Writer Kiwi Smith recalls the making of the 2001 classic LEGALLY BLONDE. Fresh off of her first hit 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, Kiwi and her writing partner Karen McCullah were eager to find a story centered on female empowerment that was fun, fresh, smart, and accessible. She found all that and more in an unpublished manuscript about a sorority girl going to Stanford Law. Kiwi remembers wearing pink to their studio pitch and being fully committed to bringing Elle's story to the screen in the right way. A huge part of that was the casting. Among many others, Britney Spears was floated as a possible idea, but it was undeniably Reese Witherspoon's part. Reese emerged as a true leader and her turn as Elle is the stuff of movie legend and inspired a generation of beautiful, smart, and successful women.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hollywood-gold--5670584/support.

For the second week of our love & romance month, we're taking a nostalgic trip back to the late 90s to revisit 10 Things I Hate About You--one of the standouts among the rash of teen movies that came out around the same time. This adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, which John and Georgia also have a special connection to, features a number of fantastic performances by young actors who have gone on to have strong careers, including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Julia Stiles, and, of course, the late great Heath Ledger. We discuss 90s riot grrrl and post-riot grrrl music, father/daughter relationships, the perils of not seeking popularity, adapting Shakespeare to modern times (and how screenwriters Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith are great at it), how Patrick and Kat could have turned dating for cash into lucrative moneymaking endeavor, and how much we love David Krumholtz as Michael and every other role he's taken on. Strike up the marching band and give us a listen!

Kirsten ‘Kiwi’ Smith and Karen McCullah are the writers behind the timeless high school comedy 10 Things I Hate About You. Released in 1999, their Gil Junger-directed teen reworking of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew had it all: big laughs, blossoming romance, coming-of-age emotion and a ridiculously fun soundtrack. The film told the tale of two sisters: a smart but abrasive outcast called Kat (Julia Stiles) and her younger sibling Bianca (Larisa Oleynik), who’s banned from dating until her sister does. When new kid Cam (Joseph Gordon Levitt) falls for Bianca, a plan is hatched to set Kat up with mysterious bad boy Patrick, played by the late, great Heath Ledger.Karen and Kiwi told us all about the rebellious fun of turning a classic literary tale into a high school romp, the ahead-of-its-time feminist message they wanted the film to have, and the erotic fiction-loving character they cut out of the movie to cast the story in a whole new light. There’s also revelations about a secret, swear-word-related CGI shot you’ve probably noticed before, and what they’d do differently if they were writing the film today. Script Apart is a podcast about the first-draft secrets behind great movies. Each episode, the screenwriter behind a beloved film shares with us their initial screenplay for that movie. We then talk through what changed, what didn’t and why on its journey to the big screen. All proceeds go to Black Minds Matter UK, the NHS Charities Covid-19 Appeal and the Film and TV Charity.

We thought to ourselves, you know what, 39 standard tellings of Shakespeare just aren’t enough for us - we are going to add some BONUS content! And so here we are on our tenth episode bringing you a taste of the modern bard. The two shows we watched this week are re-tellings of last episode’s Taming of the Shrew, and I have to say these two movies are some of my favourites. One is a classic MGM Studio 1950’s era movie musical and the other is a classic Hollywood 1990’s era teen movie. If you’ve ever thought you would like to participate in the friendly banter about our takes on the productions we watch, this might be a readily accessible version of Shakespeare’s story for you to dip your toe!Email Address: hsaulpodcast@gmail.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hsaulpodcast/ Instagram: @hsaulpodcast Twitter: @hsaulpodcast Editing by Tammy Sarah Linde and Luke O'Hagan Music by Luke O'Hagan Audio excerpt from Henry V used under a Creative Commons License from Archive.org - license available here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's just too good to be true, and defies expectations of '90s teen movies, while simultaneously ignoring and respecting its Shakespearean heritage.

If you’re a studio executive looking to bring some hard-core humor to a female-centric comedy script, there’s a good chance Karen McCullough is at the top of your list of potential writers. After all, she wrote 10 Things I Hate About You, The House Bunny, and Legally Blonde (along with its upcoming sequel) alongside her writing partner Kirsten Smith. Meanwhile, her solo work includes the draft that got Girls Trip made—as well as countless other rewrites and feature scripts. As she helps Ben, Tom and guest host Arvind Ethan David mow through three bottles of Reims Champagne, Karen talks about how Legally Blonde 3 began to bubble up over the years, how she began her screenwriting career from New Mexico, and why she has no plans (thank you very much) to follow the writing herd to television.
