After the success of LETHAL WEAPON, Shane Black became one of the most sought after screenwriters in Hollywood, while still in his mid-20s.
He'd immediately be hired as the screenwriter for that film's sequel, but left the project before it came to completion, resulting in Black taking a two year sabbatical from screenwriting.
When he did get back to writing, his next screenplay resulted in a bidding war, which ending with Black being paid a record-breaking $1.75 million for his script.
The resulting film, Tony Scott's THE LAST BOY SCOUT, was a tumultuous shoot with star Bruce Willis and producer Joel Silver essentially hijacking the shoot. And it was followed by an even more tumultuous post-production process where no less than seven editors were brought in to try to salvage the miles and miles of footage shot.
In this episode, we tell the story of how all of this came together.
We're joined this week by our friend Myles Griffin of The More You Nerd podcast!
