This isn't really about whether women cuss or not.... It's about men writing female characters that act and sound like men...

You can ignore me if you want, but....

I wonder how women usually write about male characters.

Who here has a female protagonist rather than a male?

I have a script with a female protagonist. Not this one - it would be hard to think of a thriller with female protagonist for me.

Well, they say, "Write what you know". In other words, not me. =(

Sorry, Khama. Not this time.

My main protagonist is a male but it's the female protagonist who has amnesia.

I think Blackkwolfe has a female protagonist though.

I have a female lead protagonist: Agent Madison "Mad Hatter" Elliot, FBI

Could be played by any of the following:

Diane Kruger , Hillary Swank ,
Amanda Peet , or Rachel McAdams

Unfortunately, the genre has very few female protagonists, several of which are more "proactive victims" than genuine hero material.

Not too many heroes over here, either.

Lettuce see what "the boys" are up to...

Hmm... A preponderance of either heroes or villains.

Cool, Ray!

For a female FBI, I'd pick either Diane Kruger or Hillary Swank. The other twos are more girly. Maybe because of the films they're usually in.

On top of my head, I think Jodie Foster is the only woman who can carry a thriller.

You guys are funny!

Now we're able to pick and choose the actors for our script?  Wow!

OK...hmmm...uh...I guess I'll take Leo DeCaprio, Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Wesley Snipes, Zoe Saldanna, and...not sure yet.  Let me send a few more queries out...I'm sure I'll have more interest a little later today!

LOL!

You mean you can write characters for a story that ideally would actually be on the screen but you really have no idea whose personality they would match? WOW!


Seriously, you honestly have no idea which actor or actress would be most suitable for your characters? You don't... channel that personality for consistency? Are you being funny?

Your lead could be be plug and played by either DeCaprio - OR - Morgan Freeman? Hmm. Can't wait.

HaHa...Leo could play 1 of my 2 leads, who are both 35 years old, since he's 36.  Morgan Freeman could play another important character who is in his 60's, even though he's 73, as he looks younger than he is.  But then again, maybe Morgan could play each and every role with a little make up here and there.  Damn, that's funny.  You got me laughing now.

Ray, Ray, Ray, I'm just fucking around with ya, bud.

It is humorous to me, though, when people start throwing out names for their scripts.  It's always based on a few different things...looks, popularity, accomplishments, or similar roles.

How's the script coming along, BTW?

Ha ha ha.
Not quite so stupid of an idea now, is it, funny MFer?
Different strokes for different folks.
We're all doin' our thing in different ways.

>> Ray, Ray, Ray, I'm just F**king around with ya, bud. <<

F#ckin' right back atcha.
It's good to see that you can eat what you serve.

H3ll. I've seen enough development stories to know all sorts of shenanigans go on with casting.
I wouldn't presume diddly for an actual cast.
Lokkit what happened to SALT.

>> How's the script coming along, BTW? <<

Roughed out the second half of ACT II over the weekend, should get that cleaned up today/tomorrow.
Leaves me with only ten/twelve pages to figure for ACT III.
No big whup.
I do gotta go back and punch up some saltine cracker dialog in ACT I and II, part 1.
Again, no big whup.

I'm pretty confident I'll have something presentable by Friday.

So I think we should have at least 6 scripts by the end?
