I can't stand WF and I never have. Same with Ben Stiller. They're a pair of tools who like to play characters who are equally toolish. IMO.

Rex, if you want to get a movie off the ground there are lots of ways of going about it depending on what the idea is. Having a script written is a good start. From there it depends what your audience is and what the story is. Do you go to produce the thing yourself, or find yourself a production company. Do you used big name actors or nonamers?

If it's just a story idea you have, then you haven't got much going for you yet, but you could. If you can't write the script yourself, find someone to collaborate with. Hang around the local film school and find a student maybe, or approach the faculty for help if you're on a tight budget, otherwise, it's pretty easy to do it yourself once you get the format right (and this is important if you want anyone to take you seriously). Just remember, every page equals one minute of screen time.

Best of luck with it though.
