Akiva Goldsman: A Class Act

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Academy Award winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman has, in a brief 15-year career, set the film world on fire. Responsible for countless critical and fan favorites, Goldsman is a masterful wordsmith who can weave a wondrous tale from whole cloth as easily as he translates our favorite best-sellers into cinematic magic. If forced to choose (and I know the decision isn't an easy one!), can you pick just one of this talented storyteller's flicks as your favorite?

lost in space was soooooo bewildering

i don't even remember what it was about. i remember the cgi space monkey thing.

The only one of these movies I can remember liking is Batman Forever, which I don't think I've seen since the one time I saw it in the theater. Honorable mention for Silent Fall, which I never saw but which was (if I recall correctly) Liv Tyler's screen debut. Oh, man, did I ever have a crush on her back then. Oh, man.

I, Robot

― moron oil (Gukbe), Tuesday, 15 December 2009 00:16 (fifteen years ago)

I, Robot is the least repellent. Think I hate the faux profound Oscar-bait Beautiful Mind more than the outright trash.

― Dorian (Dorianlynskey), Tuesday, 15 December 2009 09:42 (fifteen years ago)

I, Robot was originally written without the robots turning evil and the resultant action sequences. Hollywood wanted evil robots and Goldsman did the rewrite.

(the I, Robot script, that is.)

Have any polls received fewer total votes than this?

Two things I'm curious if Akiva Goldsman actually wrote in Batman Forever

1) The scene where Robin says "Holy Rusted Metal!" only to explain he meant the metal was full of holes.
2) The title.

Most of this guy's stuff is like it's meant for really slow people. Still kind of o_O that his "directorial debut" on Fringe tv series wasn't horrible.
