Summary
In a special interview, Will chats with Gary Goldman, the screenwriter of 1986's cult classic Big Trouble in Little China . The setting of Gary's original story was very different than what we saw onscreen. Is there a future for this tale of ancient Chinese mysticism set in the Old West? Over the last several decades, Gary has written, produced, and otherwise improved a number of successful Hollywood films, including Total Recall , Minority Report and Basic Instinct . He’s worked for every major film studio and collaborated on projects with directors Steven Spielberg, Paul Verhoven, John Carpenter, James Cameron, and Ridley Scott. 0:00 - Introduction 0:55 - Interview Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow .
