. Hint: Shane Black wasn't the only writer!

It is an Act Two belief that the best writers never stop learning -- so the Breakdown Series will take an in-depth look at the writing of some of the most influential stories of our time, including the behind-the-scenes of how these scripts came together. Sit back, grab a drink, and let's see what we all can learn!
