?Flight? Screenwriter John Gatins Shares How The Denzel Washington Pic Took Off

Though a Paramount release, Flight did not take the trajectory of a typical studio concept plucked from an internal idea bin. Screenwriter John Gatins began working on what would become the feature starring Denzel Washington and directed by Robert Zemekis earlier last decade on his own. While still new to Hollywood, Gatins, who first hit the scene as a writer on sports pics including Summer Catch and Hard Ball, sobered up. He took that experience and his fear of flying, to quietly craft the story that would evolve into Flight.

The film, which debuted at the New York Film Festival in the fall and debuted in theaters in early November has cashed in with nearly $91 million at the domestic box office on a relatively modest budget - at least for Hollywood with a big star - of $31 million. On the Awards Circuit the film has won some attention including a Golden Globe nomination for Denzel Washington for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama and he may well be on the road to a nomination for Best Actor next month when the Oscar nominations are revealed. Gatins has also received some attention including Best Original Screenplay by the Broadcast Film Critics Association and a nomination from the Image Awards.

Flight's plane crash makes for good imagery in a trailer, but it really serves as a set-up for one man's personal struggle with addiction and denial, which forms the crux of Flight. Washington plays pilot Whip Whitaker, who successfully guides a plane that experiences a mid-air mishap to the ground, saving nearly everyone on board. He's hailed for his heroism by the media, but what eventually percolates to the surface during the investigation is missing on-board alcohol and…

Oscars E-Voting Too Hard For Tech-Illiterate Academy Members, Also Get Off My Lawn

According to THR's Scott Feinberg, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences' newfangled online voting system, implemented this year to make it easier for members to hand Anne Hathaway that statuette and such, is doing just the opposite. Voters can't remember their passwords, web security is questionable, and important papers are being mistakenly tossed in the trash like annoying credit card offers. "It?s probably more difficult for members to log on than it is for hackers," said one Oscars voter. Wait a second guys: This could be great. Who needs a Brett Ratner — this could be just what the Oscars need to finally jazz and youthen things up!

Granted, it's a real problem. Who knows how many ballots won't be cast, or how e-apathy will decimate voter turnout? HOW WILL BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL GET ALL THE OSCARS??

Oh, I kid. And not to be ageist but as Feinberg points out, as we well know, the Academy skews older — a concern he and other pundits had when the e-voting change was announced:

At the time, some (me included) speculated that the change might be too much too soon, particularly because "more than a few members don't even have computers and/or know how to use the Internet." (The median age of the Academy's 5,765 members, according to a recent study, is 62.)

I'm sure the Academy will figure it out, extend a deadline, put a few more volunteers on the HelpDesk lines. And I'm positive the media hubbub won't attract the internet attention of those insidious hackers out there. The Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, Project X — your Oscar chances just skyrocketed!

I leave you with these actual real quotes from…
