We're getting closer and closer to a lock on the script for Under Jakob's Ladder. Right now there's a "marshmallow wall"...A marshmallow wall??? Okay, by this we mean that if there are any changes made to the script, they can only be small changes.
Our goal is to have lock very soon. Of course, you're never in a complete lock... sometimes scripts can have changes to it, even on set while filming.
(Probably one of the most famous script doctorings happened with 'The Godfather'; with screenwriter Robert Towne coming in to write the patio scene in which the Godfather talks to Michael.)
Of course, throwing in a last-minute scene like that is hard for us to do since we're our own script doctors. So, we try to have the script as ready as possible for shooting. Although on Dear J, we did do some small scenes after principal photography was over to help clarify a few things in the movie. (We wrote and recorded our radio talk-show host rants nearly 9 months later!)
So, while the script will be locked, it will probably still have a marshmallow wall...
And who doesn't like marshmallows?
