Today he’s the sole screenwriter on Mortal Kombat II, and already tackling the sequel. Screenwriter Jeremy Slater sits down with Brian and Bailey to discuss why he writes, how he writes, and what other writers would do well to keep in mind on their own journeys. How does a kid too scared to take a bath after watching Jaws end up writing for Marvel and DC? Why should screenwriters be careful about considering themselves “artists”? What keeps him returning to the page even when the goalposts keep moving? How does he cap off his writing each day by setting himself up for success the next morning? What are Hollywood “round table” meetings all about, and how do they work? And why does he say screenplays are primarily “promotional documents”? Jeremy has plenty to say about how his Mortal Kombat II made it to theaters, how he makes sure he’s a screenwriter people want to work with, and how he keeps it that way.
