Where do you get inspiration for movie ideas?

What is the most important aspect of revision of scripts?

Hello Mr. Seidler, Sincere congratulations on your diverse and inspiring success both personally and professionally. A favorite screenwriting mantra of this blog is: "Read Scripts. Watch Movies. Write Pages." Specifically for an aspiring screenwriter, do you have any more advice to add to this mantra? Thank you for your time.

I second this. What is the revision process in general? How do you know when you get a MOVIE idea and that it's worth pursuing? What was the most amazing part of making The King's Speech? The King's Speech is in my Top 5 favourite movies (um, counting trilogies as one). David Seidler is a movie star in my eyes.

Did you face "ageism" in the industry and, if so, how did you circumvent/overcome it?

Hello Mr. Seidler, I'm a big fan of the movie Tucker: The Man and His Dream. What can you tell us about working with Francis Ford Coppola and Arnold Schulman? Also, did scripting a biography like this influence your approach to The King's Speech? Thank you.

I didn't start writing and getting published until I was in my 40's, and I only started writing films last year (I'm 47). I wonder if Mr. Seidler could comment on navigating the writing world as a novice when the people who are your peers from an experience point-of-view are much younger than you.

How has your style and process changed from starting out writing for British TV and then transitioning to writing Hollywood movies?

What is the biggest mistake that amateur screenwriters make, whether on or off the script?

You were diagnosed with throat cancer in 2005, the same year you began working on "The King's Speech". And you've said that in an attempt to stop thinking about your woes, you plunged yourself into creative work. On any level, conscious or otherwise, did those two worlds collide? Did your own mortality play a role in the development of Bertie's character?
