The Dialogue: An Interview with Screenwriter Jeff Nathanson
An interview series that gives unprecedented looks into the lives of working screenwriters.

Nathanson has also collaborated with Jan de Bont on Twister and Speed 2: Cruise Control and with Brett Ratner on the Rush Hour films. In this interview, learn more about why he dreads pitching, never speaks during a notes meeting, and finds he can do almost all his research with the Internet and old Playboys.
