When writing a great script, all you really need is a good idea?

Ideas are what the Hollywood movie executives only really care about, ideas/commercial products that sell and make big summer blockbuster or new moneymaking television shows. Theirs probably over 1,800 writers on Americans writer’s guild and only 100 are submitted. The executives sometimes even pick the odd script or novel that just might sell, even if not created right or full of bad grammar and spelling errors. To those Hollywood producers it is merely a sale, but not how well constructed you have written your first screenplay, but if your script/novel is a moneymaking idea with commercial qualities it will defiantly be handpicked.

Seriously? I thought that it was more about them caring what would sell? There are plenty of great ideas out of there but look how much bullplop we see on our screens..

Yeah, but you'd be surprised what goes into some of those *bullplop* television scripts, that we see on our screens, and the less detail that goes into some of the mainstream television programmes & movies?
