Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Groundhog Day (1993): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Edge of Tomorrow (2014), which they shot: Groundhog Day ⇒ Edge of Tomorrow (the host's read). The pitch is Groundhog Day as sci-fi action, and it keeps the loop while adding war stakes.
    “Doug Lyman is doing like an sci-fi action movie groundhog day with Tom Cruise”

MTV: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Miami Vice (1984), which they shot: MTV ⇒ Miami Vice (the host's read). The show began as the legendary 'MTV cops' pitch from an NBC executive.
    “he wrote a brainstorming memo that read MTV cops.”

Susanna Moore: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through In the Cut (2003), which they shot: Susanna Moore ⇒ In the Cut (the host's read). Campion had been developing the film since the mid-90s, when she read Moore's novel.

Thief (1981): 1 line

ER (1994): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Miami Vice (1984), which they shot: Miami Vice ⇒ ER (the host's read). Miami Vice's influence made TV look like Mann movies; ER's steadicam is where that finishes.
    “An ER, you've got steady cam shots and that's when it's really done and dusted.”

    “That Maverick is really running on a lot of this.”

Zodiac (2007): 1 line

  1. people (casting) · through Collateral (2004), which they shot: Collateral ⇒ Zodiac (the host's read). Fincher cast Ruffalo partly because he liked him in Collateral.
