Hi! It’s Lauren from GlamScene subbing in with a few quickie blog posts on GlamBuzz… Enjoy!
I seriously heart the movie Knocked Up. Love, love, love, love it. I saw it in the theaters; I bought the DVD; and I even fantasize about Seth Rogen as the future father of my chubby mini-Seth children. (No, seriously. He’s hot.)
Anyway, I recently came across the Knocked Up screenplay, and I’m absolutely obsessed. It’s my go-to read-on-the subway book.
Judd Apatow, the genius behind Knocked Up provides a really fun and intelligent introduction. He explains how the concept for the film came to him while he was working on the 40 Year Old Virgin. Since he was on set with the actors, he couldn’t simply go into reclusive writer-mode, pull up a laptop, and start typing…
So he would email himself fragments and blurbs and ideas about the movie from his blackberry. He provides a few of these gibberish emails for our reading pleasure in the published screenplay. It’s really interesting to see the evolution and changes in his thought process. Here is one of my favorite blackberry emails. It’s Judd’s idea for a scene between Seth Rogen and Maude Apatow (his adorable young daughter who plays Katherine Heigl’s niece.) And for those of you who haven’t seen the movie yet… what are you waiting for?!?

Shoot improves with Seth and Maude.
If I shoot the kids from across the room so it is mainly someone’s pov of them, it will be easier to get usable material.
Maude can speak the truth.
She calls him Fred Flinstone. “Cause you look like him.”
At the party scene she says, “They said bad things about you, but I stood up for you. They said you loved your bong more that my aunt. What’s a bong?”
“Do you like Barney?”
“I’m eight. I like Gwen Stefani.”
