Unveiling Jeffrey Lieber: The Untold Secrets Behind His Masterful Storytelling
So, I was the first writer on that and did a bunch of drafts and got it to a director and green lit, and then they brought in another writer to do some writing after that. But it was my second job. My first job was a script for DreamWorks, and the second one was Tuck.
The first couple projects I did, one was a spec and one was assigned, both of them got made, which is not a small feat.
Scott: Unusual. I know some writers, they’ve done 20 projects or more, and maybe gotten two or three made.
Jeff: Yeah, I certainly paid later on. I got a pile of scripts like everybody else does it that felt like they should be something and never turned into anything. I joke a lot that movies are Christian and TV is Jewish, which is to say that movies never die, right? They are eternally alive, and at any point can be resurrected from the dead and come back. What is sort of comforting about TV for me is that once a piece has died for the most part they just die, and so it’s very cyclical and close ended and there’s a time clock to them.
