Something I've been musing about for a while that actually works better as a thread than as a traditional written piece:
There are some fun similarities between the development of the first eight EON James Bond films and Paramount's run of Friday the 13th...
First movies (DR. NO / FRIDAY THE 13TH):
We (the filmmakers/producers) don't really know what we're doing yet. We really just know that we want to capitalize on this popular existing thing (Ian Fleming's novels for Bond; John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN for F13).
